Encirq Partners with Renesas Technology through COMET Program

Encirq(R) 3e(TM) Selected as Data Management Solution for Renesas Telematics Platform

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 27 -- Encirq Corporation announced today that it has been selected to participate in the COMET(TM) (Community Enabling Telematics) Program sponsored by Renesas Technology, a newly created joint venture company of Hitachi, Ltd. and Mitsubishi Electric Corporation, and that the Encirq 3e Database Suite is available for immediate delivery to developers using the Renesas telematics platform. Encirq joins a select group of companies providing an end-to-end solution for telematics and car infotainment system device manufacturers.

As a result of the COMET Program, device manufacturers can now more easily evaluate software and middleware products running on the Renesas hardware platform. The COMET Program helps speed time to market by assuring that the selected solutions have been qualified and tested on the reference hardware.

"Encirq 3e data management technology is currently being used by Renesas telematics customers as a key building block in their products," said Mark Vogel, founder and CEO of Encirq. "By selecting Encirq to participate in the COMET initiative, Renesas has recognized the value that Encirq 3e offers to automotive electronics manufacturers looking to speed their time to market, increase their engineering productivity, and more easily add new features and functionality."

With the Encirq 3e Database Suite, developers generate custom, application-specific data management components for their embedded software. These data management components are compact and high-performance, yet can have the functionality and capabilities of a full-featured database in as little as 30kB.

A free trial download of the Encirq 3e Database Suite can be found at www.encirq.com.
