Tel: (949) 833-9679 ext. 133 E-mail: dyee@redsonic.com FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE REDSonic to Demonstrate its Compatibility with the Industrial Control and Automation Industry at ISA SANTA ANA, Calif., - September 5, 2001 - REDSonic, Inc., a leader in real-time Linux solutions for the embedded market, today announced it will be exhibiting at the upcoming Instrumentation, Systems and Automation (ISA) Conference in Houston, Texas from September 10-13, 2001. REDSonic is expanding into the industrial control and automation market, as seen by its recent partnership with Red Flag to offer REDSonic's real-time Linux solutions for the industrial control market in China. The company sees its technology as ideal for automation projects because of the level of predictability automation and control systems require. "REDICE-Linux™, our real-time Linux kernel, not only provides the predictable and deterministic behavior that these projects demand, but it also delivers a flexible scheduling framework," commented Andrew Chen, CTO at REDSonic. REDSonic is branching out into the control automation industry also because of the fact that many control automation systems are embedded systems. "We concentrate on the embedded market, and are able to provide top-of-the-line development tools, support, and embedded system expertise to organizations for their specific projects," stated Chen. At ISA, REDSonic will be showing the four new demonstrations that debuted at LinuxWorld Expo and Conference in San Francisco in August. These four new demonstrations are REDSonic's newest products and are as follows: · Secure SOHO - REDSonic's new gateway and firewall software, designed to protect individual systems and local area networks that connect to the public Internet via a single connection · LinuxBIOS - ROM-based Linux kernel that replaces legacy BIOS code for reliable, secure, fast boot, and rapid power-on solutions; ideal for systems that require instant-on and instant-shutdown capabilities that are common in many automation applications · REDSonic PowerPC (MPC 823) Starter Kit - Demonstrates predictable and controlled CPU resource allocation with rate monotonic scheduling in the REDICE-Linux SDK on the new low cost PowerPC 823 starter SBC kit · Windows-Based Terminal (WBT) - Provides thin-client Linux-based access to Microsoft® Windows® applications and services and lowers total cost of management and ownership; ideal for application service providers (ASPs), telecommuting, remote login and administration REDSonic will also demonstrate new features for RED-Builder™, the company's easy-to-use graphical tool that enables developers to customize, configure, and build embedded systems. "The platform editor, one of the new RED-Builder features, gives developers the ability to build their own applications on any board, making RED-Builder one of the most user-friendly embedded Linux tools on the market today," commented Chen.
