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."
