Customizing an ATCA-Based Femto Access Gateway Design
Industry/Market: Telecom equipment manufacturer.
The Challenge: A telecom equipment manufacturer (TEM) wanted to quickly develop a femto access gateway with minimal development costs.
The Business Environment: The rapidly growing usage of mobile devices worldwide is forcing mobile operators and enterprises to enhance and extend in–building wireless systems.
The Solution: The TEM selected standards–based ATCA architecture in order to leverage the ecosystem and pull a deployment–ready system together quickly.
The Benefits: The design used an optimized backplane and commercial off–the–shelf (COTS) blades plus wireless protocol software that would have cost millions of dollars and taken more than two years if developed internally.
