Monta Vista, an embedded Linux company out of Sunnyvale, California, is announcing the upcoming release of Carrier Grade Edition (CGE) Linux. According to Glenn Seiler, Monta Vista marketing director, CGE, a version of Linux for the telecommunications industry, will ship in late May.
In January, the Open Source Development Lab (OSDL) announced a change in its focus. Instead of simply providing hardware for Open Source development and testing, it shifted to providing guidance to Linux kernel development in order to produce a hardened kernel suitable for the rigid requirements of the telecommunications industry. These new, stricter standards are called "carrier grade." The OSDL formed the "Carrier Grade Linux Platform Working Group," which "is not intended to redefine existing architectures, but rather will identify requirements and encourage development of common infrastructure requirements."
