LynuxWorks announced that it is working with Wabtec Corporation on a technology-based product for the rail industry. Wabtec, which manufactures a wide range of products for the rail and transit industry, selected LynuxWorks' industry-leading real-time operating system (RTOS) products because of the company's strong reputation for providing reliable platforms based on strict adherence to open standards.

LynuxWorks has more than 20 years experience. Unlike competitive offerings, LynuxWorks' embedded RTOS are based on open standards, and are employed again and again in critical products made for markets including communications, aerospace and defense, transit, medical and automotive. LynuxWorks operating systems are designed to fulfill customer requirements for hard real-time performance and open standards, and they help developers optimize designs, reduce development time and costs and get critical products to market ahead of the competition.

 "Time and again, LynuxWorks' customers like Wabtec select our products because of our unwavering adherence to open standards such as Linux, POSIX and Eclipse," said Robert Day, VP Marketing, LynuxWorks. "Our products speak for themselves, proving themselves daily in mission-critical environments in which failure is not an option."
