News & PressGreen Hills Software and Stollmann Unveil Bluetooth & NFC Solutions Medical, secure access & mobile payment applications targeted SANTA BARBARA, CA - March 3, 2009 — Green Hills Software, Inc., the world leader in secure operating systems, has announced an agreement with Stollmann E+V GmbH, a leading developer of communication protocol software, to supply Bluetooth and Near Field Communication (NFC) solutions. The first result of the agreement, which will be demonstrated at Embedded World 09 in Nuremberg (3-5 March), is the NFC profile for the INTEGRITY® real-time operating system (RTOS). This will provide support for NFC-enabled devices in contactless secure access and mobile payment applications. In addition to the NFC profile, Green Hills Software and Stollmann are also cooperating on a Bluetooth Health Device Profile (HDP) for INTEGRITY. This will enable developers of medical applications to design in line with the standards of the Bluetooth Special Interest Group (SIG) quickly and efficiently, ensuring interoperability with other medical devices worldwide. The combination of Green Hills Software's secure INTEGRITY RTOS and kernel-aware development toolchain with Stollmann's standards-compliant protocol stacks provides embedded software engineers with a complete development environment for localized wireless applications. Bluetooth profiles define how different applications use Bluetooth wireless technology to set up a connection and exchange data. The Bluetooth Health Device Profile was developed to ensure that devices used in medical, health and fitness applications can transfer data between devices in a secure and well-defined way via wireless technology. The health market is increasingly making use of wireless technology to connect equipment. Most of the connections are between a computing device, for example a home health station, telemedicine device or computer, and portable devices such as sensors monitoring heart rate, blood pressure or glucose level. The transmission of data can take place transparently to the user, requiring no physical intervention. Wireless applications can also free the elderly from more cumbersome monitoring systems, enabling movement rather than confinement to a room or a bed.
