Phoenix Systems has signed the agreement worth almost 5 million EUR under the KPO IPCEI CIS program to develop European operating system for Edge-IoT

2024-11-22

We are proud to announce that Phoenix Systems has signed an agreement with the National Centre for Research and Development, through which it will receive about 5 million EUR in funding under the KPO IPCEI CIS program (Important Project of Common European Interest – Cloud Infrastructure and Services) for the development of a European open-source scalable operating system for Edge-IoT.

The main project idea is that a single operating system can run both on edge devices with limited computing resources and on advanced devices enabling far-edge processing and tight cloud integration. Another important goal of the project is that a single operating system can support simultaneously multiple of industry verticals by providing industry specific application environments and fulfilling the safety and security standards requirements.

As part of the European 8ra (IPCEI-CIS) project, we are collaborating with major high-tech companies:

Bosch Research, in the context of real-time critical applications in the Edge Cloud Continuum (DE);

Deutsche Telekom, represented by T-Systems International, where Phoenix Systems will develop UAV technology (drone platform based on Phoenix-RTOS with Phoenix-PILOT autopilot) and integrate it with T-Systems autonomous logistics system (DE); Diehl Aviation, represented by its joint venture Diehl Aerospace, on the Flying Edge Concentrator for aerospace industry (DE);

Digitale Schiene Deutschland, where collaboration will be focused on expert exchange on development and implementation of an IT/OT secure Safe Computing Platform (SCP) for future digital and automated rail (DE);

Engineering Ingegneria Informatica (Engineering Group) with which Phoenix Systems will work on seamless integration of the the Smart Sensor Box into the Computing Continuum (IT);

Within the KicksforEdge (Siemens IPCEI-CIS project Dr. Daniel Horcher) working jointly to create a seamless integration of the Cloud-Edge systems down to constrained Edge devices (Smart Sensor Box) (DE);

Fachhochschule Dortmund, with which Phoenix Systems will cooperate on developing methods and platforms for Edge-loT devices testing and diagnostics (DE);

OpenNebula Systems, with which Phoenix System will work on orchestrating Edge-IoT deployments across the Computing Continuum (ES);

SYSGO - Embedding Innovations, where collaboration will be focused on (among others) Phoenix-RTOS operating with SYSGO's PIkeOS RTOS & hypervisor, development of orchestration components and standardization of developed technologies (DE).
