We at Tuxera are dedicated to developing products that are secure and resilient against the threats of the connected world. Interniche TCP/IP stack has been out there for decades enabling connectivity from consumer electronics to industrial and automotive use cases, but now it is time to move forward with more secure options, like with Tuxera TCP/IP stack which is formerly known as HCC-Embedded TCP/IP stack.

What is Interniche NicheStack TCP/IP

NicheStack TCP/IP is a communication stack that was developed by Interniche Technologies Inc., the Interniche TCP/IP stack was acquired by HCC-embedded, who is now part of Tuxera.
