SCS Distribution, sole distributor in southern Africa for Axis Communications, today announced that the latter had received three new orders for its Device Server Platform, a development kit for companies developing their own solutions based on Axis` technology. The orders further prove the strength of Axis` technology for network connectivity and its commitment towards third-party developers.
Besides products sold under Axis` own brand and OEM sales, Axis` technology is also sold to third-party developers who build applications based on the ETRAX 100LX platform. The three volume orders are from two US companies and one Australian company, which are developing their own products based on a generic OEM board from Axis. In these cases, the boards are used in three very different applications: the first, in an installation for a large retail chain; the second, in a custom office application; and the third, in a local area wireless solution.
Axis` Device Server Platforms are shipped product-ready; therefore, customers do not need to spend any time on hardware development, tests for authority approvals or buying and programming Ethernet addresses. When the application is ready, the software can simply be loaded to the Device Server Platform using FTP (File Transfer Protocol), or through Axis` flash load method.
To improve time-to-market for internal development initiatives and to further strengthen its technology offering, Axis is also introducing a new generation of chips. The new ETRAX MCM, basically a Linux computer with a total size of 27x27mm, enables faster development cycles and design of new miniaturised Linux products.
Axis is committed to open source development and actively supports application development on Axis` technology.
