An operating system to manage batteries would work much like an operating system for your computer or cell phone: it coordinates the communications between the hardware and the apps to make sure the various programs, such as those for taking photos and browsing the Internet in the case of cell phones, are running well and do not interfere with each other.
Cisco's unified communications systems and TelePresence hardware, for instance, which are designed to facilitate easy remote conferencing, may be seen as a cost-cutting measure to replace expensive travel as fuel prices rise.
The EnterpriseMobility system uses software written by Norwood Systems, Bluetooth-enabled hardware from Axis Communications in its base stations, Cambridge Silicon Radio for chips, and L.M.
The new joint radios allow warfighters to use the same piece of hardware for diverse communications by simply porting in more computer code, the same way you might add applications to a laptop computer.
