	Title:	Sundance Goes Beyond 3G With ‘Radio Giga’ Reference Platform ( 1245)
	Summary	Features Virtex 5 Xilinx FPGAs, C Series TI DSP and 6 Channels of GHz ADC from e2v. Form Factor Means Radio Giga is 1U Ready
	Main Text	Sundance has announced the introduction of Radio Giga to the high-end communications market. Designed for applications such as 3G/4G Radio, Wireless infrastructure applications, Broadband cable modem head-end systems and Software Defined Radio (SDR), Radio Giga provides designers with a cross technology platform (XTP) that is user configurable by processing fabric, architecture, comms ports and protocol. Radio Giga will be exhibited at the Embedded Systems Conference, Hynes Convention Center, Boston MA 28th – 29th October 2008. Radio Giga’s XTP capabilities are driven by the Sundance commitment to modular design that integrates cutting edge multiprocessing technologies and backwards compatibility with already deployed architectures. In its headline configuration Radio Giga features multiple Virtex 4 and Virtex 5 Xilinx FPGAs, Dual C Series TI DSP engines with 260MBytes/s Serial RapidIO (SRIO) communication links, Power PC processor cores and 6 channels of low power GHz e2v ADC. Being 1U compliant, Radio Giga delivers incredible rack real-estate efficiencies and offers both Gigabit Ethernet and USB interconnect.
