...under development
 

Logic IO are always busy working on new enhancements and products.
Currently we are working with the following:

  • Encrypted and Compressed GPRS Gateway communication.
    Higher safety and lower communication costs are the result of these coming features!

  • RTCU GPRS Deployment & Upgrade Server.
    Automatic upgrade of application/firmware is made possible with this server using the just released background update features.

  • Next release of the RTCU GPRS Gateway Professional.

  • Optimizing EIS Compiler (Enhanced Instruction Set).
    This is the next generation VPL compiler with optimized instruction set and deep dead code elimination. These advanced features will reduce the size of an application with upto 50% and also break the current 128 KByte limitation per task!!
    These features will allow much larger programs without adding more physical memory!

  • Visual Basic support for the RTCU Communication Deployment Package.

  • Next release of the RTCU IDE with many enhancements, including EIS support.

  • RTCU MX2
    The "next generation" RTCU that will be a more compact design with a powerfull 32-bit processor, extremely advanced power-management, CAN-bus, SD-CARD support, Bluetooth and much much more...


Suggestions, comments and ideas to new features/products are always welcomed...
