HERNDON, VA – February 8, 2011 – LynuxWorks, Communications Research Centre (CRC), and Objective Interface Systems (OIS) are partnering in an E-cast presentation on next-generation Small Form Factor software defined radios (SDRs).

This event will describe a COTS solution that combines the open standards conformant and secure LynxOS-SE RTOS from Lynuxworks with the high-performance lightweight ORBexpress from OIS and the SCA/SDR framework from CRC. This engineering integration will enable SDR developers to create applications for extremely small form factors with highly constrained size, weight, and power (SWaP) requirements while maintaining full performance and complete backwards compatibility for their existing applications.
