Mercury Computer Systems, Inc. a leading provider of high-performance, embedded computing solutions for image, sensor, and signal processing applications, announced initial shipments of its Ensemble 8000 Series AdvancedTCA (ATCA) system to Artiza Networks, supporting Artiza's market-leading, next-generation test equipment for wireless applications. The Ensemble 8000 Series platform meets the rigorous performance requirements of this application due to the combination of DSP, FPGA, and control plane processing coupled to the RapidIO® deterministic switch fabric.

The new test equipment from Artiza is a high-capability production test system, said Ian Shearer, Director of Business Development at Mercury Computer Systems. Our ability to provide the full set of processing resources Artiza needs as a part of an integrated platform allowed it to achieve ambitious time-to-market objectives and demonstrate a fully functional solution ahead of its competitors.

Robust system configurations can be built using Mercury's Ensemble 8000 Series ATCA or Ensemble 2000 Series MicroTCA Application Platforms, with systems scaling from two to one hundred or more AMC-based processing elements. These systems all support high-bandwidth backplane data movement with the RapidIO switch fabric. Application developers can use the platforms to combine extreme processing density, with low-latency, deterministic communications.
