Chelmsford, MA — (press release) — Axis Communications has formed a new division chartered to assist OEMs in designing with Axis' highly integrated system-on-chip products and associated embedded Linux software. Axis products target new product concepts for network peripherals and emerging mobile devices. The new Axis Technology Division will provide engineering resources and development tools, including reference designs, evaluation boards, source code, documentation and technical support.

Peter Ragnarsson, Axis Communications president and CEO, said “Axis has a rich history as an OEM provider, with many leading companies expressing tremendous interest in our core technologies for their own product development,” said “We will equip these OEMs with significant time-to-market advantages, by providing innovative solutions based on our expertise in integrating systems-on-a-chip technology and open-source embedded software.”

Ragnarsson, who was appointed president and CEO last month, is positioning Axis to expand on its global leadership in network connectivity and be a trailblazer in the emerging wireless and mobile communications markets. Earlier this year, Axis formed their Mobile Internet Division to develop and market products and services that take advantage of new technologies, such as Bluetooth wireless technology.

More information about OEM developer offerings from the Axis Technology Division is available at the Axis Developer site, at developer.axis.com.
