Effnet and RMI Corporation Announce Collaboration
Effnet AB, the leading provider of header compression solutions, and RMI
Corporation (RMI), a leading supplier of processor based solutions for
networking, communications and consumer applications, today announced that they
have collaborated to bring out a joint solution of Effnet ROHCTM on RMI's XLR
and XLS Processors.
Effnet has ported its Effnet ROHCTM software solution to RMI's XLR and XLS
Processors and optimized the performance on this multi-core, multi-threaded
architecture. Exceptional performance is achieved via the use of RMI's XLR and
XLS hardware threading, which acts as individual accelerators or virtual CPUs.
OEMs who design the XLR and XLS processors into various telecom system solutions
can thereby offer customers a compelling solution by licensing Header
Compression software from Effnet.
Effnet ROHCTM is the leading software solution for header compression based on
the IETF standard RFC3095 and supports multiple other standards from 3GPP,
3GPP2, WiMAX etc. Effnet ROHCTM is aimed at helping customers to improve
capacity and reduce costs of their networks. Effnet ROHCTM is a highly portable
solution with a well defined programming interface which facilitates easy and
speedy integration for customers. The intelligent pattern detection algorithms
provide maximum compression efficiency coupled with high robustness. Effnet
ROHCTM is an ideal solution for wireless networks including satellite networks
having links with high delay.
RMI's XLR and XLS Processors provide industry-standard interfaces and an
extensive set of connectivity options. The XLR and XLS Processors combine the
power of innovative multiprocessing, multi-threaded architecture with the
simplicity of an enhanced leading edge, general purpose MIPS64™ machine enabling
wire speed, software-driven applications across multiple platforms. RMI's XLR
and XLS Processor families are cost effective, single-chip solutions providing a
key building block for applications such as telecommunications, integrated
network security, web services, virtualized storage, server offload and
intelligent routing and switching systems. "By teaming with Effnet, we will be able to offer our customers a leading header
compression solution for 3rd generation wireless networks including WiMAX and
3GPP LTE. The XLR and XLS processors provide multi-core and multi-threaded
platforms with many hardware acceleration features to maximise the performance
of Effnet ROHCTM. It was a quick and easy process to port Effnet ROHCTM to our
XLR and XLS platforms with excellent support services provided by Effnet", says
Mark Litvack, Director Business Development, RMI. "We are impressed with the RMI XLR and XLS Processor lines, particularly the
ease of scaling the design for the multi-core and multi-threaded platform. The
optimized performance of the joint solution will meet the requirements of next
generation wireless networks. RMI's high performance and power efficient
solutions are great compliments to Effnet's highly efficient, robust and value
adding solution.", says Joakim Enerstam, Deputy Managing Director, Effnet AB.
