A team of engineers from NASA's Glenn Research Center in Cleveland founded TG
Embedded Systems in 1999. TG's initial work is primarily in feasibility and
conceptual design studies for interconnecting satellite transmission
technologies to the Internet. TG's projects have grown from small engagements to
larger ones over time as the TG team's experience and skills have grown.
1999:
TG Embedded Systems, LLC is organized by a group of engineers with NASA flight
and ground software experience, driven to deliver challenging communications
systems solutions. Work also commences on development of firmware for a
feature-rich, yet cost-effective fire alarm control panel, for a leading fire
panel OEM.
2000:
Development of satellite transceiver driver code for Windows platform. Started
planning and early design work for stand-alone, Linux-based satellite terminal.
Performed feasibility study for credit card transaction processing via wireless
networks. Opened office at Gaensslen Place, a 19th-century renovated mansion in
Cleveland's historic Midtown area.
2001:
Continued development of satellite transceiver drivers for Windows and Linux,
and development of stand-alone satellite terminal system. Numerous trips to
Europe and Asia to perform on-site testing of prototype hardware and software
with other system vendors. Satellite system commences commercial operations in
November 2001. Late in the year, began conceptual design work for next
generation Gateway ground systems, designed for a total capacity of 40 Gbps.
Expanded offices at Gaensslen Place at mid-year.
2002:
Continued development and refinement of satellite terminal system. Work expands
to provide direct support of satellite ground system operations as user base
grows. Completed baseline satellite Gateway ground system design, with a large
cost advantage over competing proposals. Work resumed and progressed steadily on
fire alarm control panel firmware development; system nearing UL submission at
end-of-year. Developed the Orchid-100, a Wireless Internet Link Device (WILD)
product, to provide economical Internet access via wireless networks.
