PrAMC6210

The Advanced Mezzanine Card (AdvancedMC™) standard is a collaboration by major telecom OEMs and suppliers to create an optimal expansion platform for AdvancedTCA® (ATCA®), MicroTCA™, or proprietary baseboards and systems that addresses major bandwidth, availability, field upgradeability, cost, scalability, management and interoperability issues.

Emerson’s PrAMC-6210 is available as a full or mid, single AdvancedMC (AMC) based on the Freescale Semiconductor MPC8641D PowerPC® microprocessor. PrAMC-6210 provides modular, upgradeable, computing power for telecommunications applications such as protocol processing, packet processing, data management and I/O management.

PrAMC-6210 is designed with carrier grade features to address a high availability requirement. Its dual-flash bank architecture along with high mean time between failures (MTBF) enable network equipment manufacturers to achieve 5NINES availability. To support high-speed packet data transfers on and off the card, PrAMC-6210 features Gigabit Ethernet (GbE) and PCI Express interfaces to the carrier or backplane. With ever-increasing application and data transfer requirements, this combination of more traditional GbE interfaces and the emerging PCI Express interface allows developers to easily migrate existing applications.

PrAMC-6210 is hot-swappable, which allows modules to be replaced by operators or service organizations in the field without bringing down an entire ATCA blade or system. This reduces spares costs and mean time to repair (MTTR), lowering both CapEx and OpEx. PrAMC-6210 also provides an IPMI-based system management interface, which enables operators to pinpoint and fix problems at the module level, also lowering MTTR and OpEx.
