ATCA and MicroTCA Customer Examples
Here are some examples of how Mercury solves tough computing problems for our customers. Each presents a unique set of tough requirements and constraints. All were solved using ATCA or MicroTCA solutions.

Adaptive Beamforming for Satellite Communications
Our customer challenged Mercury to support a sophisticated, extremely high-bandwidth beamforming application with a standards-based compute platform. We met the challenge with an ATCA system that delivered unprecedented I/O capacity and high-density FPGA computing.  View Customer Reference Story (PDF) |

Multiple Processing Elements for Test Equipment The challenge was to design a low-cost system that would combine multiple processing elements (PowerPCs, DSPs, and FPGAs) with high-bandwidth communications. We met the need with a MicroTCA system that linked various types of processor AMCs with a RapidIO switch fabric. |

Flexible High-bandwidth, Low-Latency Wireless Test Bed
Our customer needed a flexible, high-performance platform to serve as the basis for developing wireless communications software. We developed an ATCA solution that provided 10 Gbps over the backplane, while supporting control- and data-plane processing, tightly integrated with the customer’s RF sub-systems.
