VenturCom Embedded ToolSuite -- ETS -- Provides Clear Communication for Raytheon TI Systems; VenturCom's ETS Provides Uninterrupted Wireless Communication Service.Business/Technology Editors CAMBRIDGE, Mass--(BUSINESS WIRE)--June 29, 2001 VenturCom, Inc. today announced that Raytheon TI Systems (RTIS RTIS Remote Traffic Information System RTIS Raytheon Texas Instruments Systems RTIS Regional Traffic Information Services RTIS Real Time Inventory Status (Java) RTIS Reed Technologies and Information Services ), a manufacturer of wireless network solutions, has integrated VenturCom's real time operating system A master control program that can provide immediate response to input signals and transactions. See real time system and embedded Linux. , the Realtime ETS ETS Educational Testing Service (nonprofit private educational testing and measurement organization) ETS Emergency Telecommunications Service ETS Electronic Trading System ETS Engineering (&) Technical Services Kernel, into a wireless base station alarm monitoring system. The purpose of the monitoring system is to ensure uninterrupted wireless communications service. The RTIS monitoring system shows the status of electrical components in the base station antenna, which alerts the wireless carrier if problems occur with the antenna. If certain modules are not working properly, the system issues either a warning or a severe alarm, depending upon the nature of the problem. "VenturCom's Realtime ETS Kernel plays an integral part in many mission critical situations," said Karl Kinsella, product manager for VenturCom. "The Rayteon TI System is a perfect example of how the Realtime ETS Kernel offers uninterrupted service." VenturCom's ETS featuring Embedded StudioExpress, along with the MicroWeb Server and TCP/IP TCP/IP in full Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol Standard Internet communications protocols that allow digital computers to communicate over long distances. , were used to design the Interface Control Unit (ICU ICU intensive care unit. ICU abbr. intensive care unit ICU see intensive care unit. ICU ) for the system. VenturCom's technology enables HTML HTML in full HyperText Markup Language Markup language derived from SGML that is used to prepare hypertext documents. Relatively easy for nonprogrammers to master, HTML is the language used for documents on the World Wide Web. pages to be generated on-the-fly. Wireless service providers can view these HTML pages through a direct serial connection between a laptop and the ICU using a null-modem cable. About ETS VenturCom's ETS is the complete embedded development environment for Intel's 32-bit x86 processors, featuring a Windows-friendly 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. (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. ), the Realtime ETS Kernel.
