EMBEDnet integrates IrDA based IrPro with US Softwares RTOS and TCP/IP products

EMBEDnet Inc. announces its stategic partnership with US Software Corporation. "Today, more than ever, companies need reliable and convenient access to complex technology to launch their embedded products into the market place. EMBEDnet’s venture with US Software will ensure that both company’s software components are integrated and pretested before they reach the customer stated Bob Gastineau, founder and co-owner of EMBEDnet. Additionally, with a turn-key reference solution that integrates IrDA infrared communications, RTOS, DOS file system, and TCP/IP technology, developers will be poised for success".

"This partnership is about providing a reliable package that has been carefully designed and tested, along with technical services. This is our commitment to our customers." said Tomoyuki Uda, Asia Pacific Manager for US Software. "With the increasing demand for IrDA in the embedded industry, it is our mission to integrate a low-level interface between an RTOS suite and IrDA so that developers can focus more on their application and shorten the time to market significantly."

Both companies target high volume markets like smart phones, Personal Digital Assistants (PDA), digital cameras, palmtop computers, and hand held devices, as well as, medical diagnostic devices, printers, storage devices, pagers, watches, and data collection devices.
