This Tech Talk explores VPX (VITA46), a new derivative of VMEbus architecture.  More demanding applications and new technologies require increased levels of performance.

VPX architecture offers maximum system flexibility, allowing system engineers to configure hybrid backplanes to meet exact needs of their application(s) and substantially improve price/performance.

Sierra Sales will work with you to design the VPX architecture to meet your specific application requirements.
