In the News

During the last few months, The RapidIO® Trade Association, its members and their products continue to be sought after news in the industry. Recognizing the explosive deployment taking place in 2006, several of the RapidIO Trade Association members offered their perspectives on how the year started off:

“It is very encouraging to see the launch of new serial RapidIO components and the expansion of our ecosystem. This demonstrates an increasing level of trust in the RapidIO standard, thereby making RapidIO more viable," said Dr. Peter Olanders, research manager at Ericsson and vice chairman of RapidIO Trade Association.
"From the beginning, QNX Software Systems has seen the RapidIO interconnect as a key enabler for next-generation networking and communications systems," said Mark Roberts, director of product management at QNX. "From actively promoting the benefits of RapidIO technology to supporting the first communications processor to implement serial RapidIO, our commitment to the RapidIO standard continues to grow, and we're excited by the increasing adoption of RapidIO among our embedded customers."
"It is exciting that leading system manufacturers are bringing RapidIO products to market," said Travis Scheckel, Texas Instruments Communications Infrastructure Systems team member and RapidIO Technical Working Group chair. "The breadth of announcements in Q1 2006 highlights the robust RapidIO ecosystem and underscores the growing importance of RapidIO interconnects for embedded system applications."

Following are some of the many places where the RapidIO Trade Association made headlines between October 2005 and February 2006.
