The RXS 10xN family delivers up to 600Gbps fabric switching ideal for mobile infra-
structure applications such as 4G+/5G baseband modems, C-RAN, and mobile edge
computing. The switch configurations include a 24-port 48-lane (RXS2448) switch and
a 16-port 32-lane (RXS1632) switch. These RapidIO
®
products continue the tradition
of delivering the lowest latency (~100ns) through a flexible non-blocking fabric opti-
mized for bandwidth and power (Gbps/W). The RXS family excels at interconnecting
heterogeneous processing nodes as demonstrated in mobile infrastructure, mission
critical applications (VITA), industrial control (PICMG), and within data center com-
puting such as data analytics and high performance computing.
IDT’s RXS2448 and RXS1632 switches are ideal for heterogeneous computing ap-
plications. Applications such as 5G baseband modems, data analytic appliances,
and video infrastructure require a true low latency fabric to interconnect OEM ASIC,
FPGA, SOC, GPU, CPU and NPU functions seamlessly. The RXS family provides a
switch fabric that provides low latency transport that scales from local on-board
fabric computing to larger rack-scale data center switching.
