IMPORTANT FOR YOUR PLANNING
Our standard protocol stacks are “off-the-shelf” products and therefore directly available and ready for use. However, if your desired Protocol Stack is not on our "shelf", please remember to inquire with us at an early stage. If a protocol stack involves development effort, effort for porting, etc., these expenses have to be planned accordingly and result in lead times.
secure your Investment
STACKFORCE offers the option to deposit a source code copy of a previously purchased protocol stack at an escrow account administrated by TÜV SÜD Product Service GmbH.
