About Ultimate Solutions Inc. (USI)

Ultimate Solutions was founded in 1999 with the vision to provide developers of embedded systems with a single channel to procure a wide spectrum of professional development tools. USI's product lines target the most commonly used general purpose CPUs and programmable DSPs available in the market. As new devices emerge, USI will continue to expand its offering to meet the demands of next generation designs.

With all the vendors and tools available to embedded developers today, the task to select the right tools for the job can be time consuming and for many, overwhelming. At USI, we have done the legwork for you to insure that as developers, you will spend your time debugging your platform, not your tools.

Unlike many semi-distributors whose core competency is to sell chips, USI's knowledgeable Sales Engineers are well versed in selling development tools. They understand the questions to ask to properly configure the right tools at the right price for your embedded development environment. For those of you who wait until the last minute to buy your tools, USI is a stocking distributor and in most cases can ship product off the shelf. For more USI please visit www.ultsol.com
