Socket Expands Mobile Operating Systems for WLAN Products

Socket Communications, Inc. has announced it is working with third party OS Development Partners to expand the operating system for its WLAN product line. The Socket OS Development Partner Program is focused on expanding the markets for Socket's WLAN hardware and software products. Current OS Development Partners include:

- Codetelligence:
Codetelligence's Embedded SDIO technology consists of a collection of system software components and tools supporting SD Memory and SDIO card peripherals on embedded systems. The software components are based on Codetelligence's proprietary Embedded SDIO Stack architecture. Codetelligence fully supports Socket's SDIO WLAN cards for Linux (2.6.x, 2.4.x).

- embWiSe:
embWiSe offers a proprietary embedded SDIO software stack framework called SDIOWorx for Linux, ThreadX and uITRON for enabling device vendors, semicon, SDIO client chipset/card vendors to develop SDIO drivers/functionality in their designs. The SDIOWorx enables the developers to reduce their engineering lead-time and thus Time-to-Market. embWiSe supports Socket's WLAN cards on their SDIOWorx stack framework under variants of LinuxOS and ThreadX RTOS.

- Visuality Systems:
Visuality Systems offers CIFS NQ (Network Quick) Client/Server middleware which provides a practical, simple to implement and quick to market solution through integration of the Microsoft CIFS client/server capabilities into the VxWorks, INTEGRITY, velOSity, ThreadX, Embedded Linux and other embedded real time operating systems. Visuality fully supports Socket's WLAN cards for its CIFS NQ middleware.
