| EWL-Phoenix Development Platform |
The EWL-Phoenix Development Platform is a high performance Development Platform that integrates multiple WiMAX, WiFi, Fiber, Zigbee, BlueTooth, VoIP and 3G HSDPA technologies on a single board.
 |
EWL-Phoenix Development Platform is designed for triple play voice, data and video applications in divergent market verticals for Voice Over IP, WiMAX Customer Premise Equipment, 3G Enterprise Routers and Optical Network Terminals.
It is a cost effective solution for companies who need to jump start their development The EWL-Phoenix Development Platform shortens time to market by 6-8 months and helps companies market their products sooner. This greatly reduces development costs and enables companies to gain an edge over competitors. |
Product innovation
The EWL-Phoenix Development Platform incorporates the latest secure networking solutions and is built using various cutting edge technologies such as Embedded Linux, Peripheral Component Interconnect Express (PCI Express) and Advanced Chipsets.
The industry is currently moving to an open source model with sharing of technology, resources and knowledge within the open source community. This maturing ecosystem of application and tools provided by the Linux development community is an advantage for using an open source operating system like Embedded Linux over commercial real-time operating system (RTOS).
EWL-Phoenix Development Platform is also in tandem with PCI based applications, which major communication technologies are converging towards. The advantage of PCI is that it is scalable to achieve greater bandwidth and designed to be compatible with existing Operating Systems and PCI device drivers.
Multiple Technologies
The EWL-Phoenix Development Platform supports multiple technologies through industry accepted ‘plug and play” standard interfaces on its platform.

Standard Interfaces on EWL-Phoenix Development Platform
Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access (WiMAX)
Functions as a WiMAX Small Office Home Office Customer Premise Equipment |
3G Router
Supported by Wireless/ 3G / HSDPA / GPRS |
High-Speed Downlink Protocol Access (HSDPA)
Third-generation (3G) High-Speed Packet Access technology designed to speed up network capacity and data transmission rate of cellular phones. |
General Packet Radio Service (GPRS)
Packet based wireless communication service providing permanent Internet connectivity for desktop and mobile phones. It delivers volume (as opposed to time) dependent billing and more efficient use of network resources for clients and network providers / customers |
Voice over Internet Protocol (VOIP)
Utilizes DSL connection to enable VOIP-ready capability to make voice calls. |
Copper / Ethernet / Fiber interfaces
Delivers broadband connection |
Medical Telemetry
Functions as a Central monitoring unit supporting applications with Bluetooth, Zigbee and WiFi technologies to enhance patient monitoring systems |
Long Term Evolution (LTE)
Next-generation network technology that allows Internet applications such as Voice Over IP (VoIP), video streaming, music downloading, mobile TV and others to enable fixed to mobile migrations. |
|
Modular Design Ensures Clear Migration Path
The EWL-Phoenix Development Platform is built with Embedded Linux and a MPC8315E processors and PCI interfaces to bridge multiple technologies. Its modular design allows it to be readily upgraded in tandem with future technology migration. A clear migration path facilitates ubiquitous application of solutions.
This high level network processor is also a more cost effective solution compared to real time operating systems.
Key Advantages
The EWL-Phoenix Development Platform delivers key advantages to its target industry namely Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEM) developing applications for Voice over IP, Medical Telemetry, WiMAX Customer Premise Equipment, Enterprise Routers and Optical Network Terminals.
 |
Convergence of technologies (voice, data & video)
Technological convergence is bringing together voice, video and data on a single network, integrating telecommunications, TV, cable and Internet networks. EWL-Phoenix Development Platform comprehensive design connects these different networks with sophisticated integration products to synergistically create new efficiencies for our customers and allow them to jump start development time. |
Open Source Community
Embedded Linux operating system offers the advantage of being Open Source technology and greatly benefits from the close support of the Linux Development community for new IP and other protocols compared to commercial Real Time Operating System (RTOS) vendors. More device drivers, network interface card and parallel/serial port drivers are available for Linux compared to commercial operating systems.
Interoperable
In an increasingly interconnected landscape, the EWL-Phoenix Development Platform offers companies the advantage of a high performance development platform that is interoperable with products from different vendors.
Scalable
Linux is also well-tailored for embedded Internet devices as it supports multiprocessor systems, which makes it scalable. Designers can run this real-time application on a dual processor system, increasing total processing power.
Wireless and Wired
Businesses often need both wired and wireless networks to obtain constant access. Yet they face different implementation, support and security setups for both types of networks. EWL-Phoenix Development Platform is designed to support both wired and wireless solutions, help eliminate redundancies, improve performance and reduce infrastructure costs.
Future Applications
The EWL-Phoenix Development Platform has identified future expansion into these areas-
- Long Term Evolution (LTE)
LTE is the natural upgrade path for 3G networks as the network is already available to tap into. It is designed as an evolutionary upgrade to an existing network without having to build a completely new system. LTE combines the benefits of IP-based fixed networks with the benefits of mobility.
- Fiber
Enables an instant plug-and-play solution for last mile broadband wireless coverage in any area with a fiber outlay.
- IPTV
- Media Servers for Home
- Set Top Box
- Femto Cells
- Optical Network Terminal
