IPnexus AMP5072 application-ready system

The AMP5072 is part of PT’s family of IPnexus application-ready systems. It is a reliable and integrated 1U MicroTCA-compliant platform that maximises payload slot density in a 1U form factor.

The systems offer an integrated and COTS-based hardware and software solution to rapidly develop and deploy value-added capabilities to embedded applications for demanding operating environments such as wireless, telecom, aerospace, and defence.

The integrated serial RapidIO switch provides inter-connectivity for AMC payload such as embedded processors, FPGAs and DSPs, as well as dual uplinks to chain systems together.

The system supports up to six AdvancedMC module payload slots in a 1U shelf. High reliability is achieved with redundant and hot-swappable power supplies and fan trays. Its architecture integrates non-payload functions, such as the ethernet switch, serial RapidIO switch and carrier/shelf manager into the rear of the chassis.

It features dual 1 GbE ethernet to each slot plus quad uplinks, and the switch supports one 4x port to four slots, dual 4x ports to two slots, and dual 4x uplinks. Storage is accommodated by direct SATA/SAS slot-to-slot connections between the AMC sites.
