Essential Building Blocks for ATCA/MicroTCA Applications
CEN-PICO-1US™ 1U MicroTCA Bench Top System
CorEdge Networks’ CEN-PICO-1US™, a complete standalone MicroTCA system, provides software and hardware developers with an ideal tool for design, development, debug, and test of AMC and MicroTCA solutions. Slightly larger than a typical laptop computer, the CEN-PICO-1US™ delivers MicroTCA power and management functions to two compliant AMC bays. A cross-connected backplane eliminates the need for a switch in the system and enables seamless interoperability with any base, fabric, and extended fabric combination. Removable top and bottom covers allow easy access to powered AMCs for hardware probing and debug. In addition to its value as a development platform, the CENPICO-1US™ is an ideal solution for space and cost sensitive applications such as test and measurement equipment, discrete IMS elements, and security appliances.
