August 29, 2001 (TOKYO) -- The manufacturers supplying antenna base station infrastructure gear for NTT DoCoMo Inc.'s new third-generation (3G) mobile-phone service called FOMA have all adopted the "VxWorks" real-time operating system for use in base station equipment.



This means that U.S.-based Wind River Systems Inc., the developer of VxWorks and already the world's largest producer of such real-time OS products, has the whole FOMA market, the service is now being tested in Tokyo, to itself.

As concerns FOMA phone handsets, most makers appear to have decided to use uITRON (read as mu-ITRON) spec-based OS software in their products, but a few are said to be opting for the EPOC OS developed by Symbian Ltd. of the U.K.
