Features
COTS
for telecoms use
Commercial-off-the shelf components and software are providing an
alternative in the increasingly competitive telecommunications
sector. Montavista Software explains how Linux is playing its
part.
Extending
the use of GPS to indoor systems
Charles Curry of Chronos Technology explains how you can take GPS to
places where GPS has never been before!
Time
for FlexRay - rapid evaluation from
Fujitsu
Matthias Steeg describes an evaluation kit that has been assembled to
ease the design of systems using the FlexRay standard for networking
components in automotive applications.
The
CCS open standard avionics platform
During the last two decades, avionics system architectures have
evolved considerably, fromfederated through to open and integrated
modular architectures (IMAs), but each evolution has just been a
different way to implement sub-systems and functions into an
airframe. Now, explains Richard Warrilow, with the Boeing 787's
Common Core System (CCS), comes an evolutionary jump in systems
architectures: the provision of an open-standards computing
'platform', where more than 100 functions can be realised in hardware
and software.
The
securing of ad-hoc wireless networks - A case for public-key
cryptography
Mitch Blaser of Certicom describes how networks based on Zigbee and
RFID need security built-in to ensure they are working correctly and
data is sent to and from the correct devices.
