Follow on Google News | CERN selects xTCA Test Tools (ATCA Tester, mTCA Tester, AMC Tester) from Polaris NetworksPolaris Networks announced today that its range of automated manageability test tools for xTCA platforms has been selected by CERN for their internal testing of MicroTCA Carrier Hub, ATCA Blades and Advanced Mezzanine Cards (AMCs).
Polaris’ test tools for xTCA platforms comprises of: a) ATCA Tester that tests the Shelf Manager, intelligent FRUs, AdvancedMC (AMC) carrier boards and AMC modules in ATCA shelves for compliance with the hardware platform management requirements (Section 3) in the PICMG 3.0 Rev 3.0 specification. The ATCA Tester also tests 40G Eternet E-Keying based on the final draft of PICMG 3.1 R 2.0 specification; This suite of test tools would be used by the Electronic Systems for Experiments Group in the Physics Department of CERN to test xTCA systems being developed for critical experiments including those for the LHC. "Interoperability of commercial and custom built electronics will be key to the successful deployment of xTCA based modular electronics in the LHC and other experiments at CERN. We are confident the tester tools of Polaris Networks will enable us identify early and hopefully resolve many interoperability issues in an efficient way." says Markus Joos of PH/ESE Commenting on the occasion Aditya Saraf, VP Sales and Marketing stated “Since inception software tools from Polaris for xTCA, WiFi, LTE, have been primarily been used by equipment vendors for their development and testing purposes. We feel very proud to be associated with the European Organization for Nuclear Research, CERN and are excited to support them in their research activities by remaining committed to continuously enhance our xTCA test tools based on changes in PICMG specifications.” By checking the compatibility of building-blocks with respect to ATCA or MicroTCA system management requirements, and by testing all building blocks in an integrated system, independently or simultaneously, the xTCA testers from Polaris Networks help in increasing interoperability of building blocks and decreasing development and integration time. These automated Test tools are useful for reducing the QA time from days to hours. Polaris Tested ATCA Boards, MCHs and AMCs are compliant to the latest PICMG standards. About Polaris Networks Polaris Networks has played a key role in promoting and facilitating the widespread adoption of new technologies related to communications and networking. Polaris' range of xTCA Test Tools is widely used by system integrators and manufacturers for their internal testing and QA of ATCA, microTCA and AMC based building blocks and systems. From testing open standards for telecom platforms, the HPI and AIS tester verifies service availability standards as specified by the SA Forum, for telecom middleware. Apart from these xTCA Testers Polaris Networks provides comprehensive test solutions for LTE equipment manufacturers and operators.
