| March 29, 2004 – Waterloo, Canada |

Kaparel, a Rittal company is showcasing their AdvancedTCA® Shelf intended for next generation telecommunication at the 2004 ElectronicaUSA Embedded Systems Conference held in San Francisco.
An executive member of PICMG, Kaparel/Rittal was involved in the development of the definition of the mechanical specifications, cooling in the Shelf and the routing analysis and simulation of the Full Mesh Backplane for the AdvancedTCA®.
The Kaparel ATCA Shelf complies with the current PICMG 3.0 specifications approved January 2004 and has unique features including stainless steel exterior, a one-piece card guide platform (patent pending) that provides EMI shielding. The 19” rack-mounted unit includes the 11401 Kaparel Full Mesh Backplane and distribution board. The system is available in two versions – one to accommodate the Intel “Colorado Springs” shelf management card and one to support the Force and Pigeon Point shelf management card.
Kaparel’s Director of Sales Mike Peters, a member of the PICMG 3.0 subcommittee stated, “The market has been waiting for a system that offers increased computing density, a new form factor and switched fabric architecture. Major OEMs are excited, incorporating the system into their infrastructure. We are getting positive responses from our customers about our ATCA and its expectations into the market place.”
