BlackBerry QNX and Harman QNX are both subsidiaries of their respective parent companies, BlackBerry Limited and Harman International Industries. Both companies supply software solutions for embedded systems, including the QNX real-time operating system. However, there are some differences between the two companies. It's worth noting that Harman itself is now a subsidiary of Samsung.
BlackBerry QNX is primarily focused on developing and supplying software solutions for the automotive industry, with a particular emphasis on safety and security. The company's software is used in a wide range of applications, including advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS), digital instrument clusters, and infotainment systems. BlackBerry QNX is also involved in other industries, such as medical devices, industrial automation, and rail transportation.
Harman QNX, on the other hand, is primarily focused on developing and supplying software solutions for the automotive infotainment market. The company's software is used to power advanced multimedia systems in vehicles, including music and video playback, navigation, and other features. Harman QNX also offers a range of other connected car solutions, such as telematics and over-the-air (OTA) software updates.
While both companies are focused on providing software solutions for embedded systems, their specific areas of expertise and the industries they serve are somewhat different. However, both companies leverage the QNX real-time operating system and share a commitment to quality and reliability in their products.
