Why We Uniquely Qualify to Be Your Supplier

As a complete and open source platform, Android has changed the way devices are developed. The innovation rate is extraordinary, but with no software supplier accountable for product delivery, open source Android introduces delivery risk to manufacturers who are building mobile devices based on it.

Wind River's solution adds predictability to the software delivery process without stifling the innovation rate that has made the open source approach so attractive. Wind River creates commercial platforms that drive rapid development and device validation to accelerate and ensure time-to-market for Linux-based mobile devices.

A commercial platform approach is the only way to ensure an optimized return on investment for strategic product development. Pure systems integrators provide point-in-time distributions, while Wind River's commercial platform represents a continuous investment in Android, providing a consistent platform from which to plan and build a complete product line.

Only Wind River can deliver a verified platform that is continually updated and pre-integrated with select partner components and offer worldwide support for your Android success.
