Description

6WIND is a privately held company created in 2000 after a spin-out from Thales, world leader in cutting edge electronics serving the aerospace, defence, and security markets. The company's history is naturally rooted within a solid culture of industry-proven software innovation in communication systems design for defense and electronics networking.

Since its inception, 6WIND has received strong backing from world class investors and shareholders, including Sofinnova Partners, CDC Entreprises Innovation, TechFund Europe and US, ACE Management, and Thales. It has shown dynamic growth with solid track records, working with major networking equipment providers and system integrators in Europe and Asia, such as Alcatel, Alstom, Arkoon, CTC, Konka, Mercury, Modacom, Samsung Electronics and Thales. Deployment of its software technology extends to international networking projects for NATO, CNES, European Space Agency, French MoD, China Telecom, KDDI and Korea Telecom just to name a few.

The cutting edge development and continuous innovation by 6WIND on new IP technologies and innovative software architectures led to the success of 6WINDGateÔ, the first comprehensive IP networking software available off-the-shelf with built-in XML-based management layer and the first application-ready networking software for Multi-Core Network Processor technology.

6WIND belongs to a dynamic ecosystem of major industry leaders (including chip-set manufacturers, OEM board vendors, OS and application providers), notable R&D labs, open source communities and standardization bodies, enabling its software technology to benefit from latest IP networking standards and enhancements, and guaranteeing its cutting edge evolution. The 6WINDGateÔ products are the result of skilful leveraging of open source developments with in-house patented innovations.

The company's ongoing R&D efforts are further complemented by strategic partnerships and alliances with leading research institutes. 6WIND was the first European-based networking technology to be granted the IPv6-ready logo.
