Pulse~Link 

Pulse~Link , Common Platform Solution   WPAN, WLAN and WAN functionality
      with operating modes for peer-to-peer, point-multipoint, synchronized and mesh networking
      - within the Medium Access Control (MAC) of the same microchip.

To ensure ease of adoption of our CPS within existing standards and familiarity, our CPS  fundamentally follows the well-known and heavily followed Open Systems Interconnect (OSI)  Model. The OSI model defines a networking framework for implementing protocols that OEM's and network engineers are readily familiar with. The CPS operating system will use VxWorks, the number-one real-time embedded operating system. For interoperability and  ad-hoc networking, existing platforms such as Sun Microsystems' Java and Jini (embraced by  the Open Systems Gateway Initiative, see www.osgi.org), the HAVI specification, and/or Microsoft's .NET are available to define distributed computing functions. Transport  switching and routing protocol is TCP/IPv6 - that used by the Internet. 
 
 
 

Wireless Goes Wide
