RapidIO fabrics are used in cellular infrastructure 3G, 4G and LTE networks with millions of RapidIO ports shipped<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.rcrwireless.com/20121203/opinion/reader-forum-cloud-radio-access-small-cell-networks-based-rapidio|title=Reader Forum: Cloud radio access and small cell networks based on RapidIO|website=www.rcrwireless.com|date=3 December 2012 }}</ref> into wireless base stations worldwide. RapidIO fabrics were originally designed to support connecting different types of processors from different manufacturers together in a single system. This flexibility has driven the widespread use of RapidIO in wireless infrastructure equipment where there is a need to combine heterogeneous, DSP, FPGA and communication processors together in a tightly coupled system with low latency and high reliability.
