Rappore Technologies Ports Bluetooth Protocol Stack to BlueCat Embedded Linux
URL(s): Rappore
SAN JOSE, Calif.--Feb. 5, 2001-- Rappore Technologies(TM), Inc., a
champion of "wirefree"(TM) communications, and LynuxWorks, Inc., announced
today that they have ported Rappore's Bluetooth(TM) technology to LynuxWorks'
BlueCat(TM) embedded Linux(TM). Furthermore, Rappore has joined the
LynuxWorks SynergyWorks(TM) alliance program and is the first Bluetooth
technology company to join.
Rappore's bulletproof Bluetooth protocol stack, which adheres to the
Bluetooth 1.1 specification, enhances the BlueCat Linux operating system with
Bluetooth wireless capabilities. Joint development will enable wireless
connectivity for embedded devices such as personal digital assistants (PDAs),
portable office equipment, automotive computing, cellular phones, digital
cameras, medical equipment, industrial automation products, or any OEM
embedded application that requires an embedded Linux operating system and
Bluetooth radio connectivity.
Security considerations are significant factors for both embedded Linux
and Bluetooth technology. Rappore asserts that true security should be
"people-based" instead of simple device-level security. This approach is
necessary to establish accountability to people in a wirefree environment.
Rappore's Bluetooth security dovetails with embedded Linux security features
while complying with current Bluetooth security standards.
"Rappore's technology and seasoned engineering organization complement our
BlueCat Linux and professional services organization," said Dr. Inder Singh,
CEO and Chairman of LynuxWorks. "Our SynergyWorks alliance provided the
framework for cooperation and co-development with Rappore to meet the OEM
market's need for embedded Linux solutions with wireless functionality."
"LynuxWorks has always been a pioneer in developing technology that meets
the most demanding customer requirements," said Dr. William Hogan, President
and CEO of Rappore Technologies. "With Bluetooth implemented on BlueCat
Linux, customers will benefit from shortened development cycles and ultimately
have a time-to-market advantage in the competitive wireless products market."
Rappore demonstrated their wireless capabilities using their Bluetooth
technology and LynuxWorks' BlueCat Linux at the LinuxWorld Exposition, in the
LynuxWorks booth.
