The Dual Mode Protocol Stack Family
Comneon’s Dual Mode (Multi Mode Type II) Protocol Stack Family encompasses solutions compliant with 3GPP GSM, GPRS, EDGE and WCDMA FDD specifications. More than 17 years’ experience of providing mature protocol stacks together with intimate knowledge of Second Generation (2G) and Third Generation (3G) UMTS/WCDMA specifications enable Comneon to offer state-of-the-art protocol stack software for mobile platforms to customers worldwide. Comneon’s 3G UMTS Protocol Stack Software Comneon offers a 3G Dual Mode Protocol Stack Family based on valuable experience in successful development and deployment of 2G GSM/GPRS/EDGE Protocol Stack Software. Starting with a 3GPP Release ’99 WCDMA Stack deployed in mass-production since mid 2006, Comneon delivered a complete Release 5 HSDPA solution (mass production since Q2 2008), a Release 6 HSUPA version and, most recently, a first Release 7 implementation covering HSPA+ and EDGE Evolution standards. Latest developments aim to upgrade the package towards Release 8 Long Term Evolution (LTE) in the near future to secure the investment of our customers in the long run.
Comneon’s solution allows users to benefit from the high data rates of WCDMA or even higher as provided by HSDPA/HSUPA – in metropolitan areas and to seamlessly switch over to legacy GSM, GPRS, or EDGE networks in areas not yet covered by 3G networks. Comneon’s 3G Dual Mode Protocol Stack Family is proven, highly integrated, cost-efficient, modular and ready for porting. Comneon’s Protocol Stack products are augmented by our IMS Device Framework to pave the way towards all-IP networks and Fixed Mobile Convergence. Modular architecture supports single mode configurations The key modules are: • Non Access Stratum • UMTS Access Stratum • GSM/GPRS/EDGE Access Stratum • UMTS Layer 1 Control • GSM/GPRS/EDGE Layer 1 Control Advantages Our complete 3G Dual Mode Protocol Stack Solution provides a range of advantages, including: • Portability to different hardware platforms is one of the key design criteria. • Abstraction layers provided for both hardware and operating system independency. • Efficient use of Operating System resources and common memory to achieve a memory-efficient solution. • Continuous enhancement of the 3G Dual Mode Protocol Stack product roadmap in line with 3GPP Specification Releases. • Comprehensive host and target test environments to perform sub-component and system tests to comply with 3GPP conformance requirements. • Regular and extensive Conformance Testing (GCF/ PTCRB) IOT and Field Testing to ensure for high quality products. • Seamless integration with Comneon’s IMS Device Framework. • Dedicated customer support services with proven track record of bringing customer products to the market.
