AUSTIN, Texas -- 2006 has been a significant year for designers integrating RapidIO technology into their high performance solutions for storage, wireless communications, military, industrial, triple play and other embedded markets, as products proliferate, the first RapidIO test facility is operational, and Global Design Summits aid in product development.

"2006 has truly been the year of RapidIO deployment from OEM design activity and product deployment, to interoperability and interworking, and, of course, market share growth," said Tom Cox, executive director for the RapidIO Trade Association. "As we near 2007, it is clear that the powerful RapidIO ecosystem will continue to execute on its technology roadmap and drive applications in new and emerging embedded markets across the globe."
