ZaraCom in Japan (Sept 2008)

ZaraCom Demonstrates Latest Development of Its Product in Japan

Through live demonstrations, ZaraCom revealed the newest features of ZaraCom Solution Suit (ZSS), PacketCapture and Traffic Profiling, at Wireless Japan 2008 in July. Later this month, ZaraCom will be performing similar demonstrations at the WiMAX Ecosystem, a project lab hosted by Itochu Techno-Solutions Corporation (CTC). The new functions make the WiMAX network “visible” and help to solve problems that arise specifically from the “all-IP” nature of the newest telecommunications technology.

WiMAX’s “all-IP” structure decreases the “visibility” of the network because signaling and traffic data are both sent in the same IP packet, making it difficult to differentiate between the two. To amend the visibility problem, ZaraCom engineers added to ZSS the capabilities to capture raw IP packet data and profile application level traffic. On top of end-to-end analysis, real-time monitoring of signal, traffic loading, and capacity planning/optimization, ZSS’ new features will let carriers/operators be able to “see” and understand data content and IP packet, assisting them to optimize network management and achieve the highest quality of performance and service.

CTC’s Ecosystem will feature WiMAX seminars and a project lab that attempts to build one network from ASN to CSN with help of major system vendors such as CISCO, Alvarion, Juniper, and etc. The product will be a microcosm of a real network. The ability for various vendors/carriers/operators to verify the quality of the network with their own eyes has garnered much attention and anticipation from the industry. In the same lab, ZaraCom will provide live demonstrations to prove ZSS’ comprehensive support for WiMAX using one integrated system online and in real-time and its ability to “make visible” the WiMAX network.


--About ITOCHU Techno-Solutions Corporation… Also known as CTC, Itochu Techno-Solutions Corporation is a system integrator that provides total solution. The company provides consulting and systems development, operating, maintenance, management, and etc. for computers, networks, and applications. CTC is a subsidiary of Itochu Corporation.

Research Opportunity with Taiwanese Government

6/2008
ZaraCom to Begin Research Cooperation with Taiwan’s National Institute

ZaraCom and Industrial Technology Research Institute (ITRI), a national-level R&D organization in Taiwan, recently announced their plan to deepen cooperation through co-researching at ITRI’s M-Taiwan WiMAX Applications Lab (MTWAL). The co-researching opportunity will be an integration of ITRI’s experiences from long-term studies on application testing cases and ZaraCom’s unique AI-based solutions for network performance management. MTWAL, one of the few WiMAX forum application labs in the world, provides a centralized monitor/analysis application field trial lab and makes it possible to provide application vendors with performance and user behavior data as reference information for future commercial operation.

As a kick-off to the new cooperation, ITRI invited ZaraCom to participate in this year’s MTWAL Open House on June 3rd and 4th. Through a powerful combination of several modules, ZaraCom provided live demonstrations of direct collection and processing of raw data from the ASNGateway. ZaraCom engineers were able to prove the ability to make accurate forecasts of network conditions with the immediate display of statistical analysis in user-friendly graphical charts. In addition, the demonstrations revealed that conventional performance management system is insufficient for the “all-IP” architecture of WiMAX and analyzed application profile for better managing transport network and equipment.


--About ITRI…ITRI is a national research organization that provides advanced technological research, as well as consulting services to domestic companies. Through its technological innovations and research capabilities, ITRI serves to strengthen the overall domestic industrial research capability, channel the benefits to related domestic industries, and improve the technological competitiveness of Taiwan.

-- About MTWAL… MTWAL is the first WiMAX Forum applications lab, a non-commercial proof-of-concept lab established by ITRI in Taiwan. Located within ITRI’s Hsinchu campus, MTWAL has plans to expand and cover the greater Hsinchu Science Park area. MTWAL is currently operating 6 WiMAX BSs and expects to deploy more than 10 WiMAX BSs in total.
