Tundra partners Enea to deliver system software using RapidIO

Tundra Semiconductor Corporation, in System Interconnect, and Enea, in advanced device software for network systems, has collaborated to deliver Enea's LINX interprocess communications (IPC) services over RapidIO. Working with Tundra's new Serial RapidIO development platforms, Enea has implemented and verified complete support for LINX over RapidIO and interoperability with Tundra's RapidIO switches. Together, RapidIO and LINX provide a reliable, scalable, high performance interconnect platform for quickly developing and deploying next-generation communications infrastructure systems.

Linda Thompson, vice president of corporate alliances at Enea, said, "Network equipment providers require flexible system architectures that can be easily reused across multiple products lines, scaled to meet increased subscriber demand, and upgraded to deliver new services. Tundra's RapidIO technology, coupled with our LINX IPC services, provide a high performance, high-availability platform for deploying converged IP multimedia services that reduce capital and operating expenses for both equipment makers and service providers."

Daniel Hoste, stated, president and chief executive officer, Tundra Semiconductor, stated, "We were thrilled to partner with Enea to bring this technology to the communications infrastructure market. RapidIO is the right System Interconnect for high bandwidth communications systems and Enea's LINX over RapidIO will allow our communications customers to deploy new systems to market faster. RapidIO is increasingly penetrating new aspects of our customer's and partner's technology and Tundra is meeting the increased demand for its industry-leading expertise, products, and design tools as RapidIO evolves."
