San Jose, CA — (press release excerpt) — LynuxWorks today announced support for the specifications of the Open Source Development Lab's Carrier Grade Linux specification (CGL) v1.0. LynuxWorks also announced plans to integrate the feature set of CGL v1.0 into next-generation versions of LynuxWorks' embedded Linux operating system, BlueCat Linux, in early 2003. In doing so, LynuxWorks intends to deliver higher availability, security enhancements and new standards for the Linux kernel for vendors in the telecommunications market, such as telephone equipment manufacturers.

With support of the CGL specifications, BlueCat will become a key tool for communications service providers addressing new challenges in network architecture, bandwidth, security, and performance. BlueCat is an enhanced implementation of the Linux model, packaging the flexibility and cost benefits of open-source software with the stable construction of a commercial-grade embedded operating system. The result is a dependable product from an ISO 9001-certified company, with a comprehensive set of commercial-quality tools and board-support packages that will allow developers to deploy Linux into virtually any embedded environment.
