PrismTech Releases Spectra CX v3.3 - Offering New and Unrivalled Levels of Productivity for SDR Developers

PrismTech™, a global leader in standards-based, performance-critical middleware, today announced the General Availability (GA) of the latest release of its Software Defined Radio (SDR) Software Communications Architecture (SCA) model-driven architecture and development (MDA (News - Alert)/MDD) tool, Spectra™ CX v3.3. Spectra CX v3.3 provides many new features which help to simplify accelerate and validate SCA-Based Development.

Spectra CX is a key part of PrismTech's fully integrated Spectra suite of Commercial-Off-The-Shelf (COTS) tools, middleware, core frameworks, and development platforms for SCA developers. Spectra CX is a MDA/MDD tool that supports complete round-trip SCA engineering; allowing the developer to start developing application code immediately with highly-productive requirements, modeling, code generation, code validation, and deployment assistance features. This results in faster time-to-market, lower costs, better software quality, and superior compliance for all SCA waveform and platform code developed with Spectra CX.

Spectra CX v3.3 upgrades its UML platform from IBM (News - Alert)^® Rational^® Software Modeler (RSM7.5) to BM^® Rational^® Software Architect (RSA8). IBM RSA8 provides Spectra CX v3.3 users with new RSA (News - Alert), productivity improvements and broader UML technology support.

Spectra CX v3.3 also provides the following specific improvements for SCA developers:

• Modeling of Classes with generation (of C++),
• Support for modeling Services, and Inter-node Connections,
• Shared library support,
• Improved SCA Unit Test user interface and support for generation of a platform-specific TargetLoader allowing for on-target unit testing.

"Spectra CX allows developers to easily develop, test, validate, and deploy new SCA waveforms without the need to become experts in numerous and complex SCA-related technologies," said Mike Williams, Spectra CX Product Manager. "These new features will further cement Spectra CX's position as the leading best-in-class COTS model-driven development tool for SCA developers."
