Telecommunications Embedded Systems
ComTrade has over a decade of experience in the telecommunications industry, delivering over 100 telecom-related projects. At present telecom products encompass a wide array of embedded platforms and processors, which require cross domain expertise in embedded technologies as well as expertise in telecom industry. We have both. Our knowledge and experience result in quality and fast development of telecom products and solutions.
Expertise in Embedded Software Development and Telecom Expertise
We offer an expertise in embedded software development that was built during development and porting of firmware, BSP, device drivers, protocol stacks and application on leading embedded hardware and software platforms such as VxWorks, Embedded Linux, pSOS, OSE, Win CE, XP Embedded, and diverse processors (Intel, PPC, ARM, Freescale MPC and network processors).
Our telecom expertise includes POTS protocols as well as new telecom protocols that emerged together with the expansion and availability of internet.
We also provide professional verification and system testing services , beginning with test planning and test cases definition, test infrastructure setup and maintenance, followed by test execution and reporting, all aligned with project life cycle (SDLC).
Services and Domains of Expertise in Telecommunications
Our services and domains of expertise can be separated to three segments.
Mobile application/service implementation and development
- end user/service provisioning
- messaging (SMS, MMS)
- browsing (WAP, XHTML)
- voice (VoiceXML, ASR)
- embedded software in rich clients
- Symbian
- MS Windows CE, MS Pocket PC, MS SmartPhone
Custom application development – telecom operators
Java/J2EE and MS/.NET. Specific skills in:
- CRM and billing related application development
- service provisioning and activation
- product and service development
- product distribution (e.g. customer care portals, subscriber self-service portals)
Custom embedded Linux platform development
- Linux distribution selection, adaptation and optimization (footprint etc.)
- bootloader selection, adaptation and optimization
- BSP drivers development
- Linux services selection and configuration
- wide experience with adapting open-source projects for specific project needs
Use Case Examples
The following use cases confirm our strong expertise in the field of telecommunications.
Telecommunication Platform of the New Generation
We have initiated, researched and developed a prototype for a telecommunication platform, which could represent the base for a broad range of sophisticated transmission systems products. The project was developed for a major vendor and covered integration of TCP/IP protocol stack, integration of various synchronous and asynchronous interfaces (Ethernet, V.35, RS-232,), and various approaches to network management (web and SNMP based).
Prototype of Wireless IP Bluetooth Phone Based on Open Source
We have been involved in the development of a number of Bluetooth and VoIP (SIP and H.323) solutions and designs. Our latest development project in this area is BluePhone, which is based on open source solutions.
BluePhone is a VoIP telephone set consisting of:
- Bluetooth headset
- Bluetooth enabled PDA as a user interface: it is used to manipulate call and to establish conversation with correspondent; the correspondent can use any Internet telephony enabled device, such as a PC equipped with standard sound card, microphone and headphones/speakers, with application supporting VoIP
- Bluetooth VoIP gateway
Software modules for Bluetooth and for VoIP (SIP) are designed in such a way to allow their reuse in other designs and to allow them to be easily adapted to any other software/hardware architecture.
