"Lynx Real-Time Systems develops embedded, real-time operating systems for applications that target telecommunications. The company already offers a suite of embedded Linux products, such as BlueCat Linux from Lynx, which supports Intel's x86 architecture."

"Intel has been steadily increasing its investments in networking and telecommunications technologies recently. In the last few weeks, the chip giant purchased Basis Communications for $450 million with plans to incorporate Basis' network-processor technology into Intel's IX architecture."
