25 Ways QNX Touches Your Life|
QNX Introduces New Web Services Framework for Embedded Applications QNX Software Systems introduced early April a new framework that enables standards-based web services for embedded systems. Designed for inter-application communication without human intervention, web services technology enables access to any type of service, over any type of transport, on any type of platform, while using any type of programming language. The new QNX web services software development kit (SDK) offers embedded developers the ability to implement WSDL, SOAP, and XML-based web service applications in native C/C++, hiding the complexity of XML and protocol transformations from the developer.

Solid Information Technology, the supplier of choice for embedded data management in devices that deliver IP-based services like Voice over IP (VoIP), Push to Talk, Media Gateways, and other high-availability network infrastructure components, announced its data management platform has been ported to the QNX® Neutrino® realtime operating system (RTOS). The integration of the QNX Neutrino RTOS v6.3 with Solid's most advanced version of the BoostEngine 4.2x data management platform provides networking and communications developers and original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) with an off-the-shelf, highly available (HA) data management system that dramatically accelerates system development and time-to-market and reduces total-cost-of-ownership.
