Summary
VITA 100 is a next-generation plug-in module form factor currently being standardized by the VITA Standards Organization as a follow-on to OpenVPX. It represents the natural progression of performance and technological advancement that the market previously experienced growing from VME and VME64 on to OpenVPX. In this webcast we will give a sneak preview of the next generation MULTIGIG RT connector selected by the VSO as the new standard, examine what enables the enormous boost in performance we can expect from VITA 100 and some of the interesting technical features that are currently in discussion in the working groups, and wrap up with the overall schedule that has been proposed for VITA 100’s roll-out.
