Renesas offers a high-performance, low-power, and low latency RapidIO switch series, making it an ideal choice for peer-to-peer multiprocessor embedded systems with up to 6.25 Gbaud per serial link. Renesas RapidIO switches feature low power consumption, low latency, and industry-leading interoperability, configurability, and per port power. Currently, Renesas is selling fifth generation RapidIO switches suitable for wireless, video, military, and industrial applications, which can support both RapidIO 1.3 and 2.1 standards.
RapidIO switches are the foundation for 3G and 4G wireless base stations used for chip to chip, board to board, and chassis to chassis links, including secure encryption/decryption of the S-RIO protocol that enables out of the box wiring. This complete set of products has made the popularization of mobile broadband a reality. Renesas RapidIO can bring high-definition real-time imaging, video, and conference systems to people's lives. In military and embedded computing, the reliability and durability of Renesas RapidIO have been fully demonstrated on the battlefield, making missiles safer and enabling original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) to deploy complex multiprocessor systems in any application from fighter jets to shipborne electronic devices.
