Express Logic Celebrates 10th Anniversary

San Diego, CA, September 27, 2006 --(PR.com)-- Express Logic, Inc., the worldwide leader in royalty-free real-time operating systems (RTOS), celebrates ten profitable years of operation this October. Founded in San Diego, California in 1996 by William E. Lamie and David L. Lamie, Express Logic has established itself as a leader in the highly competitive commercial RTOS market. Relying on solid technology, an attractive business model, and strong partnerships, Express Logic has earned significant market share and can proudly point to over 300 million deployments of its ThreadX RTOS in electronic devices. From HP’s adoption of ThreadX for use in its ink-jet printers to last year’s Deep Impact space probe, Express Logic has helped embedded systems manufacturers produce successful designs in a variety of markets.

In its ten years of operation, Express Logic has demonstrated:

· Strong staying power. Self-funded, consistently profitable operations have sustained the company and enabled it to grow over the years. While many high-tech companies have come and gone over this same period―one with the biggest recessions in the high-tech industry―Express Logic has shown the staying power to weather that storm, and now is benefiting from the recovering economy. Customers can rest assured that Express Logic will be around for many years to come.
· Strong products and technology. The ThreadX RTOS, FileX file system, NetX TCP/IP stack, and our USBX USB stack all have been developed in-house, and all are designed with high-performance, small footprint and ease-of-use in mind. This combination of technological innovation and simple use have made ThreadX and its companion products a hit among SoC and electronic device manufacturers. Now with the release of Version 5.0 of ThreadX, FileX and NetX, new capabilities extend these already valuable programs, making embedded development easier than ever before.
· Strong partnerships. From the very early years, Express Logic has established the most extensive development tool and processor architecture partnership portfolio of any RTOS company, including such industry leaders as ARM, Wind River, Freescale, MIPS, ARC, Analog Devices, Altera, AMCC, IAR, Green Hills Software, and Xilinx. This partnership strategy gives Express Logic customers the flexibility to choose whatever development tool and/or processor is appropriate for their next project..
· Strong customer acceptance. Over the ten-year history of Express Logic, we’ve been fortunate in earning the business of some of the most prestigious, successful manufacturing companies in the world, including HP, Broadcom, Intel, and Sony.
· The best people. Starting at the top, Express Logic founder, William E. Lamie, is an acknowledged industry luminary, having previously co-founded Accelerated Technology and written their Nucleus RTOS. After leaving ATI, Bill authored the ThreadX RTOS and founded Express Logic. Bill has lead Express Logic’s operations and staff for all ten years of our existence, and has assembled a strong supporting team with directly relevant industry experience.

“We’re very proud to celebrate this tenth anniversary as a successful RTOS company,” commented William E. Lamie, president of Express Logic. “We’ve accomplished a lot in this time, and I look forward to even greater accomplishments during our next ten years. We gratefully acknowledge the help and support we’ve received from our valued customers, partners and employees, who’ve combined to make Express Logic what it is today.”
