Porting software to embedded platforms. There is lots of software out there but can it work in a real time environment? There are many issues involved in porting software including reentrancy, concurrency, interrupt handling, critical sections, mutual exclusions, etc. We can help resolve these issues and help get your project moving. We have dealt with most of the major embedded OSs including vxWorks, Linux and pSOS.
Protocol Design and Validation. Do you have new requirements for a new protocol? Protocol design is very tricky as there are two or more independent systems and there are lots of things that can happen over a communications link including errors, shutdowns, partial connections, etc. We have experience in protocol design and can help you design team with validating a protocol to ensure it's correctness during operation.
Need help implementing and/or understanding TL1? TL1 is a Bellcore/Telecordia ASCII based management language still used in many companies in the US and Canada. We understand the syntax and we can help you get your team up to speed. We can also implement some or all of the commands for you. We can work with you tool set albiet Micromuse/Lumos or proprietary tools.
Device drivers. Have a new piece of hardware? Need a device driver for it? Want to have it supported on the major desktop platforms such as Windows, Linux, Solaris? We can write your device drivers for you.
OAM&P. Do you need to monitor a remote system? Need help in determining the best method (e.g. SNMP, CMISE/CMIP, proprietary object model, TL1)? We can help.
Don't understand the standards? Many of the ITU, ISO, Telecordia and now the IETF standards are written more like legal documents rather design specifications. We have experience translating these specifications into design documents that can be handed over to a design team to code.

We can help bootstrap your team and get them moving, by solving problems, providing design support and documentation.
