Wind River Solutions for TCA and COTS-Based Systems

Application-Ready for Quicker Time-to-Market

As a telecom and network equipment provider, you must continually find ways to differentiate your product, get to market faster, and reduce development costs. Often the true value you provide to your customers is in the applications you build—not in the components you integrate.

You need an application-ready software platform that has already been integrated with the leading commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) systems and Advanced Telecommunications Computing Architecture (ATCA) standards-based networking applications. Developing your own doesn't make strategic sense anymore, and it simply takes too long.

Wind River offers software solutions for ATCA, MicroTCA, and other COTS hardware systems for networking applications. We have partnered with the leading systems board vendors to integrate and optimize our multi-core-ready carrier grade run-time software for their 1, 10, and 40GbE products. We have also partnered with a targeted set of independent software vendors (ISVs) to extend the capabilities of our platform with high availability and system management middleware.

Now equipment providers can leverage best-of-breed components from industry-leading companies for multiple ATCA and MicroTCA and next-generation network infrastructure projects.
