Talk:Advanced Telecommunications Computing Architecture

I came to this page expecting a compare and contrast between ATCA and CompactPCI, and instead got this ambiguous overview that barely ackowledges that ATCA is a peripheral interconnect standard. Maybe it's the case that ATCA is an overview standard, and the refering page sets up an unrealistic expectation of what one would find here.

This article should answer these questions:

1. What is ATCA? What problem does it solve?
2. How is it different from CompactPCI?
3. Who is expected to use it; who uses it now?
4. What are the specifications?
5. What does the connector look like, if these specifications exist?
