NextHop Technologies Inc announced that its GateD routing source code is available on the WIND RIVER PLATFORM for Network Equipment (Platform NE) from Wind River Systems Inc, a worldwide market leader in embedded software and services.

Adding GateD routing software to Platform NE meets the routing needs required to handle the exploding growth of information and data traveling on the Internet for telecommunications and network equipment manufacturers in multiple market segments, including Asia-Pacific OEMs/ODMs (original equipment manufacturers/original designers and manufacturers), enterprise networks, SOHO (small office/home office) and security appliances. Wind River's Platform NE is the world's only embedded software platform optimized for the network equipment market.

"We are extremely pleased to be working with Wind River to offer customers this reliable, cost effective solution. NextHop continues to look for ways to best help customers meet the critical routing requirements of next-generation networks and we see this as a strong fit for a variety of market segments," states Dennis Tsu, vice president marketing and sales for NextHop.

Wind River's Platform NE pre-integrates world-class development tools, the industry's most reliable real time operating system (RTOS), the most widely deployed management protocols, the fastest routing stack, networking protocols, reference hardware, and professional services into one integrated package tailored to network equipment manufacturers. The result: network equipment manufacturers reduce project risk, increase focus on product differentiation, improve time to market, and reduce software integration and testing effort.

"Integrating Wind River's Platform NE, the world's only embedded software platform optimized for the network equipment market, with NextHop's proven and reliable GateD 10.2 routing software offers network equipment manufacturers a complete off-the-shelf networking software solution," states Graeme Harfman, Platform NE product manager for Wind River Systems.
