Full JTRS Radio System Ported to Android™
with ORBexpress® Taking advantage of commercial small form factors, like Android™ handsets and tablets, is the next step in the evolution of Joint Tactical Radio System (JTRS) radios. Working with OIS, Communications Research Centre Canada (CRC) ported an entire JTRS-based radio application, including core framework and waveforms, to an Android handset. CRC successfully ported an AM waveform, an FM waveform and an APCO P25 waveform to the Android device. By using ORBexpress for Android, CRC accomplished the entire port of the complete radio system, including waveforms, in just one day, with zero source code modifications. Using ORBexpress enabled CRC to take full advantage of their previous investment in software-defined radio and reuse their unchanged code in a new hardware/software platform. One day. Zero code changes. The full radio system including framework and waveforms ran seamlessly while achieving long battery life on the ARM processor. CRC used the ORBexpress middleware abstraction for all interprocess communications to make moving their SCA-based radio system to new form factors and new operating systems fast and easy.

| What They're Saying About OIS |
“The SCA uses CORBA and POSIX to create a highly portable and efficient architecture.....And because ORBexpress is the smallest and fastest real-time communications infrastructure available, capable of porting to a wide range of operating systems and processor architectures, it became incredibly easy to port a complete radio system quickly and efficiently to a brand new platform like Android.”
