Unitronix AMP5072 1U MicroTCA application-ready system

The AMP5072 1U MicroTCA application-ready system features Serial RapidIO fabric with system timing module for wireless base station synchronisation. These systems integrate all the hardware components, operating system and software protocols, and are suitable for wireless application development.

The high-performance, small-footprint, 1U MicroTCA platform is tuned for wireless applications such as LTE eNodeB and EPC solutions, as well as WiMAX base station and ASN/CSN solutions.

The MicroTCA-compliant platform maximises payload slot density in a 1U form factor. Application-ready systems offer a highly integrated and comprehensive COTS-based hardware and software solution to rapidly develop and deploy value-added capabilities to embedded applications for demanding operating environments such as wireless, telecom, aerospace and defence. The integrated Serial RapidIO switch provides high-performance interconnectivity for AMC payloads such as embedded processors, FPGAs and DSPs, as well as dual uplinks to chain systems together.

The AMP5072 supports up to six AMC module payload slots in a 1U shelf. High reliability is achieved with redundant and hot-swappable power supplies and fan trays. Its architecture integrates non-payload functions, such as the ethernet switch, Serial RapidIO switch and carrier/shelf manager into the rear of the chassis. It features dual 1 GbE to each slot plus quad uplinks, and the Serial RapidIO switch supports one 4x port to four slots, dual 4x ports to two slots, and dual 4x uplinks. Storage is accommodated by direct SATA/SAS slot-to-slot connections between the AMC sites.
