The VadaTech UTC002 is a feature-rich MCH (MicroTCA Carrier Hub) for the MTCA chassis. Its management software is based on VadaTech’s robust Carrier Manager and Shelf Manager which have been deployed for many years with proven results. The MCMC manages power modules, 2 Cooling Units and 12 AMCs within the MTCA chassis. It manages and provides access to the on-board fabric interfaces. The module is available with PCIe, SRIO, 10GbE/GbE Layer 2 managed, and SAS fabric interfaces.

The UTC002 runs Linux 2.6 on its MCMC CPU and is hot-swappable. It is fully redundant when used in conjunction with a second instance of the module. The firmware is HPM.1 compliant enabling easy upgrades.

The UTC002 has sophisticated clocking features. It has options for Telecom, GPS and/or Fabric clocks. Stratum-3 TCXO and VCTCXO is the default configuration. The board has a user-selectable option for protocol analyzer mode.
