Expert Comments
“XPedite5330 is a continuation of Extreme's dedication to a modular product assembly line, allowing Extreme to move from one form factor to another with virtually identical hardware and software. Freescale's advanced MPC8572E dual-core processor is a natural fit to expand our 3U CompactPCI product offerings to our customers in a low-power/high-performance form factor,” states Aaron Lindner, Engineering Manager for X-ES.
“Extreme Engineering’s third MPC8572E product development in as many months underscores the company’s expertise in deploying Freescale silicon into compelling designs,” states Glenn Beck, a marketing manager within Freescale’s Networking Systems Division. “Offering customers multiple hardware configurations plus direct RTOS support helps our joint customers get to market fast.”
