Netas Selects Green Hills Software for its Router and Switch Communications Products
Green Hills Software has announced that its INTEGRITY real-time operating system and MULTI integrated development environment are being used by Netas in the company’s communications switch and router products targeted for use in harsh tactical environments. Netas, Turkey’s leading telecommunications infrastructure provider and systems integrator, deploys best-of-breed networks and telecom solutions to organizations including Turk Telekom and the Turkish Armed Forces.
The The INTEGRITY RTOS runs on Freescale PowerQUICC II MPC8280 and PowerQUICC III MPC8560 integrated communications processors and manages all the switching functions within the CAS and MSSR. Commenting on the selection process, Omer Aydin, Director of Defense Product Solutions, Netas, said: “We embarked on an extensive technical investigation into embedded operating systems and selected INTEGRITY due to its ability to provide virtual memory management, deterministic real-time performance and its supporting ecosystem of integrated debugging tools. Interrupts generated by data path hardware must be serviced in real time in order to provide wire-speed switching; the INTEGRITY high-performance kernel enabled us to achieve this. The MULTI development environment allowed rapid development and reduced our time-to-market.”
Christopher Smith, vice president marketing, Green Hills Software, said, “The Netas engineering team is highly experienced in the use of real-time operating systems and determined that our field-proven INTEGRITY RTOS was the most effective solution for its product development demands. Green Hills Software is pleased to have been selected as the best solution.”
