This encompasses the complete RADX portfolio of commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) and high-performance computing (HPC) hardware, including a range of Nvidia based GPUs, the only PXIe modules available on the market.

This next generation of compute power in PXIe form factor delivers new capabilities in a broad range of markets including aerospace, defence, automotive, life science and manufacturing. T&M applications are wide and varied across manufacturing inspection, cryptography, signal processing, image processing, deep learning, AI inference, RF and realtime hardware-in-the-loop (HiL). These test applications are at the forefront of the most complex and demanding of R&D and manufacture of devices, spanning autonomous vehicles, missile defence, space, electronic warfare, signal intelligence and drones. 

UK & EU Partnership
This new partnership enables KT-UK to assist deployment of PXI GPUs in test. This enables parallel data processing, advantages in air-gapped edge deployments and prove how GPUs easily surpass traditional CPU and FPGA-based systems by orders of magnitude. The partnership will provide:

• Full product range availability
• Local technical support and applications engineering
• Industry & domain specific product offerings incorporating RADX 
• Enhanced in-region coverage & capability
• Accelerated T&M deployments through combined thought leadership

Robin Irwin, Managing Director of KT-UK said: “This exciting partnership ensures we are the only solution provider able to offer high-performance T&M that uses PXIe-GPUs and PXIe-SSDs. RADX has developed a unique set of high-performance, COTS PXIe-modules that complement Konrad’s existing catalogue of PXIe. The RADX modules also complement products from other key partners such as National Instruments and Keysight. For our customers in the EU and UK to fulfill the promise of AI in test, they need PXIe-GPU and related capabilities to rapidly process large data at the edge and to source and sink huge amounts of data in real-time.” 

Ross Q. Smith, RADX CEO and Co-Founder, said: “Konrad is one of the most experienced and well-respected T&M systems integrators in the world and they work in an extremely wide range of complex domains. With their resources and abilities, KT-UK is uniquely well suited to integrate RADX PXIe-GPUs, PXIe-SSDs and other COTS products into advanced T&M systems for a wide range of customers across the EU and UK, and we are thrilled to partner with them.”

PXIe-GPU next gen compute demonstration 
At the Messe Muchen hosting Productronica 2025 (18th – 21st November) KT-UK will be exhibiting various PXIe based GPU test demonstrations:

• Realtime RF signal processing using a National Instruments (NI) Vector Signal Transceiver (VST) in NI LabVIEW using G2CPU (www.g2cpu.com) software 
• 1M Point Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) at 1.25 GHz Bandwidth accelerated on GPU vs CPU
• Chemical reaction diffusion, fractal simulation and gravity simulation parallel computations 

PXIe-SSD / -GbE
Complementing this next generation of computing power in T&M is a range of fixed, removable and RAID data storage in PXIe. This facilitates read, write and storage of vast amounts of data streaming; sustained, sequential read and write (SSRW) performance of up to ~7.2 GB/Sec Read and ~7.1 GB/Sec Write. Fast data movement from edge processing is also addressed with 100 Gigabit Ethernet (GbE) PXIe and RDMA enabled technologies.
