Embedded group formed

The Standardization Group for Embedded Technologies, SGET, has been established. Embedded computer manufacturers, such as Advantech, congatec, Data Modul, Kontron, MSC, SECO, and the publishers WEKA Fachmedien and Vogel Business Media are among the founding members.

The SGET organisation will develop and maintain worldwide valid embedded computing specifications to propel new embedded technology standardisation, meeting the demands of the markets.

With SGET, a globally operating, manufacturer-independent consortium has been created, which can react to the accelerated speed of technological progress and to changing market demands.

The founding members are confident that, worldwide, more than 100 ventures are going to join the group within a year. Other companies and institutions which work in the area of embedded computing are invited to join.
