OpenSystems Publishing (OSP), LLC today announced its upcoming E-cast on the mechanical aspects of VPX[
], moderated by Chris Ciufo, Group Editorial Director, Military & Aerospace Group. VPX represents the future of VME. Eschewing the still relevant 25-year-old parallel bus backplane in favor of serial switched fabrics, VPX supports literally hundreds of user-defined I/O lines at speeds approaching 5 GHz. VPX, also known as VITA 46, has a companion specification called Ruggedization Enhanced Design Implementation ()REDI, aka VITA 48.
Curtiss Wright Controls Embedded Computing and Elma Bustronic will discuss the myriad mechanical aspects of the two specifications, including backplane design, transition modules, and chassis implementations.
Curtiss Wright Controls Embedded Computing and Elma Bustronic will be available for a Q&A session immediately following the E-cast.
