Accelerated Technology's Nucleus PLUS Integrated Into LANart's SegWay Adaptive Microsegmentable Hub--TM--.MOBILE, Ala.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--June 12, 1998--Accelerated Technology, Inc., the leader of source code and non-royalty based Real-Time Operating System (operating system) Real-Time Operating System - (RTOS) Any operating system where interrupts are guaranteed to be handled within a certain specified maximum time, thereby making it suitable for control of hardware in embedded systems and other time-critical applications. products, announces the selection of Nucleus PLUS by LANart Corporation, the leader in optimizing fiber and twisted pair A thin-diameter wire (22 to 26 gauge) commonly used for telephone and network cabling. The wires are twisted around each other to minimize interference from other twisted pairs in the cable (Alexander Graham Bell invented this and was awarded a patent for it in 1881). LAN (Local Area Network) A communications network that serves users within a confined geographical area. The "clients" are the user's workstations typically running Windows, although Mac and Linux clients are also used. connectivity solutions across the network, as their complete RTOS (1) (RealTime Operating System) An operating system designed for use in a real time computer system. See real time system, embedded system, process control and OS-9. solution. LANart has implemented Nucleus PLUS in their flagship product A primary product of a company, which is typically why the company was founded and/or what made it well known. For example, MS-DOS, Windows and the Microsoft Office suite have been flagship products of Microsoft. CorelDRAW is a flagship product of Corel Corporation. , the SegWay Port Switch, a microsegmentable port switching hub An intelligent network hub that attaches to multiple LAN segments. Via software, it allows the station ports to be connected to one of the segments. This is a type of virtual LAN, because one LAN segment can be located on different floors or geographic locations. that offers sophisticated desktop switching and virtual networking capabilities. Providing a rich set of operating system operating system (OS) Software that controls the operation of a computer, directs the input and output of data, keeps track of files, and controls the processing of computer programs. services, Accelerated Technology's Nucleus PLUS RTOS enables easy migration of existing applications, simplifying and shortening costly development time due to well-documented source code and the security of controlling that code. As a cost-effective solution for high-volume product development, LANart is currently designing a new LAN switching
LAN switching is a form of packet switching used in local area networks. Switching technologies are crucial to network design, or to that minority of LANs that are used outside the home. product based on the Nucleus PLUS RTOS. "What we like most about Nucleus PLUS is the source code, no royalty policy. Because we produce high-volume products, paying royalty fees was not an option we were willing to take. And supplying the source code allowed the control our engineers needed to develop their applications and get them to market quickly," said Tavit Ohanian, Software Engineering Manager, LANart Corporation. "LANart has been a long standing customer of ours and has produced other LAN products that we are proud to be involved with. It is always exciting to me to see customers happy about our no royalty, source code model. It is a way that we can provide a special service above and beyond that of our competitors. Since we continue to be profitable with this business model, we are proving that charging royalties only hurts customers and makes our competitors pockets bigger. We are changing the way embedded software is being sold and we are very proud to be at the forefront," said Neil Henderson, President of Accelerated Technology, Inc. Utilizing port switching and dynamic load balancing technologies, the SegWay Adaptive Microsegmentable Hub(TM) distributes bandwidth intelligently, balancing traffic loads for workgroups, power users and servers--all within an existing infrastructure of switches and routers. Licenses for Nucleus PLUS range from $7,495 to $12,495. Accelerated Technology, Inc. provides the embedded systems community with source code and non-royalty based Real-Time Operating System (RTOS) products.
