PrismTech, a leading provider of productivity tools and middleware, has announced that it is supplying its OpenFusion® e*ORB™ middleware solution to Anritsu Instruments Company, a subsidiary of Anritsu Corporation, a global provider of operational support and measurement solutions for next-generation telecommunications systems.

“We selected OpenFusion middleware for its ease of configuration and overall performance,” said Gregory Soule, director R&D at Anritsu Instruments. “PrismTech’s CORBA® middleware solution is flexible and robust enough to support all of our application requirements.”

OpenFusion e*ORB, PrismTech’s flagship embedded product in its family of CORBA-based middleware solutions, is specifically designed for use in low profile, resource-constrained environments. Available in C and C++, it features an open and configurable architecture, offering high performance and extremely efficient use of system resources. OpenFusion e*ORB is the first ORB to offer an interoperable solution across GPP, DSP and FPGA processor types.

“We are pleased that we were able to offer Anritsu a CORBA middleware solution that could meet all of their key requirements,” said Steve Jennis , senior vice president of corporate development at PrismTech. “Companies serving existing and next-generation ‘wired’ and ‘wireless’ communications systems demand middleware solutions that can operate with a wide variety of platforms and configurations, and OpenFusion is able to deliver this.”

Anritsu—which specializes in providing network test and measurement equipment for the telecommunications industry—joins a long and distinguished list of telecom customers for PrismTech, including Cisco, AT&T, Ciena, Lucent, Telcordia, Ericsson, Siemens and Alcatel.
