Kvaser signs agreement with Mercury Marine
Kvaser signs agreement with Mercury Marine New real time operative system makes boating safer Wisconsin - Kvaser and Mercury Marine recently signed a license agreement for the use of CAN Kingdom in the maritime sector. This is a breakthrough for Kvaser's CAN Kingdom technology because Mercury Marine is the major market driver in the marine sector and this public announcement validates Kvaser's technological direction of the development of CAN tools for the marine market. The value of this contract was not made available publicly at this time. Lars-Berno Fredriksson, the Chairman of the Board at Kvaser, stated "CAN Kingdom is a higher level protocol designed for machine control with controller area network (CAN) to give the possibility for a system designer to get maximum performance and for node designers to design nodes independently from specific systems." He described the advantage of CAN Kingdom in this statement, "A great advantage with the CAN Kingdom approach of not being a complete protocol but a set of protocol primitives is, especially for real-time systems, that the system designer can chose a suitable architecture and bus access management for his application. An efficient development process and optimum systems performance can be achieved by CAN Kingdom." Kvaser AB, with its domain in Gothenburg, Sweden, is a company developing software and hard ware products for advanced real time systems (RTOS-S), with its core know-how in the CAN-protocol.
