Spectrum Signal Processing and Zeligsoft have entered into an agreement whereby Spectrum will bundle Zeligsoft's Component Enabler (CE) with its fully programmable flexComm SDR-3000 software-defined radio (SDR) platform. Zeligsoft CE is an advanced software-modeling tool that enables the design and deployment of component-based software systems supporting the Software Communications Architecture (SCA) standard.

The SCA is an open-architecture framework that governs how elements of hardware and software are to operate in harmony within the U.S. Department of Defense Joint Tactical Radio Systems. The goal of this architecture is to enable the development of interoperable and portable waveforms.

By offering Zeligsoft CE integrated in its SDR solutions, Spectrum makes it easier for customers to bring SDR projects to market. The tool automatically validates the design, creates design documentation and generates the complete set of extensible markup language (XML) descriptor files specific to the waveform. This eliminates the process of manually authoring the XML files. Zeligsoft CE accelerates SCA development, while dramatically diminishing the risk of design errors.

Spectrum's product bundle includes a universal modeling language 2.0 compliant model of the SDR-3000 platform developed with Zeligsoft CE. This enables customers to visualize the SDR-3000 platform configuration and take full advantage of all available resources to expedite the development and deployment of their applications. The SDR-3000 together with Zeligsoft CE tools are available from Spectrum.
