Development
Overview
We provide design and
consultancy services, focused on the area of telecom networking
technologies like SDH/SONET, Ethernet and xDSL. AimSys implements
system level services such as product definition and architecture,
software design, system test and hardware design and factory
introduction. AimCom offers the design services for ASIC and FPGA
components.
Our combined skill set represents all the important
aspects required for the development of complete systems that meet the
demanding requirements of the communications, industrial and medical
markets.
We have extensive knowledge in a broad range of
applications and systems:
- Multi-Service Networks:
SDH/SONET, OTN, and carrier-class Ethernet
- Ethernet over
Optical Networks
- Circuit emulation services: TDM over packet
- Access
Systems (with emphasis on low cost): xDSL, ISDN NT, FTTH and PON
Design
and Consultancy services
Our system engineering team provides
network consultancy and defines products and components. Based on input
from customers, standards and technology trends, new features or entire
systems are defined and documented.
AimCom specializes in the
design, implementation and verification of ASICs and FPGAs. The team
uses state-of-the-art development tools that allow quick project
turn-around of large devices of more than 10 million gate equivalents.
The designs are implemented on leading platform FPGAs and their
embedded soft CPUs, or developed as System-on-Chip ASIC solutions
integrating many functions into a single device. AimCom has a strategic
partnership with Fujitsu Microelectronics Europe.
AimSys'
software team is responsible for the architecture and implementation of
reliable software for carrier-class and real-time embedded systems.
These systems encompass a wide range of components such as: operating
systems, communication protocols, user and networking applications and
interfaces towards remote management systems.
The software
applications are implemented using state-of-the-art tools for
development, host and in-system debugging and change management.
The
system verification team carries out systematic black-box testing
against system requirements. Automation tools are used for robustness
testing.
AimSys' hardware team covers schematic entry and
lay-out, mechanical and thermal design and regulatory compliance and CE
certification. The hardware team has designed a range of high-density
controller and payload switching cards, including backplanes and
mechanical enclosures.
The team also takes care of
design transfer to a manufacturer for mass production and uses the
respective design rules and processes. AimSys builds implementations
compliant with ROHS environmental requirements.
