XSD Tools for Java V1.0 and XSD Tools for C V1.0 - Available now

December 2004

Atos Origin announces the immediate availability of its new world-class MARBEN™ XSD Tools product that will boost the value of your XML based-application. MARBEN™ XSD Tools provide a standardized solution for fast encoding of XML data into a highly compact binary format. It thus broadens the scope of your XML based applications by allowing exchanges of XML data in environment where it was difficult and costly before, such as wireless, low-bandwidth network or with resources-constrained embedded systems. It encompasses a comprehensive set of tools to compact XML data, to speed up XML data transfers and XML data processing and so it improves the global performances of your XML-based application.

MARBEN™ XSD Tools take benefit from the proven and mature ASN.1 technology, with a long record of reliability and intensive use in the field that ensures interoperability.

MARBEN™ XSD Tools use schema-based compression methods that offer better size compression and faster processing than standard compression algorithms (as for instance zip). The XSD Tools use the knowledge of the structure, the content and the semantics of the XML data that are described in an XML schema in order to compress the data. Based on the input XML schema, the XSD tools can generate different application programming interfaces (C or Java) that will allow accessing the various ASN.1 binary encoding/decoding engines (BER,DER, PER).

July 2003 - OSIAM Distributed CLNP Forwarding feature

Atos Origin enhanced its MARBEN™ SONET/SDH protocol suite with a Distributed CLNP Forwarding capability.
This new feature allows high-end SONET/SDH ADM and Cross-Connect equipment to take benefit from their distributed architecture by splitting the routing and the forwarding functions of the CLNP based DCC Network. Routing is kept on the main controller whereas forwarding can be distributed on all line cards.
Therefore, most of the network traffic processing is performed by line cards increasing network throughput and reducing main controller resources consumption.
  • Based on an innovative cache mechanism of network routes, the OSIAM Distributed CLNP Forwarding feature reduces the footprint on line cards,
  • Thanks to its open concept, it is compatible with all kinds of communication layers between boards (reliable or not)
  • Combined with the OSIAM Network Entity Hot-Standby feature, your DCC has never been so resilient and efficient.

August 2002 - ASNSDK V4.0

The latest version of MARBEN™ ASNSDK is now available. This new version brings out two new components:
  • A basic and canonical XER encoding/decoding engine. This new engine fully conforms to the ITU-T recommendation X.693 (2001). It provides a C++ API, which is identical to the one used for BER, DER and PER engines. Thus, users can easily convert BER, DER and PER binary encoding into XML.
  • A Graphical User Interface for the ASN.1 compiler. The ASNSDK GUI is a powerful environment that enables you to easily construct, compile and debug your ASN.1 description, working on a friendly desktop.
Several improvements have also been made concerning value trace mechanism, ASN.1 constraints checking and BER toolkit.

Atos Origin Develops Innovative Solutions with Telecom OEMs to Meet the UMTS Challenge

Paris, France - November 10, 2000 -Atos Origin, a leading European IT services provider, is delivering innovative solutions to meet new telecom OEM requirements and support transition to the UMTS networks expected to revolutionize the telecom industry by 2002.

Atos Origin Strengths in the UMTS Market :

  • Teams of specialists working within the R&D labs of telecom OEMs.
  • Extensive technical skills in telecommunications, ranging from systems architecture, call processing (BSC, RNC) and network management (OMC) to data transmission protocols (ASN1).
  • A world-class UMTS OEM customer base (including Lucent, Nortel and Motorola) and experience in working with many telecom operators (France Telecom, Cegetel, Bouygues, DT Mobil...)
  • World-wide coverage.

Management of Large-Scale UMTS Network Projects

Atos Origin leverages its recognized technological expertise to manage UMTS projects and offer OEMs a full range of services from systems architecture and development to integration/validation and deployment. This ability to provide strong support in all UMTS areas represents a major benefit for OEMs, enabling them to :

  • Diminish risks associated with product installation and use.
  • Benefit from Atos Origin expertise in telecommunications.
  • Access worldwide technical support resources.

Dedicated Wireless Technology Software

Atos Origin has developed software specifically for UMTS applications, including a suite of MARBEN™ wireless telecom products supplied to such telecom OEMs as Nortel, Matra, Motorola and Lucent, as well as to telecom carriers, computer manufacturers (Compaq/Digital, IBM, SUN), banks and government organizations. MARBEN™ products enjoy a solid reputation for portability and robustness, with the capability to meet the performance and reliability requirements of telecom networks.

UMTS Specialists in OEM R&D Centers

Atos Origin quickly forged a position in the telecom OEM services market with dedicated network management products and extensive technical expertise, starting with the first mobile phone networks up to the current GSM and other digital networks. Its telecom specialists maintain a strong presence in the UMTS R&D centers of telecom OEMs and develop specialist services in the following upstream areas:

  • Call processing (BSC, PCU, RNC, Node B).
  • Technical architecture.
  • Network management (OMC).
  • Protocol encoding (ASN.1).
  • Support for the deployment of pilot networks.

Mobile Internet Services and the UMTS Challenge

The convergence of wireless and Internet technologies and their widespread use have driven a major surge in demand for telecom services. The introduction of UMTS as the third-generation mobile phone standard is therefore expected to revolutionize the delivery of multimedia services and applications.

UMTS should facilitate wireless Internet access and avoid overloading the capacity of mobile phone networks, while providing enhanced technical performance. Based on Internet-compatible technologies, the new UMTS networks will enable high data transmission rates of up to 2 MB/s with full multimedia capability and will radically transform the internal structure of mobile communication networks and terminals.

Abbreviations

ASN.1 - Abstract Syntax Notation One (ASN.1) is a language that describes data structures to enable communication among heterogeneous systems. It is widely used in telecommunications for billing, network management, voice over IP, secure transactions and other functions. In UMTS networks, ASN.1 is used to encode exchanged messages. An encoding/decoding system is therefore implemented on each terminal and network infrastructure (RNC, Node B, Core Network), which requires ASN.1 products to meet specific performance and memory allocation specifications of each type of equipment concerned.

BSC - A Base Station Controller. A BSC is a switching unit that acts as an interface between the network and the BTSs it controls.

BTS - A Base Transceiver Station. A BTS is used for transmission and reception in a GSM mobile phone system.

Node B - The equivalent of a BTS in UMTS technology.

OMC - An Operation and Maintenance Center. An OMC is used to manage GSM network elements.

RNC - A Radio Network Controller. An RNC is the UMTS equivalent of a BSC.

UMTS - Universal Mobile Transmission System.
