Led by HP’s use of ThreadX in their line of ink-jet and All-In-One printers, and Broadcom’s use of ThreadX in millions of their wireless networking SoCs, ThreadX has consistently ranked among the most widely deployed operating systems for embedded devices.
ThreadX has been used to power a wide variety of products, from entertaining consumer electronics to life-saving medical devices:

“In the past year, we’ve seen another 100 million units added to our total deployments, largely due to the explosive growth of high-volume Bluetooth and 802.11 wireless networking applications that use ThreadX for RF communications,” commented William E. Lamie, president of Express Logic. “Our actual count may in fact be much higher, since many of our customers do not make such volume shipment figures available.”
