Flarion claims to be comitted to standards... flarion.com Flarion is committed to standards. The standardization of the technology will accelerate the global availability and interoperability of flash-OFDM™ related products. We are implementing a standardization strategy that is operator and partner driven and one that does not compromise time-to-market or the core advantages of flash-OFDM technology. Flarion-authored Internet Drafts Download draft documents Networking Standards - With regard to networking standards, the core network is already standards based. Flarion is actively involved in the leading wireless / data networking standards bodies, such as the IETF and IEEE. Flarion staff members include IETF working group chairs, editors of critical IP mobility documents, and key contributors to IPv6, Differentiated Services, Mobile Routing, and IP multicast standards, while the past Chairman of the IETF is a member of the Flarion Technical Advisory Board. We are committed to standardizing all relevant forward-looking developments related to the Flarion access and core networks. Air Interface Standards - Flarion is preparing to globalize its flash-OFDM air interface as an industry standard within the appropriate standards organizations. Flarion is pursuing this strategy in conjunction with OEMs and wireless operators. Our goal is to make the flash-OFDM air interface a central piece of the global wireless Internet standards framework. Multivendor Environment - It is Flarion's intent to license the flash-OFDM technology and system to other vendors on fair and reasonable terms. This will enable a provider to pursue a multi-vendor network deployment and will ensure adequate competition and supply of flash-OFDM systems and devices. Flarion is currently working with prospective licensees, third party network solutions suppliers and leading engineering and test equipment providers on end-to-end interoperability testing to create industry standard end-to-end system validation tools. Standards Support IP Connectivity is standards-based Mobility solution is currently based on Mobile IPv4, with standards based extensions to manage real time handoff Flarion will drive standards activity, and will support the final mobility standard. Our distinguished engineering and research staff includes several significant contributors to the IETF's network standards. Supported Technologies The Flarion IP Technology provides a user experience very similar to that of a wired connection. Standard IP protocols are natively supported without modifications or limited-function protocols such as WAP. Protocol and Application Support Connectivity Protocols: ICMP, IGMP, UDP, TCP/IP, Broadcast, Multicast Basic Applications: http (www), ftp, telnet, Instant MessagingTM, IRC, H.323, SIP, IPSec Low latency / high interactivity applications: VoIP, Financial, Gaming Broadcast / Multicast services; Multicast and Broadcast via a dedicated stream Network Technology Support Routing: Mobile IP, MPLS (planned), OSPF (planned), RIP (planned) IPv4 IPv4/v6 Dual Stack (planned) Flexible IP-Over-flash-OFDM mapping allowing operator-customized IP DiffServ/IntServ QoS policies and services Also, how imporant is latency (30ms vs. 200ms).... flarion.com
