Kontron is currently assisting its TEM clients in a multi-phase migration program that prepares them to develop immediately with 40G-ready AdvancedTCA platforms. During the first phase, TEMs can fully deploy platforms as 10G systems and, when ready, initiate the second phase to field upgrade with 40G switching and other multicore processing capabilities.
This avoids the cost of fork lifting entire systems and ensures TEMs can both protect their hardware capital expenses and make the changeover to 40GbE from 10GbE in line with a timetable that meets all the technical, cost, and revenue needs of their carrier and service provider clients.
Kontron is available to discuss its long-term 40GbE AdvancedTCA strategies and will be at the ATCA Summit (November 9-11, Booth 311) and at Mobile World Congress (February 14-17, 2011, Booth 2A28 in Hall 2).
