Real Time Logic Joins Andes Technology Corp.'s New Internet of Things Community Knect.me(TM) to Provide Software Stack Solutions

HSINCHU, TAIWAN--(Marketwired - August 19, 2015) - Andes Technology Corporation, the leading supplier of small, low-power, high performance 32-bit embedded CPU cores, today announced that Real Time Logic has joined Knect.me, the new Internet of Things community that provides open-source, commercial solutions for connected devices. Real Time Logic brings to the Knect community its complete web-enablement, and secure connectivity portfolio for embedded devices to deliver dynamic control, fast enterprise-level security, and web functionality for industrial control, building automation, military, medical, and consumer markets. These include Barracuda Application Server^(TM), SharkSSL^(TM) "World's Fastest and Smallest SSL/TLS, Client and Server", SMQ IoT Protocol, Secure MQTT client machine-to-machine IoT Protocol, Barracuda Web Server, and PikeHTTPS Client.

"Real Time Logic is delighted to join the Knect community," said Wilfred Nilsen, CEO of Real Time Logic. "With the advent of the Internet of Things, developers building remote management and control systems have had to apply slow, memory-intensive enterprise-level point tools to the task. Real Time Logic solved the problem with our Barracuda Application Server Tools. It enables developers to deliver fast, secure, GUI-rich web server applications on compact, low-power devices. These extremely compact applications can meet the most stringent security requirements of today's proliferating variety of IoT applications. Being part of Knect, our solution can reach the expanding numbers of developers building IoT solutions."

"We are very pleased that Real Time Logic is providing its solutions to the Software Stack section of the Knect community," said Charlie Hong-Men Su, Ph.D., Andes Technology CTO and Senior Vice President of R&D. "The Knect Software Stack comprises software building blocks for smart devices and Internet of Things applications, including device drivers, real-time operating systems, middleware, protocol stacks, and IoT APIs running on AndesCore. Because IoT devices operate autonomously, they are vulnerable to all the hacking attacks that plague the rest of the human connected world. Real Time Logic's expertise in securing machine-to-machine interaction provides users of Knect a best-in-class security solution to IoT designs with an Andes core."
