Bulletproof software's silver anniversary

As part of its 25th anniversary, QNX is celebrating a quarter century of innovations that have helped make the world a safer, smarter, or simply more entertaining place.

Long before I-Pods or the Internet, QNX Software Systems was making bulletproof software for some of the most extreme computing systems in the world.

Now, as part of its 25th anniversary, QNX celebrates a quarter century of innovations that have helped make the world a safer, smarter, or simply more entertaining place.

Founded in 1980, QNX was the first company to take software outside of traditional computing environments and unleash smart devices and equipment that define the state of the art in manufacturing, healthcare and science, consumer electronics, communications and transportation.

Since kicking off the embedded revolution 25 years ago, QNX has time and time again powered the most complex systems and reliable products on the market.

Working with thousands of customers, including Cisco, DaimlerChrysler, General Electric, Intel, Lockheed Martin, Renesas, and Siemens, QNX consistently unlocks new frontiers for research and industry and provides piece of mind, comfort, and safety for consumers.

QNX software plays a critical role in everything from space exploration and surgery to offshore oil drilling and global warming research.

Every day, communities count on QNX to keep cars on the road and airplanes in the air.

Likewise, millions of people around the world unknowingly rely on QNX when watching television, swiping a credit card, calling 9-1-1, donating blood, or catching an underground train.

"We take immense pride in reaching our 25th anniversary knowing that, for a quarter century, QNX has been a driving force in expanding the role of software around the world", said Dan Dodge, cofounder and CEO, QNX Software Systems.

"Increasingly, software's greatest impact happens off the desktop - in the 'real world'".

"The systems we power are the ones that people rely on when the stakes are the highest".

"Knowing that we have become the cornerstone for the most critical systems on earth is incredibly rewarding for all of us at QNX".
