TORONTO, Ontario, 18 Feb. 2010. ALT Software won a contract with the Chinese Aeronautical Radio Electronics Research Institute (CARERI) to provide embedded graphics display drivers and hardware design services for the AMD ATI Radeon E4690 (M96) and Radeon X1400 (M54) graphics processors for deployment in next-generation avionics display systems. CARERI supplies avionics products and services to China's aerospace industry.
"Embedded graphics display technologies have experienced enormous performance improvements over the past few years, especially with the advent of high performance processors like AMD's ATI Radeon E4690 and X1400," says Wang Guo Qing, president of CARERI. "These advances have inspired CARERI to create a Critical Embedded Graphics Technology Lab with the goal of leveraging these sorts of technologies to improve a pilot's situational awareness in the cockpit. We selected ALT Software as our primary technology partner for this endeavor because of their impressive history of delivering high performance embedded graphics display solutions to the world's leading aircraft manufacturers and systems integrators."
The Institute recently opened a Centre of Excellence in Shanghai known as the Critical Embedded Graphics Technology Lab. The Lab has been established for the advancement of avionics graphics display technologies and will be leveraging ALT's products and expertise as part of their research and development mandate.
This new relationship was brokered by Coordinate, a strategic partner and Value Added Reseller (VAR) with operations in China. "CARERI is a world-class leader in the field of avionics research, and ALT Software is a world-class leader in the field of embedded graphics for avionics systems," says Betty Li, director of business development of Coordinate. "Coordinate is very pleased to be acting as the bridge between these two reputable organizations, thereby furthering the advancement of avionics display technologies in Chinese aircraft."
CARERI is a specialized research institution for the research and development of integrated avionics systems and core equipment in China. It is mainly engaged in the development, manufacture and management of avionics and civil electronic technology and products as well as software
