Symtavision strives to become a synonym for quality and reliability in designing complex real-time systems.

Symtavision pursues this goal by providing outstanding solutions for all timing issues in real-time operating systems and networked embedded system.

Symtavision was founded May 2005 as a spin-off from the Institute of Computer and Communication Network Engineering at the Technical University of Braunschweig, Germany. The SymTA/S software and technology is the result of many years of research and development there, before it was taken over by Symtavision.
