Case Studies
Accelerating Time to Market
Client: Internal
Time-to-market is a commonly overheard buzzword, but in practice it is an essential factor in ensuring ongoing competitiveness in the fast-moving world of telecommunications and embedded devices. At Asidua, we constantly refine our consulting offering and improve capabilities with a view to providing maximum turnaround and delivery times, ensuring that our clients stay ahead of the curve. This case study deals with the question of how modern software innovations be utilized to reduce, or even eliminate, startup and maintenance overhead on a project.
Legacy Network Migration Architecture
Client: Virtual Access
Virtual Access, a leading supplier of managed network solutions, has developed an architecture for migration of legacy networks (X25, BiSync, etc) to next-generation network (NGN) topologies. Asidua’s Device Services Division played a key role in the development of the X.25 migration solution. Deploying our Embedded Telecoms Integration offering, Asidua set about drawing up a specification for presenting X.25 interfaces at the customer premises using ADSL as the connection to the central office.
Telephony Signalling Transport
Client: Major Telecoms Equipment Manufacturer
A major manufacturer of telecommunications and networking equipment engaged Asidua to implement support for Message Transfer Part 2 (MTP2) transport and optimisation on the Wintegra WinPath. MTP2 is a protocol in the SS7 protocol suite responsible for the reliable transmission of messages between signalling points. Asidua’s customised WinPath data plane software runs on the customer’s modular routing platform, performing tasks which are too processor-intensive to be performed on the host.
Embedded Linux Architecture Design & Support
Client: Major Telecoms Equipment Manufacturer
In the fast-paced device market where Asidua’s expertise is focussed, Linux has come to represent an excellent compromise between stability, performance, and development and deployment costs. In one recent case, one of Asidua’s customers required a fully functional Linux-based application suite, featuring dual redundant software banks, to be implemented for a small-footprint device with only 8MB of flash memory on board. This case study describes the technical challenges and how they were overcome.
Configuration Management & Build Systems
Client: Major Telecoms Equipment Manufacturer
In the fast-paced device market where Asidua’s clients are manufacturers & integrators at the leading edge of the markets they serve. Time to market is paramount, and this requires the implementation of fast software build and turnaround strategies which promote a fluid, rapid software development methodology which does not compromise software stability and reproducibility. Asidua’s ETI methodology has been designed with these requirements in mind and was recently successfully implemented for a major telecoms industry client.
