AdvancedTCA is gaining popularity in systems outside of the telecom Central Office (CO). Several potential customers in enterprise, scientific, and high-performance computing applications have shown a great deal of interest in AdvancedTCA. Even military communications systems vendors have shown interest. Although AdvancedTCA is geared for the CO, customers in these other market segments love the bandwidth, open standard format, form factor, reliability, and proven interoperability of the specification.
