PICMG 3.0 Revision 2.0 AdvancedTCA Base Specification. http://www.picmg.org</ref> (ATCA or AdvancedTCA) is the largest specification effort in the history of the [[PICMG|PCI Industrial Computer Manufacturers Group (PICMG)]], with more than 100 companies participating. Known as AdvancedTCA, the official specification designation PICMG 3.''x'' (see below) was ratified by the PICMG organization in December of 2002 <ref>Pavlat, Joe. "AdvancedTCA turns 10". CompactPCI and AdvancedTCA Systems Vol. 15, Issue 5. OpenSystems Media: 2011. http://advancedtca-systems.com/advancedtca-turns-10/</ref>. AdvancedTCA is targeted primarily to requirements for the next generation of "carrier grade" communications equipment, but has recently expanded its reach into more ruggedized applications geared toward the mil/aero industries thanas telecommunicationswell <ref>McDevitt, Joe.
