AdvancedTCA: The effect beyond telecom
By Todd Etchieson (RadiSys Corporation)
Summary:
Telecom Equipment Manufacturers (TEMs) and service providers are realizing the benefits of incorporating standards-based, off-the-shelf components and systems into their designs. Improved time-to-market and economies of scale, reduced development costs, long life support, and a strong supply chain are benefits that could transfer to market se... (continues)

Solving power blackout problems
By Paul Skoog (Symmetricom)
Summary:
There are few products more critical to a complex society than electrical energy. Wide area blackouts caused by uncommonly high usage, natural causes, human design, or operating errors are catastrophic, but could be reduced to a minor inconvenience if proper ways to pacify or calm the system grid were employed. Even before the last large blac... (continues)
