VLX for Mobile Handsets

VirtualLogix™ VLX for Mobile Handsets is a high-performance, real-time virtualization solution that is targeted at wireless devices using ARM® core-based system-on-a-chip (SoC). VLX for Mobile Handsets allows multiple execution environments to simultaneously run on a single ARM processor core. The secure, fault tolerant architecture enables the isolation of each execution environment, allowing phone services, trusted services or device management functions to run unaffected by potential corruptions in an open operating system (OS) such as Linux and its applications.

Virtualization software enables smart phone functionality to be quickly introduced using feature phone architecture by enabling existing modem software and real-time operating system (RTOS) to co-exist with the open OS and its applications on the same processor core.

VLX for Mobile Handsets maintains real-time operating system (RTOS) performance guarantees, allowing handset manufacturers and wireless operators to deliver more reliable, lower-cost mobile phones with advanced features to the mass market.

Benefits

Enables the use of a rich OS on a single ARM core architecture without the need to modify the existing modem software
Isolates proprietary core functions, management and security from open source software. This provides protection from open source licensing requirements and potential malware that is based on publicly available source code
Provides device management functions such as OS monitoring and automatic restart, allowing the system to be repaired or restored independently of the rich OS. This can be used to maintain core phone services in case of a failure of the rich OS (fault tolerant software architecture).
Enables the mobile handset to include trusted services such as security agents, access control and authentication independently of the rich OS.
