Tim Miller, President of the StarFabric Trade Association stated, "The PICMG 2.17 StarFabric specification is attracting wide-spread attention as evidenced by the sheer mass of vendors demonstrating its applicability at the show. The low-cost interoperability inherent in StarFabric is exactly what vendors needs to remain competitive."
The StarFabric demonstration will be held in Booth # 11 at Bus&Board 2003, which will take place Monday, January 20, and Tuesday, January 21, 2003. Presented by VITA and PICMG, Bus&Board 2003 will take place at the Hyatt Regency Long Beach, and is focused on VMEbus, CompactPCI, PCI, PC104, motherboards, and mezzanine cards for embedded applications.
Mike Peters, Director of Sales for Kaparel, commented, "Kaparel is an executive member of the StarFabric Association, as well as a member of the PICMG 2.17 sub-committee, and offers a StarFabric Platform that enables users to develop applications that provide designers with a fast-to-market solution based on this architecture." Mr. Peters also noted, "Kaparel can also provide a complete custom turnkey solution for customers to suit their particular 2.17 requirements."
