Lumos Technologies Ships LEAP Element Access Server, One of the First Large-Scale Java Applications for Telecommunications Management.LOS ANGELES--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nov. 18, 1997--Lumos Technologies Inc., a leading developer of telecommunications-management applications, announced the immediate coORBA environment to manage today's most prevalrojects. That approach can no longer keep pace, leaving an ever-increasing gap between the power of these networks and the systems used to manage them. The Lumo products that leverage CORBA (Common Object Request Broker Architecture) A software-based interface from the Object Management Group (OMG) that allows software modules (objects) to communicate with each other no matter where they are located on a private network or the global and Java to manaSun Microsystems' JavaSoft division. ``LEAP EASS EASS Ephrata Area Social Services (Ephrata, Pennsylvania) EASS Embedded Application Security System (HP & Wave Systems) EASS Earth and Space Sciences EASS Engine Automatic Start System in such a short space of time.'' Both Java and CORBA are viewed as the most promising technologies for future telecommunications management. However, the around-e test for any application environment. said Conor Dowling, vice president of businesst hardened skeptics.'' About the LEAP EAS (Electronic Article Surveillance) A security system for preventing theft in retail stores that uses disposable label tags or reusable hard tags attached to the merchandise. Most SONET and Access Network Elements (NE) are controlled using Transaction Language 1 (TL1), an ASCII ASCII or American Standard Code for Information Interchange, a set of codes used to represent letters, numbers, a few symbols, and control characters. Originally designed for teletype operations, it has found wide application in computers. management protocol defined by Bellcore. The LEAP EAS shields management applications from TL1 and presents them with a CORBA object-oriented interface. This interface is based on the Telecommunication Management Network (TMN (Telecommunications Management Network) A set of international standards for network management from the ITU. It is used by large carriers such as Sprint, Verizon and AT&T. ) standards defined by the ITU (International Telecommunication Union, Geneva, Switzerland, www.itu.ch) A telecommunications standards body that is under the auspices of the United Nations. Comprising more than 185 member countries, the ITU sets standards for global telecom networks. . The EAS is configured using ``LEAP Adapters.'' Adapters are built by the TL1 Workshop, a graphical environment with which a user describes the TL1 interface of an NE. Based on these descriptions, the Workshop produces an Adapter to configure the EAS for communication with that network element. Applications for the EAS range from simple craft terminals shipped with every NE to element-access services for the next generation of CORBA-enabled operations support systems Operations Support Systems (also called Operational Support Systems or OSS) are computer systems used by telecommunications service providers. The term OSS most frequently describes "network systems" dealing with the telecom network itself, supporting processes such (OSS). Availability The LEAP EAS is available immediately on Windows/NT, Sun Solaris and HP/UX HP/UX Hewlett-Packard UNIX operating system HP/UX Unexploded Human Particulate Operating System from Lumos. Lumos has also launched a free, 30-day evaluation program. Further information is directly available from Lumos on the Internet at http://www.lumos.com, or by sending an e-mail to sales@lumos.com Lumos Technologies was founded to bring open-enterprise technologies to telecommunications management. Lumos Element Access Products (LEAP) allow telecommunications networks to be managed from distributed-object environments using Java and CORBA. Applications range from craft terminals to full-scale operational support systems (OSS). The company is based in Los Angeles.
