Case Study: Shiron Satellite Communications achieves lower-cost broadband with Wind River VxWorks

Shiron Satellite lowers product costs by 50% with Wind River

Shiron Satellite Communications, an Israeli company providing broadband satellite internet, faced a challenge with its InterSKY system. Their original Windows-based operating system failed to deliver the necessary performance, prompting a search for a real-time operating system to improve their product.

Shiron implemented the VxWorks real-time operating system from Wind River. This solution provided the required real-time performance, allowing the company to develop smaller, more stable products with a faster time-to-market. The measurable impact was significant, as Wind River's technology helped Shiron lower its product costs by 50% while also reducing the footprint and weight of its hardware.
