Positive signs for Effnet's ROHC
Effnet recently participated in "ROHC in the City", the fourth ROHC
interoperability test together with Ericsson, Acticom, ICR and IRISA
hosted by Acticom in Berlin. After one week of intensive testing, it is
clear that Effnet's ROHC implementation is of very high standard.
Previous interoperability tests were: "ROHC Bay Cough" at Roke Manor
hosted by Siemens, "ROHC in the Desert" in Tucson hosted by Effnet and
"Arctic ROHC" in Luleå hosted by Ericsson. Other attendees at these
tests have been Nokia and Panasonic. Effnet has attended all four
interoperability tests with consistently excellent results.
During recent meetings with operators in Europe it has become evident
that demand for ROHC will increase during 2003. One of Effnet's existing
ROHC customers also recently validated this positive market trend, by
ordering an updated version of ROHC for further integration into their
3G equipment.
Header Compression reduces the size of an IP packet header by removing
or shrinking header fields. When IP packet headers are compressed, more
of the packet's payload, or user data, is transferred in the same amount
of time thereby reducing the need for bandwidth. Header Compression
means faster, more reliable and lower cost services for wireless
Internet operators and customers.
Effnet ROHC is a software implementation based on IETF RFC 3095,
delivered as an ANSI C language reference implementation, which runs on
Sparc (Solaris), x86 (Linux, Windows, FreeBSD), and ARM7 but can easily
be ported to other platforms. Effnet ROHC can optionally be provided
with a test environment, HCSim, to validate operation when integrated
into the customer's target environment. A new major release of Effnet
ROHC will be launched early 2003.
