Telecom and Datacom

Over the last decade, CORBA has become an industry standard in telecommunications. In areas such as Telecom Network Management (TNM), CORBA ORBs are regularly used to provide element management and information to a variety of heterogeneous clients.

Until recently, CORBA’s usage was limited to areas where performance was not critical. With Objective Interface’s ORBexpress® (designed to operate in embedded and real-time applications) it is possible to use CORBA in embedded telecom and datacom applications at the network level. ORBexpress is a lightweight CORBA-compliant product optimized for the real-time and embedded environment. Small and fast, with minimal overhead, ORBexpress provides control over the resources, threads, timing and scheduling of real-time distributed communication – ensuring real-time deadlines are met.
