November 20, 2025 Red Hat, (Nasdaq: RHAT), the leader in developing, deploying and managing open source Internet infrastructure solutions, today announced with
nBand Communications, Inc, a broadband wireless technology company, a port of the Red Hat GNUPro embedded development tools to nFlex, nBand's broadband wireless
communications processor.
Under the terms of the agreement with nBand, Red Hat will provide a version of its industry-leading, GNUPro development tools compatible with nBand's nFlex family of programmable processors for applications such as wireless LANs, fixed broadband wireless access, universal wireless gateways and cellular base stations. Red Hat will also provide ongoing maintenance and commercial support for nFlex end users.
nBand expects to introduce nFlex, along with a GNUPro development suite initially for the Solaris operating system, in the Spring of 2001. The nFlex GNUPro development environment is now available under beta release to select nBand customers.
"Red Hat has tremendous embedded and open source expertise and the availability of these industry standard tools for the nFlex processor family will speed adoption by
OEMs looking to develop and upgrade products through software," said Pete Foley, president and CEO of nBand Communications. "This port includes optimizations for
nFlex vector extensions that maximize the performance of nFlex-based broadband wireless baseband and MAC layer applications."
"Red Hat is helping innovative companies like nBand to come to market quickly with the GNUPro open source tool suite," said Michael Tiemann, CTO of Red Hat. "nBand's new nFlex processor will enable OEMs to create, manage and deploy a new generation of wireless products. Red Hat continues to see tremendous momentum as the only open source provider that can easily provide a complete spectrum of embedded, open source solutions and actively manage a consistent set of API's and common code base through the Red Hat Network."
Red Hat has more than 10 years of unmatched experience in testing, releasing, and maintaining leading edge open source products and platforms based on a single source
base for Linux and GNU. For more information on Red Hat Embedded Linux please visit

Open Source Momentum
International Data Corp. (IDC) research states that paid Linux shipments
grew faster than any other server operating system over the past two
years, and their preliminary figures for 1999 show Linux shipments hold
24.6 percent of the server operating system market, up from 15.8 in
1998. IDC also states that Red Hat Linux is by far the most popular
distribution, preferred by 68.7 percent of U.S. Linux users.
Research firm Netcraft, Inc.
http://www.netcraft.com states
that as of May 2000, 36 percent of all public Web sites run on
Linux-based operating systems, making Linux the most popular choice for
deploying public Web sites. IDC research shows 40 percent of all
spending on Linux servers is for Internet related applications, firmly
entrenching Linux servers in the Internet infrastructure.
Finally, IDC predicts that by 2002, there will be more than 55 million
handheld and notebook-style information appliance devices and that by
2005, shipments of these appliances will exceed shipments of PCs.
Red Hat's numerous alliances with industry leaders and the demand for
Linux-based applications has created open source support from many of
the industry's leading software and hardware manufacturers, including
Compaq, Computer Associates, Dell, Hewlett-Packard, IBM, Intel,
Netscape, Novell, Oracle and SAP.
