Radisys Introduces Graphics and Processing-Intensive COM Express Module, Supporting Latest Intel ProcessorsJun 01, 2012 (Close-Up Media via COMTEX) -- Radisys Corp., a provider of embedded wireless infrastructure solutions, announced the CEQM77 family of ultra-portable COM Express modules, based on third-generation Intel Core i7 processors, to support higher processing and graphics performance for video-intensive applications. According to a release, the CEQM77 combines quad and dual-core performance, the option for error correcting code (ECC) memory and a ruggedized COM Express module with a -40C to +85C temperature range to meet demanding requirements for embedded technology applications in the aerospace and defense (A&D), medical and enterprise markets. "The rapid evolution of A&D applications requires us to stay on top of the technology curve and we rely heavily on our suppliers to provide the innovative solutions that will keep us moving forward," said David Gutman, President and COO, Tulip Development Labs, a world class provider of shock, vibration and environmentally-rugged in-vehicle or aircraft mounted LCD displays. "Radisys consistently provides access to the newest silicon offerings on industry-standard COM Express modules, allowing us to offer our customers the performance they need for their mission critical applications, as well as a quick upgrade path without significant engineering costs." Supporting the third-generation Intel Core i7 processors such as the quad-core 2.3GHz 3615QE, Radisys said its CEQM77 provides a 20 percent processing performance increase and twofold graphics acceleration over the previous generation module, all while extending the product lifetime and maintaining a smooth upgrade path for previous COM Express based applications. "The combination of ruggedness, reliability and performance in Radisys' COM Express modules enables our customers to implement an entire system or network that can be picked up and moved to meet changing battlefield situations," said Jennifer Zickel, COM Express product line manager, Radisys. "For example, by combining Radisys Trillium 3G and LTE wireless software with our COM Express portfolio we are enabling ruggedized portable wireless end-to-end communications networks, including the full core network, in a 60mm x 120mm x 150mm package. In addition, our Software Media Server performs multimedia packet processing for real-time communication applications in the battlefield, like push-to-talk services over ad-hoc cellular networks."
