INTERPHASE: ENHANCED SOFTWARE DEV SUITES TO ASSIST WITH NEXT GEN I/O SYSTEM DESIGN.Interphase Corporation (NASDAQ NASDAQ in full National Association of Securities Dealers Automated Quotations U.S. market for over-the-counter securities. Established in 1971 by the National Association of Securities Dealers (NASD), NASDAQ is an automated quotation system that reports on : INPH), an international supplier of next-generation I/O (Input/Output) The transfer of data between the CPU and a peripheral device. Every transfer is an output from one device and an input to another. See PC input/output. I/O - Input/Output networking technologies, has announced the availability of iWARE[TM], an enhanced package of software tools to assist with board-level software integration in next generation telecommunications I/O development. Designed to maximize performance, reduce costs and shorten the development cycle, iWARE software development suites provide the least amount of complexity and effort on the part of design teams to enable seamless integration. The iWARE software development suite is available in several configurations, each suited to work in conjunction with a specific communication environment. Each iWARE package contains multiple development tools, each tailored to the needs of different integration types. The suites include Interphase-developed firmware protocol stacks (which are accessible via APIs provided by Interphase), Interphase's own real-time kernel for maximum protocol processing performance, base drivers for selected operating systems, configuration and diagnostic utilities, clear and comprehensive documentation and sample programs. Additional suite versions for VxWorks, Solaris, and Linux are available for multiple Interphase iSPAN[TM] communications controllers. In addition, iWARE protocol modules are offered for ATM AAL5, ATM AAL2, SS7 MTP1/2, Frame Relay, PPP (Point-to-Point Protocol) The most popular method for transporting IP packets over a serial link between the user and the ISP. Developed in 1994 by the IETF and superseding the SLIP protocol, PPP establishes the session between the user's computer and the ISP using , HDLC (High-level Data Link Control) A data link protocol from ISO for point-to-point communications over serial links. Derived from IBM's SDLC protocol, HDLC has been the basis for numerous protocols including X.25, ISDN, T1, SS7, GSM, CDPD, PPP and others. and IP/Ethernet, along with convergence layer software for third party protocol stacks, such as Hughes Software Systems Hughes Software Systems Limited (HSS), previously known as Flextronics Software Systems Limited (FSS) now known as Aricent was incorporated in India on December 30, 1991 with Hughes Network Systems (HNS), a unit of Hughes Electronics Corporation (HUGHES), USA as its principal . "We are impressed with the ease of use of the Interphase iWARE software," said Manoranjan Mohapatra, Executive Vice President and 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. of Hughes Software Systems, "and when combined with our 3G software solutions, iWARE provides rapid integrations for our joint customers." Interphase and Hughes ATM and SS7 software has already been integrated for Interphase's 6535 T1/E1 and 4532 ATM OC-3/STM-1 iSPAN controllers, and is currently available. "We are pleased to release our new iWARE software development suites," said Greg Kalush, CEO (1) (Chief Executive Officer) The highest individual in command of an organization. Typically the president of the company, the CEO reports to the Chairman of the Board. and President of Interphase Corporation. "iWARE is designed to optimize I/O performance as well as dramatically reduce telecommunication equipment manufacturers' software development efforts, so our customers will benefit greatly by using these software suites along with our board-level products." Each iWARE software development suite offers "plug-configure-and-play" capability and software portability between most Interphase products because of its common API architecture. Interphase protocol stack modules for various protocols are available including integrated upper layers from third-party stack vendor partners. Interphase also offers complete software integrations and custom software development to its customers through its Professional Services team. iWARE software development suites are currently available and pricing is dependent upon configuration needs. Interphase Corporation designs and delivers high performance communications products and services for telecommunications and computer and telecommunication networks. The company's products connect computer and telecommunication servers to Wide Area Networks (WANs), Local Area Networks (LANs), and Storage Area Networks (SANs) using Asynchronous Transfer Mode See ATM.
