6WIND Incorporates ENST's Robust IP-Header Compression Technology to Enable Richer Voice and Video Communications over Mobile Networks.PARIS Paris, in Greek mythology Paris or Alexander, in Greek mythology, son of Priam and Hecuba and brother of Hector. Because it was prophesied that he would cause the destruction of Troy, Paris was abandoned on Mt. -- 6WIND (www.6wind.com), a pioneer in advanced IP networking software technologies, and ENST ENST Ecole Nationale Superieure des Telecommunications (Paris, France) , a top research and education institution for ICT (1) (Information and Communications Technology) An umbrella term for the information technology field. See IT. (2) (International Computers and Tabulators) See ICL. 1. (testing) ICT - In Circuit Test. in France, announced today, an agreement allowing 6WIND to incorporate ENST's Robust IP-Header Compression technology (known as ROHC ROHC Robust Header Compression (IETF) ) within the 6WINDGate(TM) software. The ROHC mechanism will complement 6WINDGate's software offering to network equipment makers of mobile infrastructures providing the next generation of services combining richer quality voice and video communications. Developed by ENST's multimedia services and networking department, the ROHC mechanism is capable of up to 95 percent compression of IP headers and 50 percent of packet compression, freeing up bandwidth and improving the efficiency of radio links for better quality voice, audio and video transmissions over IP. Compliant with the IETF See Internet Engineering Task Force. IETF - Internet Engineering Task Force standard, RFC (Request For Comments) A document that describes the specifications for a recommended technology. Although the word "request" is in the title, if the specification is ratified, it becomes a standards document. 3095, it is a complete scheme for IP header compression including IPv4 and IPv6 as well as UDP/RTP packet compression. ROHC brings tremendous advantages for network environments where bandwidth is limited or costly, as is the case for cellular or satellite links. Particularly adept at improving real time transmission and enhancing the quality of service by limiting packet loss, it opens up new revenue opportunities for 3G mobile operators offering voice-audio-video user services. "Our partnership with 6WIND illustrates the concrete value of ENST's research and serves as a further impetus to continue developing promising networking technologies that meet new market demands as a result of converging fixed and mobile networks," said Jean Le Traon, Director of Corporate Relations for ENST. "This partnership marks another 6WIND-ENST collaboration that has endured through time. In the course of a joint project sponsored by the European Space Agency European Space Agency (ESA), multinational agency dedicated to the promotion, for exclusively peaceful purposes, of cooperation among European states in space research and technology. , we had the opportunity of experiencing first-hand the benefits of ROHC which made the satellite link more reliable while reducing the cost of transmission. We believe therefore, in its great potential for optimizing the bandwidth and IP packet transmission over radio spectrums of a 3G mobile network and are happy that ENST agreed to have it commercially available through our software, 6WINDGate," said Eric Carmes, Chief Operating Officer Chief Operating Officer (COO) The officer of a firm responsible for day-to-day management, usually the president or an executive vice-president. and Co-Founder of 6WIND.
