Entropic, UpdateLogic leverage Entropic's Open RDK platform

LOS ANGELES, USA: Entropic and UpdateLogic, a provider of comprehensive device management systems, announced their RDK (Reference Design Kit) collaboration.

The co-operation leverages Entropic's Open RDK platform and UpdateLogic's NetReady SupportView(tm) application to empower operators interested in RDK implementations to have a complete remote device service and support system - across any connected home device.

Entropic's Open RDK platform is comprised of its ARM-based System-on-a-Chip (SoC) solutions and Software Development Kit (SDK). It is the first RDK-focused SoC solution to support the OpenEmbedded core technology and the Yocto Project(tm) Linux development environment, which in turn maximizes the commonality of the code used on different set-top devices, making it architecture agnostic.

UpdateLogic's NetReady SupportView is a proven support service for connected consumer electronics (CE) devices. The introduction of the NetReady SupportView service on set-top boxes (STBs) will enable operators to provide a higher level of service that enhances the subscriber experience, improves subscriber satisfaction, reduces product returns and elevates brand image while driving down service costs and improving profitability.
