Telecommunications Platform

The OIS Telecommunications Platform features ORBexpress® RT, ORBexpress DSP, and ORBexpress FPGA, OIS’s high-performance communications middleware products.

In addition, PCSexpress™, the world’s first high-assurance communications software, is available as part of this platform. PCSexpress provides military-grade security, designed for the highest levels of national security, to telecommunications systems at a COTS price.

• • Trio of standards-based CORBA object request brokers (ORBs), which provide a flexible, upgradeable, and high-performance communications infrastructure for telecom and network equipment—in a very small footprint.
  • Support for partial reconfigurability on the FPGA, which simplifies programming while significantly increasing application code reuse. This is critical in sophisticated systems, such as base stations, which are upgraded in the field.
  • Support for high-security communications through PCSexpress, the only commercially available communications middleware product designed for the highest levels of security, including High Robustness.
  • Support for multiple pluggable transports with Quality of Service (QoS), such as Ethernet and RDMA technologies (e.g. RapidIO™ and INFINIBAND), takes care of communications on the boards and the backplane—without requiring any rewriting of transport protocols.
