What applications are targeted by CompactPCI?
CompactPCI is intended as an industrial bus for application in telecommunications, computer telephony, real-time machine control, industrial automation, real-time data acquisition, instrumentation, military systems or any other application requiring high speed computing, modular and robust packaging design, and long term manufacturer’s support. Because of its extremely high bandwidth, the CompactPCI bus is particularly well suited for many high speed data communication applications such as servers, routers, converters and switches. Although as yet incomplete, a hot swap feature has been planned for in the CompactPCI specification which will be particularly well suited for the telecommunication industry.
