Effnet Launches Solution to Increase Speed and Efficiency in 3G Mobile Systems

date: November 15, 2001

Effnet Group announces the release of its new product suite for improving the efficiency of wireless IP networks, such as 2.5 G and 3G mobile systems. The new product suite is called EffnetEdge Header Compression Suite for Mobile Networks. The products, which will begin shipping in this quarter, help manufacturers and operators to squeeze up to 300% more interactive content through the mobile phone infrastructure.

As the worldwide telephone industry moves toward deployment of high data- rate 2.5G and 3G mobile networks, the demands on the infrastructure will be tremendous. By using a technology called header compression, the IP packet header overhead in the communication can be reduced to a minimum, which leaves more capacity for the actual content. This is vital to enable glitch-free transport, especially for multimedia content such as interactive audio and video, and games.

The EffnetEdge Header Compression Suite for Mobile Networks includes the world's first commercial implementation of the Robust Header Compression (ROHC) protocol specified by the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF). Robust Header Compression is a vital component of the ETSI and 3GPP endorsed UMTS standards.

Recent industry initiatives aimed at accelerating the adoption of 3G, such as the open mobile services architecture announced this week, will also accelerate the demand for IP header compression in mobile networks. By enabling 3G mobile terminals and services to fully interoperate, these initiatives will allow full-scale interactive multimedia services to be sold into mass markets.

"Effnet has played a leading role in the development of header compression standards, and now we have delivered the first commercial header compression software for handsets and networks to the 2.5G and 3G market. The Effnet ROHC integrated test environment has proven itself by validating interoperability with major telecom manufacturers," says Örjan Grinndal, Effnet CEO. "We can now provide every mobile telephony player with a unique product that enables them to design IP header compression into existing and future UMTS-compliant products. This reaffirms our commitment to give customers a competitive edge -- the EffnetEdge."
