A2TECH and AppServer Solutions Sign Joint Development Agreement.
Peschiera d/G, Italy. -- Advanced Aviation Technology - A2TECH, the italian
center of excellence in the field of design and development of unmanned vehicle
avionic and electronics driven by CANaerospace, and AppServer Solutions
announced today the formation of a strategic alliance to position both companies
to capture next generation unmanned and manned airborne video digital signal
processing products. A2TECH' industry leading products coupled with AppServer's
FPGA embedded algorithmic solutions technology means A2TECH is taking aggressive
steps to provide customers with even greater performance onboard and ground
video processing that can only be enabled by the most modern FPGA computing
systems.
Commenting on the teaming agreement, Jarno Puff, R&D Director, A2TECH said,
"The agreement marks the start of a new relationship that promises to position
us to provide the most compelling and comprehensive video processing solutions
to our customers. We have been working with AppServer Solutions for over a year,
and we're looking forward to continuing a long and successful relationship with
them."
Airborne video customers demand higher real-time performance processing
systems using embedded systems instead of PC-based solutions. PC-based video
processing systems affects on reliability and eventually fails. A2TECH has
recognized this trend, and recognizes that the AppServer's FPGA embedded
algorithmic solutions technology provides a unique modular embedded solution for
the next generation of real-time video processing products, resulting in a sharp
competitive edge.
Marina Murzina, CTO and an Executive member of the Board of Directors of
Appserver Solutions said, "We are very excited about the opportunity to work
with such a recognized leader as A2TECH. Their commitment further illustrates
industry's adoption of our enabling products."
The two companies are targeting a number of products and programs in both the
military and commercial markets. Their first jointly developed solution is
expected to be completed by mid 2008 under the italian civil defence project
"Emergency Image Transfer System - EITS".
