"Having a consistent standard is the first step to making AdvancedTCA a marketable solution for mainstream communications platforms. CP-TA is working to create a true 'industry standard' by narrowing the options for specification implementation and certifying interoperable building blocks. I see the efforts of the CP-TA as a key enabler for a new generation of communications platforms."

Video Demonstrations of CP-TA Test Tools

ATCA Tester

The ATCA Manageability Tester is an automated software tool testing the Hardware Platform Management Software and IPMC Firmware Upgradation implementation in ATCA & AMC based building-blocks or systems. It is designed for Hardware manufacturers, System Integrators and Telecom Equipment Manufacturers who wish to reduce the time and resources spent on ATCA, AMC and Hardware Platform Management (HPM) testing and interoperability issues during the development and qualification of building-blocks or during system integration. The tester also helps meet interoperability and certification requirements of their systems for compliance with the ATCA certification suite.

MicroTCA Tester

The Polaris Networks MicroTCA Tester determines how well the platform management software in MicroTCA building blocks conforms to relevant PICMG specifications. The MicroTCA building blocks that can be tested are: Shelf Manager, Carrier Manager, MicroTCA Carrier Management Controller (MCMC) and the Enhanced Module Management Controller (EMMC).

AMC Tester

The Polaris Networks AMC Tester is an automated test suite for testing the hardware-management software implementation in Module Management Controllers (MMC) and Carrier Managers essential for MMCs. It is designed for AMC manufacturers and system integrators, who wish to reduce the time and resources spent on AMC testing, during the development and regression-testing of building blocks or during system integration. The tester also helps meet interoperability and certification requirements of their systems for compliance with the AMC certification suite.

HPI Tester

The Polaris Networks HPI tester is focused on the Hardware Platform Interface in highly-available systems such as AdvancedTCA and MicroTCA platforms. It tests whether the system under test implements all API functions correctly and also includes platform specific tests such as tests for ATCA platforms.
