"The military/aerospace market has been identified as one of material, near term potential for MicroTCA and our research efforts confirm the existence in this market segment of a demand for the benefits offered by MicroTCA. If MicroTCA can prove to defense contractors that the architecture is rugged enough there will be scalable, profitable demand for MicroTCA in mil/aero applications. MicroTCA suppliers must get to mil/aero industry trade shows and pursue other defense specific demand generation activities to increase the familiarity of mil/aero customers with the existence of this architecture borne in the telecom/datacom market. MicroTCA can provide these customers with great performance and exceptional value, so a little education will go a long way in generating demand to drive the MicroTCA market forward. Fully understanding the MicroTCA value propositions and their value customers is key to this effort," says Eric Heikkila, Director of VDC's Embedded Hardware and Systems Practice.
