Navigating ‘the last mile’ challenge

The last mile is a serious challenge that enterprise connectivity products ought to navigate.  At Tata Elxsi, we now have an abundance of expertise in ATM, ISDN, Frame Relay, Metro Ethernet and IP inter-working, and this allows us to build communication capabilities for the last mile into access devices and customer premises equipment (CPE).

Our access technology services include:

	Core stack development; integration of signaling and control plane protocols in integrated access devices and CPE
	Stack customization and firmware development for SoCs used in modems, residential gateways and IP phones

We offer a suite of standards-based reusable modules and stacks in the areas of ATM, ISDN, Frame Relay and TCP/IP. These are designed to help our customers roll out products faster. Modular, platform-independent and scalable, these high-performance protocol stacks provide quick customization, thanks to their large set of APIs. All stacks are optimized for footprint and memory for deployment in embedded targets.
