Software-Defined Radio Product Suite For Developers Introduced

Boston -- PrismTech announced the release of Spectra 2, a complete package of new products, services, partner programs, and development tools for Software Defined Radio (SDR) OEMs, system integrators, and independent software vendors. Built upon the success of the company's original Spectra products, Spectra 2 addresses the growth and deployment of SDR by providing the industry with a comprehensive customer service-focused product line.

Through Spectra 2, PrismTech provides a ‘total customer service' package that includes waveform and platform developer tools, high performance and low profile operating environments, full compliance support for SDR standards, expert professional services for all phases of SDR development and deployment, and dynamic OEM, SI, and ISV partner programs and customer references. Spectra 2 solutions support the Software Communications Architecture (SCA) 2.2 and 2.2.2, as well as the OMG's Software Radio Specification.

"Our goal is to provide ‘total customer service' to our SDR users to help them focus on their core business of building and selling radios," said Dominick Paniscotti, vice president of engineering, SDR products, PrismTech. "Building SDRs should not be a software nightmare or involve juggling multiple vendors. With Spectra 2, PrismTech can lower the risk, cost, and time-to-market for SDR businesses."

PrismTech's growing customer base includes numerous Fortune 500 companies and SDR OEMs and defense prime contractors worldwide, including ITT Corporation, Boeing, Thales, Selex Communications, and Indra. Most recently, Rockwell Collins announced that it will bundle its FlexNet-Four Radio with PrismTech's Spectra SDR products.

This ‘total customer service' capability is unique within the SDR community where many vendors offer generic IT development tools or focus on just a specific piece of an SDR solution. By providing best-in-class complete SDR products, supported by professional services from SDR implementation experts, and complemented by unique partner programs and industry references, PrismTech can support SDR initiatives all the way from conceptual design to channel marketing and sales.

"Spectra 2 represents the validation of the COTS SDR market by SDR developers and the establishment of PrismTech's solution as the leading COTS implementation of the SCA. With the combination of our ‘total customer service' effort and the depth and quality of our customer base, Spectra 2 is well positioned to serve as the industry's reference implementation for COTS SDR," explained Paniscotti.

PrismTech will demonstrate the capabilities of Spectra 2 at the upcoming MILCOM 2007 conference, SDR Forum's Technical Conference & Product Exposition, and the 2007 Software Defined Radio Europe Conference.
