The new partnership optimizes the SDR domain expertise of PrismTech with the model-based software engineering (MBSE) credentials of Zeligsoft and likewise Spectra CX will combine the best aspects of Spectra and CE/CX to deliver a uniquely productive, flexible, SDR domain-optimized tool. Spectra CX is targeted to be released to market in early August 2009 and will be available for download and evaluation at that time.

Existing Spectra and CE/CX customers will benefit from a suite of migration tools and services that will be released in conjunction with Spectra CX to facilitate their phased upgrade to Spectra CX.

Spectra CX is a fully-featured, Software Radio development tool offering advanced functionality for waveform and platform visual modeling, component templates, XML generation and compliance validation, customizable source code generation, reverse engineering waveforms, configuration management, target monitoring and management, unit test generation, flexible target build environments, and deployment planning and packaging. Spectra CX is built on IBM's (UML 2.0-based) Rational Software Modeler and the Eclipse tools framework. Thus Spectra CX is fully industry-standards compliant and leverages the very latest in software tools technology.
