GE Intelligent Platforms VPX Technology
Thank you, VME Hello, VPX It’s no exaggeration to say that the VMEbus has been one of the most successful computing architectures in history. VPX is intended to extend and build on that success. Anyone who has worked in rugged, industrial or defense computing owes a debt to VME. But the latest applications are making demands that VME simply cannot meet, and that is the reason VPX* was developed by VITA (VMEbus International Trade Association).
Field applications are the driving force behind VPX Sensor and signal processing applications require massive bandwidth and VPX delivers. Mission Computers Rugged systems are designed to survive and thrive in harsh environments. They stand up to challenges like temperature extremes, shock, vibration, EMI and G-forces. VPX offers computational speed and graphics capabilities which will make mission applications even more effective and real-time.
The future of rugged COTS systems is here now VPX is revolutionizing the world of rugged mil/aero systems by delivering blazing performance in the harshest environments. New Connectors At the heart of the VPX standard are new high-bandwidth connectors. They deliver highly controlled impedance, minimal insertion loss and less than 3% crosstalk at transfer rates up to 6.25 Gbits/second.
