3U CompactPCI solutions, having all the advantages of modular systems, are distinguished by their compact size and high resistance to such environmental factors as vibration and shocks. Therefore such solutions are especially popular in transport, in special purpose systems and mobile measuring systems designed for various applications.
6U CompactPCI solutions are widely used in telecommunications sector, industrial automation, machine-tool industry and other industrial fields. Adjusted PICMG standards, well-proven technologies of using batch data transmission through Ethernet network (PICMG 2.16) and the hot swap (PICMG 2.1), together with an extensive set of peripheral boards, chassis, backplanes and power supply units produced by a large number of manufacturers, enable to quickly and efficiently build various purpose systems based on 6U СompactPCI.
