Traversing the Telecom Standards Maze

| The software part of the telco open standard/specification story includes the
| Linux operating system (OS). The Linux OS is a royalty-free product available
| from a variety of vendors that provide service and support for developers
| using the OS. As with cPCI, ATCA, AMC, and MicroTCA hardware, the Linux OS
| can serve developers of telco systems as a standard design element that
| offers low cost, multi-vendor availability, and continual innovation that
| proprietary system designs cannot match. Â* Â* Â*

| Both MTCA and ATCA define standardized, open architectures for affordable
| telecommunication hardware based on modular, off-the-shelf components
| available from multiple vendors. And, both tend to be used with Linux, since
| Linux is also an open standard delivered off-the-shelf and targeted at
| telecom applications by multiple vendors, including Red Hat, MontaVista,
| Asianux, and Wind River, most of whom provide Carrier Grade Linux
| distributions. Â* Â* Â*

Linux in Telecommunications

| On the other hand, Linux business applications for smaller telcos,
| and in the longer term for large organizations, offer freedom of
| choice in hardware that does not make a company captive of any particular
| vendor. "We are seeing a strong market response to our Linux-based
| product," said Iperia's Art Leondires. "Our customers see that the Â*
| reliability of Linux is right up there with the reliability of other
| proprietary systems, but Linux gives our customers freedom in their
| hardware purchase decisions."

| standard, Intel-based blade, Martino said HP will also offer Linux with the
