Cy-Solved accelerates design in of Cyan products by providing a ready to run solution that a customer can use to prototype and then easily modify using Cyan tools.This avoids competing at component level where margins are thin and only a few cents can determine the lowest successful bidder. A Cyan customer makes their own modification to a Cy-Solved solution resulting in a unique piece of application software, developed specifically by them, to provide them with an edge in their chosen markets.This can deliver dollars of value to the customer, a value that is only available when using Cyan MCU products. Cy-Solved incorporates ready to go solutions, software stacks, applications examples,modular software based on easy to use APIs, evaluation boards and production hardware modules from partners, all pulled together through Cyans free integrated development environment CyanIDE. Cy-Solved can be incorporated as-is into an application but also supports an ability to be easily customised either way, giving users a head start on the road to market and in many cases removing the need to understand the underlying technology.This is a critical advantage in the Chinese market where the supplier undertakes a large proportion of product design as a part of the vendor selection process.With Cy-Solved Cyan Asias distributors are all now equipped to quickly and easily provide customised solutions for each prospect thus enhancing Cyans competitiveness in the fastest moving and most price sensitive of markets. Currently available Cy-Solved applications include RF-Solved, USB-Solved, Ethernet-Solved and Motor Control-Solved all of which already allow Cyan to address a diverse range of markets including Automated Utility Metering, Remote Energy Metering, Asset Monitoring, White Goods, Security Systems, Industrial Controls and a wide range of Handheld Terminals.These markets can be directly addressed by Cyan during 2009 while additional Cy-Solved products, released during the year, will further extend the range of markets addressable by Cyan during 2009 and beyond.
