PROFILE |
 |
Microware Systems wants to reach consumers with its real-time operating system. The company's OS-9 (not to be confused with Macintosh's OS 9) powers traditional embedded components in industrial automation, transportation, medical, and government and military systems, among others. Most of the consumer goods (in-car navigation systems, wireless telephones, two-way pagers) that will include OS-9 are still in development. Microware has a licensing agreement with Motorola to incorporate OS-9 into various wireless devices, including Motorola's PageWriter two-way pager. Co-founder and CEO Kenneth Kaplan owns about 30% and Motorola owns 16% of Microware, which has agreed to be acquired by embedded systems maker RadiSys.
