Absolute Analysis Joins the RapidIO Trade Association

Newbury Park, CA (PRWEB) June 06, 2011

Absolute Analysis and the RapidIO Trade Association today announced that Absolute Analysis has joined the open-standards body as a member and will help promote the adoption of the RapidIO Interconnect Technology by providing test methodologies and equipment to the RapidIO ecosystem.

The RapidIO specification addresses the need in the marketplace for a high performance serial interconnect. It defines a switch fabric architecture for chip-to-chip and board-to-board communication within a system that supports transmission rates hundreds of times faster than current technology.

One of the biggest problems engineers have in using this high performance communications protocol is validating and debugging their design. Absolute Analysis has a suite of tools that not only enable engineers to perform these tasks, but also do it in a shorter timeframe than any other tool suite on the market today.

“Absolute Analysis is impressed with the technology and applications that the RapidIO Specification has been able to offer to the market. said Roger Paje, Director of Marketing, Absolute Analysis. With our release of the InvestigatorTM for Serial RapidIO, we feel we can contribute to this ecosystem by providing best-in-class serial test tools and methodologies that will enable designers who use this technology to get their products to market faster.

Since RapidIO Technology excels in environments needing true peer-to-peer clusters of embedded processors, it is dominant in the baseband cards and backplanes in LTE and WiMAX applications. It also has a strong foothold in military and aerospace radar electronics, medical electronics for video imaging, and the storage industry for cloud computing control.

“I am pleased that Absolute Analysis has joined the RapidIO Trade Association as our newest member. The addition of Absolutes test tools to the RapidIO Eco-System, will further enable developers of the RapidIO technology to produce higher quality products and get them to market faster.”
