KDDI buys Header Compression test license from Effnet
KDDI buys Header Compression test license from Effnet The Japanese company KDDI R&D Laboratories Inc. has bought a test license for Effnet ROHC®, a Header Compression software developed by Effnet. KDDI R&D Laboratories Inc., a subsidiary of the second largest Japanese mobile network operator KDDI Corporation and one of the world's leading mobile telecom research organisations, is active in a broad range of research within communications and develops new technologies and services for mobile networks. "This is a considerable break through for us. It is the first time that a CDMA2000 mobile network operator buys a test license for Header Compression from us", says Bo Hagerf, President, Effnet AB. 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 user data is transferred in the same amount of time. Header Compression means faster, more reliable and lower cost services for wireless network operators and its customers. By using Header Compression more content can be transmitted with higher quality of service and the operators may increase their ARPU and reduce their CAPEX and OPEX. "We are pleased to see more interest in our products from key players. KDDI R&D Laboratories Inc. is a very valuable reference customer for us", says Hans Runesten, CEO, Effnet Holding AB. Effnet ROHC® is a software implementation of IETF RFC 3095 using ANSI C language. It is very easy to port to different platforms and runs on virtually all operating systems. The Effnet ROHC® can be provided with the test environment tool, Effnet HC-Sim®, which has proven very useful in the integration and testing procedures of the Effnet ROHC® in the customer's target environment.
