Swedish telecommunications and device software specialist Enea has moved its US office from Phoenix to San Jose. The company's new US office, located in heart of “Silicon Valley,” will provide marketing, sales, technical support, and professional services. Enea claims its embedded software ships in half of all new mobile phones and base stations.

Enea claims to be the world's leading supplier of real-time operating systems, middleware, development tools, database technology, and services for high-availability distributed multiprocessing applications such as telecommunications infrastructure, mobile devices, medical instrumentation, and automobile control/infotainment. Its flagship “OSE” RTOS (real-time OS) is deployed in “50 percent of the world's new mobile phones and base stations,” it says.

Enea described itself as the world's number two telecom OS provider in 2004, when it adopted an agressive Linux strategy based around its Orchestra middleware, which lets OSE interoperate with Linux in multi-processor carrier class systems. Then-leading telecom OS provider Wind River shipped similar VxWorks-Linux middleware about six months later.

Enea additionally claims to have the high-availability RTOS industry's largest professional engineering and consulting corps, with 300 engineers in the US, Europe, and Asia. The company was founded in 1968, and its corporate headquarters are in Kista, Sweden.

Virginia Walker, president of Enea's North American operations, stated, “Enea has many customers and partners in Silicon Valley. It only makes sense to relocate our North American headquarters to the capital of the high tech world.”
