"We are confident that Parthus clients will find our embedded software Instructions that permanently reside in a ROM or flash memory chip. Embedded software may be immediately available to the CPU or, for faster execution, may be transferred to RAM first and then executed. fully integrated into a platform that was designed to dramatically reduce development costs, accelerate time to market and speed ROI (Return On Investment) The monetary benefits derived from having spent money on developing or revising a system. In the IT world, there are more ways to compute ROI than Carter has liver pills (and for those of you who never heard of that expression, it means a lot). -- the key elements to success in today's highly competitive market place." Parthus' InfoStream Platform Parthus' InfoStream is a highly advanced hardware and software mobile computing Using a computing device while in transit. Mobile computing implies wireless transmission, but wireless transmission does not necessarily imply mobile computing. Fixed wireless applications use satellites, radio systems and lasers to transmit between permanent objects such as buildings platform targeted at a wide variety of new generation smart connected devices. InfoStream leads the industry in the combination of raw processing power, power consumption requirements and levels of on-chip integration. The platform enables device manufacturers to drastically reduce time to market, enhance ROI and reduce risk for highly-featured Mobile-Internet device developments. InfoStream is optimized for running a number of Operating Systems including Symbian OS An open standard operating system for data-enabled mobile phones (smartphones) from Symbian Ltd., London (www.symbian.com). It supports Java, PC synchronization, Bluetooth local wireless access and GPRS packet-switched data. , Microsoft WinCE Stinger and PocketPC, as well as Palm OS and Embedded Linux The Linux operating system configured and enhanced to work in a wide variety of applications, including handheld devices, network appliances, industrial machines and consumer electronics devices. The modularity of the Linux kernel makes it well suited to embedded systems. .
