Advanced Telecom Computing Architecture (AdvancedTCA) has already been adopted by major Telecom Equipment Manufacturers (TEMs) as an open, standards-based Modular Communications Platform (MCP) of choice for next-generation telecom infrastructures. A modular and standards-based approach leads to interoperable and readily available commercial-off-the-shelf solutions from multiple vendors, and allows the telecom industry to realize dramatic price and performance benefits as well as the ability to deploy innovative applications faster. As AdvancedTCA-based MCP adoption grows, standards compliance and interoperability among numerous modular building blocks are becoming focal points for network equipment providers. This paper presents examples of AdvancedTCA-based building blocks for SS7 infrastructure solutions such as signaling gateways. Examples are based on COTS PMC and AdvancedMC modules from Interphase Corporation, and AdvancedTCA blades from Intel.
