Description

Wind River, a wholly owned subsidiary of Intel Corporation (NASDAQ: INTC), is a world leader in embedded and mobile software. Wind River has been pioneering computing inside embedded devices since 1981 and its technology is found in more than 500 million products.

As devices become smarter, they have more impact on the way we work, play, and live—from mobile phones that have evolved into always-on content delivery platforms, to medical devices that seamlessly integrate with patient management systems, to avionics and defense systems that enable pinpoint control and unparalleled safety. The challenge for developers is to keep the innovation flowing so that devices continue to get faster, more reliable, and more secure, while remaining affordable.

Wind River has the answer. A leader in embedded and mobile software, Wind River offers the industry’s most comprehensive device development portfolio. Our solutions are hardware-agnostic, so you can deploy on multiple architectures, including Intel, Freescale, PowerPC, ARM, MIPS, and others. And our products are supported by outstanding professional services and customer support, hardware integration expertise, and a thriving partner ecosystem.

That’s why Wind River’s technology is found in more than 500 million products. We’re uniquely qualified to help you master the challenges of building smart, connected devices.
