Case Study: Collins Aerospace achieves faster development and reliable 24/7 uptime with ActiveState

Rockwell Collins - Customer Case Study

Rockwell Collins, a global leader in communications and avionics, needed its MaxView Network Management System to support widely divergent customer interfaces while guaranteeing 24/7 uptime for mission‑critical broadcast, satellite, government and commercial networks. The challenge was to deliver highly customizable, reliable deployments without repeatedly changing or recompiling the core product.

Rockwell Collins embedded ActiveState’s ActiveTcl via an OEM license to power device drivers and the customizable automation layer, enabling cross‑platform, on‑site script changes that don’t affect the core code. The result was faster development and time‑to‑market, easy automatic customization (including customer‑driven tweaks), and a stable, well‑supported system that reduces complexity and helps ensure continuous uptime.
