MICROSOCKETS Enters Windows Embedded Partner Program

MicroSockets has joined the Windows Embedded Partner Program, following the leadership of Freescale with a commitment to provide development consulting and support for the i.MX platform on Microsoft Windows CE.

In conjunction with the 2008 Freescale Technology Forum, Microsoft and Freescale have combined resources to deliver the embedded technology platform for development of next generation consumer, industrial and general embedded products. As a Freescale Design Alliance Partner, MicroSockets provides consulting and design services to support the adoption of Windows CE on i.MX for new product development.

Additional information regarding the announcement is available on the Freescale web site.

With a strong portfolio of both embedded and Windows development experience, MicroSockets provides expertise in both traditional embedded systems development in addition to the skills specific to the Windows CE platform.

"Freescale has delivered a compelling platform with the i.MX31," said Michael Terry, President of MicroSockets. "Our customers are looking for a base to deliver their next generation products and these applications require rich user interfaces, accelerated graphics, video and above all, connectivity. The combination of i.MX horsepower and the Windows platform enables MicroSockets to build cutting-edge consumer products at remarkably low development and production costs."

"Windows CE allows us bring the software engineering resources of our parent organization to bear on high-end embedded development projects. Our participation in the Windows Embedded Partner program complements our strategy of delivering firmware on the appropriate platform, from 8 to 64 bits."

MicroSockets has also developed relationships with regional digital hardware design firms and contract manufacturers to support end-to-end product development for industrial, medical, military/aerospace and consumer applications.
