A-13000 R2

End-of-life product

UNICOM Engineering’s A-13000 R2 carrier-grade AdvandedTCA (ATCA) communications platform offers customers a standardized architecture for next-generation communications applications. This product has passed rigorous testing required by today’s telecommunication organizations. UNICOM Engineering’s ATCA system offers scalability and greater than 5-nines (99.999%) availability. The A-13000 R2 shelf features a 40 GbE “KR-Ready” backplane. This allows for 40 Gbps communication across the PICMG 3.1 fabric interface. Using this technology, it is possible to upgrade to 40 GbE capable switch and payload blades in the future without replacing the shelf infrastructure. This is becoming increasingly important as dataplane applications start migrating to ATCA based platforms. Equally important is the power and thermal characteristics of the A-13000 R2 shelf. It is designed to provide power and cooling to support new higher processing ATCA blades up to 300W per blade.
