Embedded Research Solutions (ERS) creates products and the enabling
technologies for pervasive computing applications. The US National
Institutes of Standards and Technology (NIST) defines pervasive computing
as, “the strongly emerging trend toward numerous, casually accessible,
often invisible computing devices, frequently mobile or embedded in the
environment, and connected to an increasingly ubiquitous network
structure.” Simply put – intelligent, connected devices that are
everywhere. In the US, academic research in this area is quite strong,
supported primarily by the government. This research has not yielded
deployable technology – ERS has. The company has made practical the
technology through proven scientific and engineering principles. The
technology base includes software and hardware that allows multi-hop
communication, ad-hoc networking, mesh networking, power management,
location awareness, real-time responsiveness and dynamic
reconfiguration.
ERS has created the first truly deployable solution for pervasive
applications. The software architecture is uniquely scaleable. It has been
shrunk to fit on the smallest and least expensive embedded processors yet
maintain a rich set of functions. In addition, the software can run as
middleware on standard operating systems including Linux and Windows.
Other attributes of ERS solutions include low-cost, guaranteed real-time
performance, dynamic configurability, modularity, ease of use and low
maintenance.
ERS has developed a platform software, known as ZEETM, that
consists of a configurable, modular, hardware independent, framework
uniquely suited for highly distributed systems and networks required to
deliver data in real-time.
ERS is privately held and located in Annapolis Maryland.
