Software Design Tool
Getting the code right during the design process can be a tough job. The QuickUML 3.0 Universal Markup Language (UML) allows users to design object-oriented software with an integrated set of core UML modules. The software is a universal binary application optimized for both personal computer and Intel-based Mac OS X computers. QuickUML also supports all systems from Windows 98 through Vista. Version 3.0 includes new diagram presentation features, code generation, an integrated help system and a printable manual. For more information, visit www.excelsoftware.com.

Image Compression Application
Moving imagery or large files over limited bandwidth can cause serious delays for time-critical systems. SelectFocus is an image/video compression and exploitation suite of software products designed for commercial and government users. The software is specifically intended for the transmission of imagery over low-bandwidth Internet protocol networks. For more information, visit www.gdc4s.com.

Network Management Software
Keeping mobile communications networks up and running can be challenging under the best of circumstances. The RuggedNMS is an enterprise-grade network management software platform for rugged communications systems. The software provides monitoring, configuration and maintenance of Internet-protocol-based communications networks such as substation automation and “smart grids” used by electric utilities, intelligent transportation systems and advanced control and automation for industrial processes. For more information, visit www.ruggedcom.com.

Crystal Clock Engine
This device is designed to help keep mobile network devices synchronized in time and space. The SXO-75 is a synchronized crystal clock engineered to eliminate the need for an external global positioning system (GPS) synchronization circuit in broadcast, defense and telecommunications applications. The device features a multi-vendor GPS interface, auto-adaptive filtering for jitter, wander and noise at 1-nanosecond resolution for up to 100,000 seconds.
