Aerospace & Defense

The cost pressure on Aerospace & Defence manufacturers has grown tremendously. So software components reusability, untangling integration complexity and easy to handle after sales updates and upgrades are major tasks for these industries. These issues are always combined with aspects of safety, security and certification. Using commercial off the shelf platforms will help leverage these tasks.   Read more

 Automotive & Transportation

Looking at the new connectivity and feature requirements for modern automobiles, the average number of electronic platforms used in today's models is increasing dramatically. The integration complexity has become a major task and major point of failure. Reducing this complexity through advanced software technology will lead the new developments of the R&D labs of the car manufacturers and their major tier-one suppliers.   Read more

 Industrial Automation & Medical

Product life-cycles in the industrial automation and medical market are likely to exceed 10 years. These life-cycles don´t fit to the very limited delivery guarantees from the semiconductor industry. So hardware obsolescence is a major issue. One solution to that issue is an extended use base new applications on open-standards to minimize the hardware dependency and therefore ease the software reusability and secure former investments.   Read more

 Network Infrastructure

The connectivity requirements of our modern world are still rising and so is the need for more complex and more reliable network infrastructure. The reliability of the wireless router at home gets as important as the nearest UMTS base station since wireless IP telephony steps ahead. And not only the reliability of these devices is important, also their security mechanisms, securing personal data which is send throughout all networks all the time.   Read more

 Consumer Electronic

The convergence of consumer electronic functionality is leading this industry. A cellular phone today combines functionalities of a MP3 player, a camera, a PDA and, of course, a mobile phone. Every consumer device is becoming a multi-media, multi-connectivity and multi-functional device. And still the tough and large competitor landscape is putting a lot of pressure on cost-effective innovations.   Read more
