Continuous Computing(R) Powers RadioFrame Networks' Pico/Femtocell 3G Wireless Base Stations.


Expertise in NGN (Next Generation Networks) An umbrella term for mixed voice and data networks running over the IP protocol. See IP Multimedia Subsystem.  and Professional Services Enables Wireless Infrastructure Vendor to Manage Costs and Meet Time-To-Market Requirements

ORLANDO, Fla. & SAN DIEGO -- Continuous Computing([R]), global provider of integrated systems and services that enable telecom equipment manufacturers to rapidly deploy Next Generation Networks (NGN), today announced that RadioFrame Networks has selected an integrated bundle of Continuous Computing products and services - including Trillium([R]) Professional Services, Trillium protocol software, and fully integrated Node B system software - for the development of a high-speed downlink packet access


    High-Speed Downlink Packet Access (HSDPA) is a 3G (third generation) mobile telephony communications protocol in the High-Speed Packet Access (HSPA) family, which allows networks based on Universal Mobile Telecommunications System (UMTS) to have higher data
     (HSDPA (High Speed Downlink Packet Access) See HSPA. ) enabled 3G Node B picocell base station. RadioFrame Networks is a leader in IP-based picocell and femtocell solutions for the mobile and wireless marketplace.

    RadioFrame Networks turned to Continuous Computing for its expertise in "NGN-Ready" Trillium protocol software stacks and its ability to provide onsite and offsite telecom infrastructure consulting to assist RadioFrame in the development of picocell and femtocell base stations. Picocells and femtocells provide excellent alternatives to increase and improve coverage indoors where cellular signals may be low or absent. Extended coverage is achieved by using broadband or digital subscriber line See DSL.

    (communications, protocol) Digital Subscriber Line - (DSL, or Digital Subscriber Loop, xDSL - see below) A family of digital telecommunications protocols designed to allow high speed data communication over the existing copper telephone lines between end-users and
     (DSL) connections to connect from the subscriber site to the carrier's network.

    "As RadioFrame Networks plays a leading role in the rapidly developing picocell and femtocell market, our products help operators obtain better coverage, increase bandwidth, and improve quality of service," said Jeff Brown, president and chief executive officer of RadioFrame Networks. "Our relationship with Continuous Computing has reduced our time to market, thereby helping us mitigate risk and meet aggressive timeline and cost expectations."

    RadioFrame Networks' Node B System includes the integration of several Continuous Computing protocol software stacks, including Medium Access Control - Broadcast (MAC-B), 3GPP Framing Protocol (FP), Medium Access Control - High speed (MAC-Hs), Stream Control Transport Protocol (SCTP (1) (Stream Control Transmission Protocol) An alternative to TCP that supports multiple transmission paths. Designed to facilitate SS7 signaling over TCP/IP, SCTP supports multiple IP addresses from the same host (multihomed host) and treats the data ), and User Datagram Protocol See UDP.

    (protocol) User Datagram Protocol - (UDP) Internet standard network layer, transport layer and session layer protocols which provide simple but unreliable datagram services. UDP is defined in STD 6, RFC 768.
     (UDP UDP (uridine diphosphate): see uracil.


    (User Datagram Protocol) A protocol within the TCP/IP protocol suite that is used in place of TCP when a reliable delivery is not required.
    ) Transport protocols. The use of these software protocol stacks, combined with the onsite / offsite expertise of Trillium Professional Services, sped up the completion of RadioFrame Networks' 3G Node B picocell base station project.

    "RadioFrame Networks is well-known amongst telecom equipment manufacturers as an innovator in wireless infrastructure solutions," said Mike Dagenais, chief executive officer of Continuous Computing. "By utilizing Continuous Computing's combination of Trillium Professional Services and Trillium protocol software, RadioFrame Networks was able to deliver a robust product on time and with performance and interoperability differentiation to its customers."

    RadioFrame Networks' innovative 3G Node B solution is a Global System for Mobile Communications (communications) Global System for Mobile Communications - (GSM, originally "Groupe de travail Sp?ciale pour les services Mobiles") One of the major standards for digital cellular communications, in use in over 60 countries and serving over one billion subscribers.  (GSM) service and General Packet Radio Service (GPRS (General Packet Radio Service) The first high-speed digital data service provided by cellular carriers that used the GSM technology. GPRS added a packet-switched channel to GSM, which uses dedicated, circuit-switched channels for voice conversations. ) base station product designed to increase the data rates required to support wireless applications such as mobile TV, streaming music, and presence-enabled multimedia messaging through the HSDPA network.
