Wind River (News - Alert) officials are saying they have packaged Android expertise and technologies into what company officials describe as “three specialized software offerings -- user experience, connectivity and medical modules.”

The modular nature of the offerings, they say, “gives developers flexibility to pick and choose software components to fill in gaps in expertise and instantly integrate complex, differentiating features.”

Wind River produces embedded and mobile software. The company bills their Wind River Solution Accelerators for Android (News - Alert) offerings as a series of software modules to “help developers jump-start their Android development and integrate features and functionalities to their devices.”

Chris Buerger, senior director of product management and marketing for Android software at Wind River, said "fast-paced technology release cycles and intense competitive pressures have created incredibly tight market deadlines and the demand to create differentiating features, while staying on budget, continues to increase.”

The three modules are:

User experience. Accelerated boot time technologies including Hyper boot enabling devices to resume from RAM (News - Alert) in less than 1 second and from Flash in 8 seconds, multi-windowing screen navigation, multimedia functionalities and a firmware management system that supports both online and offline update methods.

Connectivity. Multimedia interoperability capabilities via the DLNA standard, SyncML support and FM radio capabilities.

Medical. Designed to help medical device manufacturers leverage Android's platform richness and flexibility for innovation, this module supports the IEEE (News - Alert) 11073 stack, the format for information exchange between personal health devices such as weight scales, blood pressure monitors and blood oxygen monitors. The module also includes an optimized Bluetooth Health Device Protocol implementation and applications for medical sensor management and resulting data display, reporting and communication.

"Wind River is taking its wealth of Android knowledge and providing a catalog of powerful Android solution accelerators that developers can immediately draw from and customize to their individual device development needs,” Buerger said.
