CCww
Success Story
ABSTRACT
Because Nucleus RTOS is proven reliable and allows easy source code modifications – the kernel (along with Nucleus middleware) played a critical role in wireless protocol stack development for CCww.
“Mentor’s embedded tools match our own design philosophy — by maximizing performance, they are easy to use, provide excellent documentation, and support our customers’ code.”
Richard Carter, Managing Director/CEO, CCww
Addressing the complex needs of emerging machine-to-machine (M2M) communications
The exploding growth of cellular and new types of wireless technologies has enabled M2M to advance and become more pervasive than ever. The challenge is how to provide customers with a software stack that can be easily programmed or modified as demands change. CCww’s commitment to its customers requires that it offer leading-edge cellular platforms, reference designs, and ready-to-use modules that can be modified once implemented.
The advantages of Nucleus RTOS
The Nucleus RTOS was a great value to CCww for a number of reasons:
- Performance: Nucleus is a proven and stable OS capable of multi-tasking performance in a fast and efficient manner.
- Footprint: The small size of Nucleus means very low overhead (costs stay low) with no compromise in performance.
- Source code: Nucleus code is well-documented and easy to manage.
Nucleus RTOS well-positioned for the M2M space
Nucleus helped CCww bring its wireless protocol stack to market faster – at a lower cost. With Nucleus, CCww’s customers are assured of a reliable and scalable operating system. Nucleus licensing and Mentor Graphics tech support are also major advantages to CCww and its customers.
“Mentor Graphics provides a reliable and scalable RTOS along with the necessary tool technologies. The company has a good reputation in EDA and in embedded systems.”
Richard Carter, Managing Director/CEO, CCww
