Sponsorship Details CompactPCI Tutorial 3. Fundamental Components CompactPCI offers a substantial number of benefits for developers interested in building telco-grade applications.
CompactPCI systems offer the durability and maintainability required for network applications.
Other advantages of CompactPCI are related to its Eurocard form factor, durable and rugged design, hot swap capability, and compatibility with the CT Bus. Eurocard Form Factor CompactPCI boards use the Eurocard form factor, field-proven for use in telco applications worldwide. Boards are held firmly in place by their connectors, guides on both sides, and a metal face plate that screws or latches onto the cage. The CT Bus lets developers build large, distributed, open CT systems in public network and customer-premises environments. The particular value attached to CompactPCI by the CT industry is closely connected to the development of interoperability standards.
