CompactPCI (cPCI) is finding new growth areas in the following:

• Avionics
• Medical
• Military

In the 90’s, cPCI’s growth was driven primarily by the telecom and industrial computing markets.  Over the years, and as a result of the downturn in the telecom industry, cPCI has evolved and found new growth sectors.

There’s been an uptick in military and aerospace because it’s superior in technology to VME, and a more proven technology as compared to OpenVPX.  This makes it ideal for markets demanding rugged, reliable, and high performance systems.
By migrating new processor technologies to cPCI, you are ready to tackle today’s most demanding compute-intensive applications.  For maximum compute and power densities, the 3U cPCI form factor offers a platform that’s easy to ruggedize, and takes up minimal footprint.  For this reason, 3U cPCI products are finding a receptive marked in military, air, and ground vehicle applications.
