Effnet and RMI—Better Architecture Through Collaboration

Collaboration usually is a win-win situation. Such is especially true when Effnet AB and RMI Corporation decided to pool their talents. Effnet AB provides header compression solutions—RMI Corporation (RMI) supplies processor based solutions for networking, communications and consumer applications. Now both companies have collaborated to create a joint solution with Effnet ROHC on RMI’s XLR and XLS Processors. The actual process involves Effnet ROHC software solution that is ported to RMI’s XLR and XLS Processors, which optimizes the performance on this multi-core, multi-threaded architecture. Enhanced performance results via the use of RMI’s XLR and XLS hardware threading, which acts as individual accelerators or virtual CPUs. Effnet ROHC helps customers to improve capacity and reduce costs of their networks. Effnet ROHC is a highly portable solution with a well-defined programming interface that facilitates easy and speedy integration for customers, and serves as a solution for wireless networks including satellite networks having links with high delay.



This also proves to be a positive scenario for the OEMS (Original Equipment Manufacturers) who design the XLR and XLS processors into various telecom system solutions. Now they can offer customers a compelling solution by licensing Header Compression software from Effnet. Effnet ROHC is a leading software solution for header compression based on the IETF standard RFC3095 and supports multiple other standards from 3GPP, 3GPP2, WiMAX and such. The intelligent pattern detection algorithms provide maximum compression efficiency coupled with high robustness. Effnet can now provide their customers with a leading header compression solution for 3gen 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 maximize the performance of Effnet ROHC—Bromma, Sweden and Cupertino, California
