ENEA is global information technology company with its headquarters in Kista, Sweden that provides real-time operating systems and consulting services. ENEA, which is an abbreviation of Engmans Elektronik Aktiebolag, is best known for producing the operating system known as OSE (Operating System Embedded).
Products include:
- Enea Linux, which provides an open, cross-development tool chain and runtime environment based on the Yocto Project™ embedded Linux configuration system. Enea’s unique position as an independent embedded Linux distributor and absence of proprietary tools in the Enea Linux distribution makes it the most future proof embedded Linux available on the market.
- the Enea OSE family of realtime operating systems including Enea OSE Enea OSEck (for DSPs) and Enea OSE Epsilon (for microcontrollers) - all three operating systems share the same modular architecture microkernel architecture making application migration a simple process. Enea OSE Multicore Edition was released in 2009[2] and won the VDC Research Group Best of Show Award at the ESC Boston trade show.[3] Enea OSE Multicore Edition offers both AMP and SMP processing in a hybrid architecture.
- Enea Hypervisor[4] is also based on OSE micro kernel technology and runs Enea OSE applications and takes as guests Linux Operating System and optionally semiconductor specific executive environments for bare-metal speed packet processing
- Enea Optima development tool suite for developing, debugging and profiling embedded systems software[5]
- the Polyhedra family of relational database systems, consisting of 32-bit and 64-bit versions of Polyhedra in-memory database management system (IMDB), and Polyhedra FlashLite (which holds the data in flash-based files)
- the Element middleware software for high-availability systems, based on technology developed by Equipe Communications Corp[6]
- the dSPEED middleware a suite of management, debug and error handling services for developing, deploying, and maintaining DSP “user plane” applications.
- LINX, an adaptable inter-process communication mechanism that has been released via SourceForge[7] in open-source forms (with proprietary forms for OSE and other platforms).
- Enea Netbricks Line of Protocols, for Signalling, NGN and Fax and Data applications.[8]
In addition to its line of off the shelf software products, Enea has a global services operation offering end to end development and support for technology products. This includes design, development, testing and maintenance, and off-shoring. Enea has particular expertise in testing and testing training, telecom applications, and safety and certification.
Some historical facts about Enea
ENEA was founded 1968 by four engineers from the Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm. Their first product was an operating system for a defence computer used by the Swedish Air Force. During the 1970s the firm developed compiler technology for the programming language Simula.
During the early days of the European Internet-like connections, ENEA employee Björn Eriksen connected Sweden to EUnet using UUCP, and registered enea as the first Swedish domain in April 1983. The domain was later converted to the internet domain enea.se when the network was switched over to TCP and the Swedish top domain .se was created in 1986.[9][10]
