Positive Signs for Effnet's ROHC.Business Editors/High-Tech Writers STOCKHOLM, Sweden--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nov. 14, 2002 Effnet recently participated in "ROHC ROHC Robust Header Compression (IETF) in the City", the fourth ROHC interoperability test together with Ericsson, Acticom, ICR (Intelligent Character Recognition or Image Character Recognition) The machine recognition of hand-printed characters as well as machine printing that is difficult to recognize. and IRISA IRISA - INRIA hosted by Acticom in Berlin. After one week of intensive testing, it is clear that Effnet's ROHC implementation is of very high standard. Previous interoperability tests were: "ROHC Bay Cough" at Roke Manor Roke Manor is the name of the 17th century manor house approximately 2km north-west of Romsey in Hampshire, UK. The house and 22 acre grounds are currently owned by Siemens company Roke Manor Research Limited. hosted by Siemens, "ROHC in the Desert" in Tucson hosted by Effnet and "Arctic ROHC" in Lulea hosted by Ericsson. Other attendees at these tests have been Nokia and Panasonic. Effnet has attended all four interoperability tests with consistently excellent results. During recent meetings with operators in Europe it has become evident that demand for ROHC will increase during 2003. One of Effnet's existing ROHC customers also recently validated this positive market trend, by ordering an updated version of ROHC for further integration into their 3G equipment. Header Compression reduces the size of an IP packet header by removing or shrinking header fields. When IP packet headers are compressed, more of the packet's payload, or user data, is transferred in the same amount of time thereby reducing the need for bandwidth. Header Compression means faster, more reliable and lower cost services for wireless Internet operators and customers. Effnet ROHC is a software implementation based on IETF See Internet Engineering Task Force. IETF - Internet Engineering Task Force 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, delivered as an ANSI C (language, standard) ANSI C - (American National Standards Institute C) A revision of C, adding function prototypes, structure passing, structure assignment and standardised library functions.

Effnet ROHC can optionally be provided with a test environment, HCSim, to validate operation when integrated into the customer's target environment. A new major release of Effnet ROHC will be launched early 2003. About Effnet Effnet develops and sells integrated software, Header Compression, to manufacturers of network products.
