Technologies we provide

Embedded firmware

We use C, C++ and Assembler to get the most out of limited memory and limited processing power.  You may be surprised how much functionality can be squeezed into 64 kbytes of code space.  For the lightest weight device, we write code to run without an operating system.  For more complex projects, we use Linux, Windows CE, or various real-time operating systems. 

Successful Scala Systems embedded projects have included these technologies:

  • GPS navigation
  • Encryption
  • Data acquisition
  • Biometrics
  • Radio networks
  • USB communication

Desktop applications

We have been building software for multiple platforms for over 20 years.  We use C++ and Java to write lean and fast Unix/Linux, Windows and Macintosh applications. 

Successful Scala Systems desktop projects have included these technologies:

  • Data acquisition, analysis and modeling
  • Computer-aided design and manufacturing
  • Financial transactions
  • Networking

Server software

There are many ways to architect client-server software.  We will design the system that best suits your needs. 

In-house devices can connect to a local server with TCP/IP or serial networks.  The server can then expose a user interface on the server computer directly, or remotely via TCP/IP.  Remote systems often use TCP/IP over the internet for communications. 

When using TCP/IP networks for user access to a server, it often makes sense to leverage the HTTP protocol.  Your custom server acts as a web server.  This simplifies the server software and allows ordinary browsers to replace custom client software.  Improvements in web technology (java servlets & JSP, AJAX, and Flex) are making web applications more powerful and attractive. 

Successful Scala Systems server projects have included these technologies:

  • TCP/IP client and server software
  • Radio-network controller
  • Web applications - sample: Little Frog Gallery
  • Database back-ends
  • SOAP web services
