Applications that Benefit from Gen2
3G and 4G Wireless: - Pervasive broadband everywhere through HSPA, 3G LTE and WiMAX
- Support more subscribers per base station with higher data rate and service per subscriber
- Handoffs at higher speed supporting broadband mobility up to and exceeding 100 km/h
- Increases performance of backplanes
- Reduce cost by running less links of long traces
- Allows better MIMO and advanced antenna systems algorithms within the system
Video: - Support high bandwidth to large DSP clusters using less wires
- Leverage multicast at higher data rates per link
- Supports high definition applications like high-end video conferencing and IPTV leveraging the peer-to-peer embedded communication capability at the higher speeds
Military: - Increased performance gains over Rev 1.3
- Support aggregation of larger processor clusters with less traces on single board computers for mission critical applications
- Support more bandwidth to backplane and board-to-board interconnect, enabling higher performance system
- RapidIO is the optimal interconnect for VITA 41 and VITA 46
- RapidIO is the most reliable interconnect
