The RadiSys Promentum ATCA-1200 is an ATCA managed quad-AMC carrier blade engineered to host up to four single-size or two double-size Advanced Mezzanine Cards within a standard ATCA chassis. Built around a PowerQUICC™ III processor, this blade delivers a fully managed environment for AMC modules, eliminating the need for on-card intelligence on I/O devices. The integrated 24 or 26-port managed switch and network timing switch provide clock distribution to synchronous interfaces, enabling coordinated operation of STM-1/OC-3 and E1/T1 timing-sensitive I/O. Deploy the ATCA-1200 as a standalone carrier within an ATCA shelf or integrate it into larger solutions such as the ATCA-7400 line card platform.
Technical Specifications

– Key Features
• Mixed AMC form-factor support for configuration flexibility
• On-card processing eliminates dependency on intelligent I/O modules
• Network timing switch distributes synchronous clock signals to carrier-resident AMCs
• Support for CGL (Carrier Grade Linux) software stack and Promentum ATCA firmware
• Backward compatibility with RadiSys 10G equipment in ATCA 4.0 deployments
– Typical Applications
• High-performance telecommunications infrastructure requiring multi-card carrier solutions
• Distributed data processing systems within ATCA shelves
• Clock-synchronized I/O aggregation for legacy and modern telecom standards (STM-1/OC-3, E1/T1)
• Scalable sub-systems in larger ATCA-based line card solutions
– Compatibility & Integration
Operates within standard ATCA chassis environments and integrates with Promentum ATCA software, firmware, and middleware stacks. Suitable for deployment as an isolated sub-system or as a building block within integrated ATCA platforms such as the ATCA-7400 solution.
