Montavista




To have such advanced features running simultaneously, without failing and without costing the mobile operator money in downtime, you need an absolutely solid platform. That's what you get with MontaVista Linux, with the added benefit that you can modify the kernel at will to optimise applications ported from application developers and other mobile operators.

Global Center of Linux Intellectual Capital

MontaVista has established itself as the leading global provider of intellectual capital for Linux on intelligent devices. Customers are increasingly turning to MontaVista because it provides not only a world-class Linux platform, but an entire Linux solution offering: a commercial quality OS, development tools, maintenance and support, an ecosystem of over 400 partners, design services, migration support, and access to MontaVista's complete board farm for the testing of Linux.

Widest Deployments of Linux on Intelligent Devices

Each year the Linux market for intelligent devices grows exponentially, as companies demand more flexibility and faster time to market than proprietary RTOSs and customized build-your-own Linux distributions can offer. With offerings tailored to a wide variety of consumer electronics and mobile devices, and even carrier-grade environments, MontaVista offers the most comprehensive range of development platforms for intelligent device developers. And with MontaVista currently powering over 40 million devices around the world, and used by four of the top five network equipment providers (NEPs), MontaVista is far and away the leading provider of commercial grade Linux.

Combines Benefits of Open Source and Proprietary Platforms

Unlike "assemble-your-own" open source development platforms, which require a significant investment in developer manpower and can add months to a product's go-to-market timeline, MontaVista Linux enables development teams to get up and running on a world-class platform quickly and easily. And unlike proprietary solutions in which development teams have little or no control over their development features and functionality, MontaVista's Linux-based offerings enable developers to customize their environment to their specific requirements.
