Wireless Design & Development   Linux Eases Development of
Advanced Capabilities for Smart Wireless Devices Mon, 06/16/2008
- 10:52am From a designer's point of view, managing the
integration of smart wireless devices while maintaining time to
market schedules and project budgets can be a challenge.  Unlike
the low-cost cell phone market, where products boast few bells
and whistles beyond the ability to make and receive calls, smart
wireless devices are all about features. From the user’s point
of view, carrying a single device that does everything on the
road is much better than having to carry multiple devices and
manage synchronizations. A designer of a smart wireless device
has a much different perspective. Managing the integration of
today’s complex devices while maintaining time-to-market
schedules and project budgets can be quite challenging for even
the most seasoned engineering teams.  The use of Linux as an
operating system (OS) in the server market has proliferated
because of its modular extensibil
