Apr. 01, 2004
 Entelechy Consulting and Sintium Ltd. have combined to form a new company, EmbeddedFusion, which intends to supply hardware, software, and training products to companies developing systems and devices based on Microsoft's Windows CE embedded operating system. EmbeddedFusion says its initial products will include development platforms, Windows CE BSPs (board support packages), Windows CE training, and custom design services.
Coincident with its launch, EmbeddedFusion also unveiled its first hardware platform, the FC-MXL processor module and F100 I/O board. The company claims the FC-MXL module is well suited for applications in telematics, remote monitoring, data collection, GPS/mapping, security, access control, and home automation.

The F100 I/O board adds serial ports, Ethernet, storage, and expansion options. The FC-MXL is available as an OEM module, or together with the F100 I/O board as a development kit. The development kit includes Microsoft Windows CE, pre-installed, and is being sold for $299 USD.
