Soleus™ - Manufacturers

Soleus™ is a complete mobile handset software platform built on the rich architecture and world-class toolset of Windows® Embedded CE. The Soleus™ platform features a robust combination of: pre-integrated applications, pre-certified telephony components, an innovative UI engine and a unique modular development approach. Soleus™ is the solution of choice for manufacturers looking to quickly develop mobile telephony devices with rich, differentiated user experiences, while reducing development time and cost.

REDUCED TIME TO MARKET AND LOWER DEVELOPMENT COSTS

The Soleus™ modular architecture provides a faster and more cost effective approach for bringing new feature rich mobile devices to market. The modular design, suite of pre-integrated applications and dynamic UI tools yield: reduced engineering expenses, earlier introduction of new devices, increased margin per handset, and reduced certification time and expense. Manufacturers enjoy lower overall development costs per handset, providing for more handset designs at the same cost resulting in a higher return on investment.

WORLD-CLASS DEVELOPMENT TOOLS

To best support customization, Soleus™ extends the reach of both Microsoft® Platform Builder® and Microsoft Visual Studio®. By adding Soleus™ specific tools directly into the menu structure, developers can easily access Soleus design templates, applications and test support. The tools provide developers with the ability to drag-and-drop mobile applications and services within Platform Builder for fast operating system configuration. The Soleus™ UX Designer, a plug-in for Microsoft Visual Studio, allows developers to use a drag-and-drop interface for building the UI of Soleus™ mobile phone applications.

SEAMLESS INTEGRATION OF APPLICATIONS

Intrinsyc has partnered with select third party independent software vendors (ISVs) who have developed best-of-breed applications to port their solutions to Soleus™. Soleus™ enables manufacturers, operators and developers to select from the Soleus™ pre-integrated applications or to seamlessly integrate their own applications into new device designs. The Soleus™ open platform leverages a common Windows toolset known to millions of software and hardware developers. No other mobile handset software platform on the market today offers comparable benefits, plus easy portability and integration of applications.

OPERATOR AND HANDSET CUSTOMIZATION

The Soleus™ modular architecture, combined with pre-certified telephony components and a suite of pre-integrated applications, allows manufacturers to quickly customize devices to meet operator handset requirements. In addition, manufacturers can provide operators with complete control over the branding of the device, including the idle screen, main menus, softkeys and even the branding of the individual applications. The user-interface elements can be quickly customized without source code changes and easily updated, rebranded, localized and repurposed. Soleus™ provides manufacturers the ability to establish a catalog of customizable handsets for an array of operators.
