Major Defense Contractor

While developing a software-defined radio for the Joint Tactical Radio System (JTRS), a major defense contractor ran into some hurdles. With a major deadline looming, the team had a choice to make: either battle the code or switch to an ORB that supported open-standard APIs. The team decided to switch ORBs, turning to Objective Interface Systems and its ORBexpress product.
