QNX, HSS to deliver integrated telecom solutions
NEW DELHI -- QNX Software Systems and Hughes Software
Systems (HSS) have recently announced an alliance to
offer integrated solutions to the telecom space.
This
partnership brings together QNX’s microkernel realtime
operating system technology with HSS’ protocol
stacks for convergent networks for offering integrated
solutions to telecom OEMs. This alliance is in line
with the market’s trend toward open architectures,
for which equipment manufacturers choose best-in-class
components, while also demanding that pre-integrated
and customisable solutions are available.
HSS
has validated some protocol stacks on the QNX Neutrino
realtime OS v6.2.1: SCCP (wireline), ALCAP, MTP3-B and
SAAL-NNI (wireless and broadband), SCTP and M3UA (VoP).
HSS protocol stacks communicate with the underlying
operating system via a common abstraction library; the
validation of this library ensures that effectively
all HSS protocol stacks can be delivered on QNX Neutrino.
By
collaborating with HSS, QNX Software Systems will be
able to provide its existing and future customers with
best-in-class protocol products and specialised outsourcing
services on QNX platforms. In addition, it will offer
an enhanced choice of operating systems that its customers
can use to meet their system needs.
Anita
Gupta, assistant vice president -- business development,
mobile networks group, HSS, said: "HSS’s comprehensive
suite of protocol stacks on the QNX Neutrino realtime
operating system offers network equipment providers
a powerful way to develop high performance products
across diverse platforms for a wide range of telecom
markets. The availability of HSS protocol stacks on
QNX Neutrino will significantly reduce development cost
and time-to-market for these OEMs."
Linda
Campbell, director -- strategic alliances, QNX Software
Systems, added: "HSS saves OEM’s development
time by providing the software building blocks required
across multiple IP, optical, and wireless segments of
the network. QNX complements this by offering the QNX
Neutrino RTOS, an operating system with a 20-year history
of reliability and scalability that permits uninterrupted
operation over the long life-cycles required by carrier-grade
networking equipment."
