Flander accelerates development of mobile Linux smartphones

Reference design presented at 3GSM in Barcelona

The mobile-software testing and development company Flander develops the
architecture of mobile Linux smartphones. A unique feature of Flander’s
reference design is that it supports several software vendors. The reference
model significantly accelerates the development process and time-to-market
of mobile Linux smartphones as well as reducing associated costs. The
reference design will be presented at 3GSM in Barcelona. 

Flander’s extensive experience in the development and testing of wireless
solutions ensures full combatibility with different components and provides
a delivery quarantee. Flander’s target is to develop a full reference
architecture that can be tailored by mobile phone and OEM vendors for a
variety of products and product families  Flander is now looking for
partners in the development of this full reference architecture.

"Our business is growing strongly and we have a solid position in the
development and testing of mobile software. Linux is becoming an
increasingly important operating system in mobile devices. As an independent
service company and pioneer, we wish to support Linux development and
testing, “ says Mika Heikinheimo, Flander’s CEO. “We have invested in mobile
Linux know-how and our Linux testing is now approaching the level of
widely-recognized Symbian know-how.” 

”Linux offers unique flexibility and cost efficiency in mobile phone
development. Flander’s in-depth expertise in mobile solutions provides an
excellent basis for the integration of Linux-based solutions,” says Tomi
Kankaanpää, Flander’s CTO. ”Also, our testing unit with its advanced
testing-automation solutions quarantees high quality.”

The reference design is based on Texas Instruments OMAP 2 architecture. TI’s
OMAP2420 is one of the market’s top smartphone processers. The solution
consists of a Montavista Linux CEE (Consumer Electronics Edition 3.1) kernel
and a Trolltech Qtopia user interface. Integrated on top of this are Java
and multimedia features, together with other third-party software components
in the future.

Flander will be presenting its Linux reference design and testing concepts
at 3GSM in Barcelona (13-16 February 2006). To arrange an appointment,
