  Business and technical benefits

Open-Plug FlexibleWare technology allows the wireless terminal industry to leverage all technical and business advantages of using a component oriented technology, efficiently managing the usual associated overheads.

 
 
Key benefit

Value Proposition
Cuts Cost by Total System Efficiency
Low Cost Terminal Platform; runs on standard single processor chipset. Opens up low-end terminals for value added services.
IP Reusability; facilitates re-use of Software amongst projects / departments / companies thanks to component based IP handling
Cuts total system integration effort; divides any complex system into isolated, easy to test and integrate components
High maintainability; reduces and simplifies maintenance effort, due to modular, easy upgradeable, component based architecture
Low license costs; provides access to a wide range of competitive Firmware, middleware and application IP from multiple sources
Key benefit

Value Proposition
Boosts Market
fitness
through active
IP-Component
management
Accelerates new feature's time-to-market; Quick and easy "plug-in integration/validation process for firmware, middleware and applications
High reactivity to market changes; easy firmware, middleware and application change, enabled by component based architecture
Terminal feature upgrade; our technology allows active terminal feature management (Firmware/Middleware) through easy field-upgrades thanks to the modular approach
Low entry barriers for partner network; easy IP integration allows to efficiently leverage multiple third party software supplier's offering and to rapidly introduce new service
Key benefit

Value Proposition
Cuts Risk due
to modular IP management
Robust architecture; by breaking down complex software systems into a set of isolated and controlled components
Push-field upgrade; enables quick reaction to any software issue/defect, due to field update capability, even at firmware and middleware level
Pull-field upgrade; provides customers easy access to new services features, including services requiring firmware or middleware upgrades
Modular security; selective access right management for each functional firmware, middleware and application module
Multi sourcing; third party software components can be separately evaluated, tested and if necessary easily replaced at a component level
Keep control on proprietary IP; due to modular approach one can keep control on his legacy code while opening it up to work with a wide variety of programs
Being open and transparent; the ELIPS product family leverages both C/C++/ and JAVA technology and provide a Linux® framework for open, robust and transparent development.
Key benefit

Value Proposition
OPEN
Framework
Open Application APIs; supports standard (Linux®, Java-MIDP,..) as well as proprietary APIs.
Open Middleware and Firmware APIs; supports standard (Linux®, Java-MIDP,..) as well as proprietary APIs for a wide variety of Hardware platforms
Supports any Software type; any software language type can be integrated, e.g. Java, C/C++, etc.
Support of any common download mechanism; no proprietary download protocol required for field upgrades
Key benefit

Value Proposition
Easy
and Transparent
Non Intrusive; ELIPS-SDK provides automatic component generation process out of standard object code
Extensive tool support; ability to develop and validate third party IP in a simulator of target hardware platforms
Coexistence with Legacy code; our technology coexists with any legacy code
Easy to use; compatible to existing programming languages and development practice
