RapidIO roadshow kick off in Munich and Paris

The RapidIO Trade Association's Munich and Paris Global RapidIO Design Summits will take place immediately before and after the AdvancedTCA Summit Europe.

Ensuring that design engineers have access to practical, up-to-date information on the state of RapidIO while maximising the value of business travel, The RapidIO Trade Association's Munich and Paris Global RapidIO Design Summits will be on 17th and 20th September, respectively, taking place immediately before and after the AdvancedTCA Summit Europe to be held just outside Paris.

The Munich Global RapidIO Design Summits will be held at Innside Hotel and the Paris forum at Novotel Paris Vaugirard Hotel, both from 0900 to 1700 local time.

Registration for these highly anticipated events is now open, and space is limited.

These summits, developed specifically to illustrate how the embedded design community can achieve improved system performance and reliability with the high-speed, flexible RapidIO interconnect and fabric, provide engineering managers, system architects, and embedded product developers with practical information on RapidIO technology and products they can utilise now in their production products.

The Summits, sponsored by the member companies of the RapidIO trade association are open to qualified delegates at no cost.

"The RapidIO eco-system will be extremely well-represented at this year's Summits' expanded presentations and hardware demonstrations, all focused on practical designs and implementations using RapidIO interconnect technology", says Tom Cox, Executive Director of the RapidIO Trade Association.

Two tracks of technical sessions highlighting RapidIO technology, applications examples, software considerations, practical design recommendations, and RapidIO products as well as a technology lab featuring multi-vendor RapidIO interoperability demonstrations using state-of-the-art RapidIO products from multiple vendors highlight the events.

Technical experts from the RapidIO Trade Association member companies will provide a unique opportunity for delegates to interact directly with RapidIO technology experts and get their specific questions answered.

A complimentary light breakfast, lunch and snacks will be provided.

Further RapidIO design summits are scheduled during 2007 for: Boston, Massachusetts, USA on Thursday 4th October; Seoul, Korea on Monday 5th November; Shanghai, China on Wednesday 7th November; Shenzhen, China on Friday 9th November; Hyderabad or Chennai, India on Tuesday 13th November; and Bangalore, India on Thursday 15th November 2007.
