Case Study for mimoOn


Company Profile

mimoOn

mimoOn GmbH is a leading provider of LTE software solutions for the mobile handset and wireless infrastructure market. Since forming in 2006, mimoOn has focused exclusively on LTE technology, specializing in LTE PHY (Physical Layer) and protocol stack software for both terminals and small cells. mimoOn has been at the forefront of LTE software development - pioneering and promoting the use of Software Defined Radio (SDR) platforms to enable future proofed solutions for the wireless industry.

Business Situation

mimoOn has focused its attention from day one on the LTE market and the potential explosion of applications, devices and services that will drive the LTE standards. From the initial deployment of macro base stations, the addition of enterprise picocells, followed by residential femtocells and a multitude of mobile devices, mimoOn has a suite of solutions to deliver future proofed platforms for those markets. While each of those markets has its own unique requirements, common amongst all is the need to reduce CAPEX, OPEX and improve quality of service.

mimoOnMarkets

By combining partnerships with market leading vendors such as OSS Nokalva, and mimoOn's expertise and knowledge, mimoOn delivers solutions focused on providing customers with the lowest risk path to success in their chosen markets. Low maintenance, low operating cost, reliable solutions from mimoOn, enable customer to deliver a higher quality of service, retain valuable subscribers, and generate incremental ARPU via new services and applications.

Solution

mimoOn understands that customers need to differentiate their products in a competitive market while at the same time addressing ongoing requirements to reduce risk and costs and to increase re-use.

mimoOn's scalable and modular 3GPP LTE software families mi!SmallCellTM and mi!MobileTM, enable equipment manufacturers to fully exploit the numerous benefits of SDR.

mimoOn's pre-certified Physical Layer (PHY) and Protocol Stack (MAC, PDCP, RLC and RRC) software packages, combined with an extensive set of validation tools, assure fast time to market, conformance to the latest release of the standards, and ease of integration.

Part of mimoOn's LTE eNodeB Protocol Stack development requires the use of ASN.1. The engineering team undertook a thorough market analysis of ASN.1 tools, both commercial and open source. Our final choice was based on our evaluation of the ASN.1 tools' roadmap (future-proof), Total Cost of Ownership, security, reliability and a hands on test of the tools.

According to Oliver Luert, Director of Protocol Stack Development, “We needed to weigh many criteria in our evaluation of ASN.1 tools. Paramount to some of our customers in aerospace and government was security, so this component was key to our decision. In the end, our selection of the OSS ASN.1 Tools was simple as it ranked at the top of every evaluation category. Our Tier 1 customers, like those in any other market segment are demanding. We feel comfortable with our decision - that our product is going to be the best on the market.”

OSS Products and Services mimoOn Uses

mimoOn currently uses the OSS ASN.1 C Tools on a variety of platforms including Linux/Intel, Windows/Intel, Linux MIPS and the TI SYS/BIOS platforms. mimoOn's selection of the OSS ASN.1 software, future proofs mimoOn's investment. The OSS software supports any valid ASN.1 protocol. As LTE protocols progress from Rel 8, to 9, to 10, and beyond, mimoOn can rely on OSS. Should mimoOn need to support other platforms in the future, it can license one of the many OSS ASN.1/C libraries which have already been ported to 500+ platforms, or OSS can port its libraries to meet mimoOn's needs. Given the dynamic nature of the LTE market, this future proofing is a very valuable benefit to mimoOn. mimoOn also uses OSS' Technical Support services, available 24X7, and which provide expert support and assistance not just for the OSS ASN.1 Tools but also for the ASN.1 standard if required.
