Episode 3 of RapidIO® Radio from the RapidIO Trade Association is immediately available for download at www.RapidIO.org and www.iTunes.com. The third in a series, "RapidIO Delivers the Flexibility and Scalability Needed to Achieve Modular Wireless Infrastructure Design," explores some of the critical design issues facing the wireless infrastructure design community, and ways RapidIO technology has solved these challenges while delivering superior performance. The program is hosted by Tom Cox, the executive director of the RapidIO Trade Association, and features Bill Beane, senior product manager, FCM Division for IDT.

The final 2006 podcast “Software Considerations Around RapidIO Designs,” explores some of the critical software issues facing the wireless infrastructure design community, and ways RapidIO technology has solved these challenges while delivering superior performance, is scheduled for December. The program, with Jim Parisien, president of Fabric Embedded Tools, will provide basic information that listeners can take back to the lab and put to use at the board and system level. In doing so, he will examine some of the features built-in to the RapidIO standard that facilitate debugging of both software and hardware systems.

In 2007, RapidIO Radio will return with an expanded schedule beginning in January with Greg Shippen, system architect at Freescale Semiconductor who will talk with Tom Cox about the benefits of RapidIO vs. Ethernet. http://www.rapidio.org/wp/
