RapidIO Radio September Program To Feature IDT Addressing RapidIO Technology in the Wireless Infrastructure

In a relatively short period of time, our reliance on wireless communications devices has grown exponentially: from the commonplace wireless Bluetooth headsets seen on virtually every other person walking down the street today to the ability to carry personalized communication, information, and entertainment with us in our cars, our computers, our pockets and even as jewelry.

This escalating demand has put incredible strains and demands on service providers to create and rapidly deploy an exceedingly high-performance, reliable wireless infrastructure. To meet this need, manufacturers need flexibility and scalability, as well as the ability to create modular designs – traits that RapidIO technology deliver, and that make this standard a key component of wireless infrastructure designs. On September 25th, Bill Beane, Senior Product Manager, FCM Division, at Integrated Device Technology and an active member of the RapidIO Trade Association will discuss The Benefits Of Serial RapidIO In Achieving Flexibility And Scalability In Wireless Infrastructure.

The final 2006 podcast is scheduled for December 2006 and will feature QNX discussing software considerations. The 2007 schedule will be available in Q4. To download any of the RapidIO Radio presentations, visit www.RapidIO.org and click on the RapidIO Radio button at the top of the screen.
