MicroTCA Summit

“We haven’t seen this kind of broad-based interest in a standard since VMEbus. This clearly validates MicroTCA’s potential impact on the market.”

MicroTCA, the new low-cost backplane specification, will revolutionize the embedded world!

Here is a spec that can handle the latest processors and interfaces, and the most demanding high-availability applications in a small, low-cost form factor. Market researchers predict it will be a multibillion-dollar business. It’s already finding uses in telecom, enterprise networking, military/defense/aerospace systems, storage, medical equipment, broadcasting equipment, industrial and process control, test equipment and more.
