Intrinsyc Signs Soleus Licensing Agreement with ODM for Industrial PDA and LBS Phone

(Business News & Technology News, 5 Jan 2009)

Intrinsyc Software International Inc. has signed a Soleus license agreement with one of the world's largest Original Design Manufacturers (ODM) of computers and consumer electronics devices, which will use the Soleus software platform to develop of two distinctly different wireless devices—a handheld barcode-reading payment device, and a mobile phone capable of delivering location-based services (LBS). The device maker will also employ Intrinsyc Solutions Engineering services to aid in the development of these products.

The first device is an industrial-strength handheld for a payment system provider. The device features a 3.5in screen, handwriting capture, and 1D/2D barcode recognition. Intrinsyc will work with its customer to integrate Soleus version 1.5 and a Windows Embedded CE 6.0 Board Support Package (BSP) into the platform, and develop custom APIs extending the functionality of the telephony stack. Using the robust Soleus toolset, the device maker will develop the Phone Driver Module (PDM) and the Wi-Fi plug-in for the Soleus Network Connections Manager (NCM), which also supports Bluetooth and cellular communications.

The second device is a mobile phone slated for deployment by a provider of location-based services to a major wireless carrier in the U.S. market. Based on Windows Embedded CE 5.0, the handset features a 3.5-inch WQVGA screen with dynamic orientation, WiFi communications, built-in GPS module, camera, and HTML browser. Intrinsyc's Solutions Engineering group will integrate Soleus version 1.5 and develop the PDM for this device.
