This paper evaluates the performance of several choices of Reed-Solomon code and shows how a frame-interleaved RS(30,26) code can achieve 1e-15 bit-error rate (BER) in the presence of burst errors. See the authors conclude that, as data rates go higher, current 128b/130b encoding is not a good option as the two-bit 01/10 overhead suffers due to its Nyquist pattern property.
PLDA and Samtec announced a demo of their combined PCIe 4.0 solution that delivers full PCIe 4.0 bandwidth (16 GT/s) over copper or optical fiber at minimal cost. The solution is based on a PLDA PCIe 4.0 acquisition board running PLDA’s PCIe 4.0 controller IP combined with Samtec’s FireFly™ Micro Flyover System™.
Keyssa® announced its Virtual Pipe I/O (VPIO) architecture that enables I/O to scale with processor/memory performance and allows product designers to develop new classes of products. Additionally, Keyssa’s previously announced next-generation solid-state connector, the KSS104M is now in mass production and designed into products slated for launch in 2019.

Growing data volumes and continually increasing processing and transmission speeds represent major challenges for board designers. The most widely used fast data interfaces are the DDR memory interfaces (DDR2, DDR3 and DDR4, including the low-power variants) and the USB and PCI Express (PCIe) serial communications interfaces.
