Areas of Expertise
Our key areas of expertise are:
- The Wireless Domain. We have been actively involved in the
wireless component of the data communications industry since 1992, and
we have a track record of significant contribution to wireless
technologies. Among other things we played a lead role in the
technical architecture design for the CDPD specifications, and we have
participated in the development of other wireless technologies such as
Mobile IP, 802.11, Bluetooth and GSM. Neda team members are also the
authors of numerous wireless-related books, articles and technical
papers.
- The Internet. We represent what might be called the "Old Internet"—we
have been involved from the very beginning. Our Internet domain name
was registered before that of Microsoft. We have a long track record
of participation in the IETF, dating all the way back to the late
1980's. We have published two Internet RFCs under our own name (RFC
2188 and RFC 2524), and we have played a role in the development and
publication of several protocols through various standards
organizations.
- Unix/Linux and Open-Source. We are highly oriented towards the
Unix/Linux environment and open-source software. We have extensive
experience in all aspects of Unix-based software development and
open-source software integration. As a showcase for our integration
capabilities we have created a rich set of Subscriber Services based
exclusively on open-source software. These Subscriber Services are
available at My.ByName.net. The My.ByName
services are provided as a public service by Neda, and may be freely
used or reproduced either in their entirety or as free software
components.
- Telecommunications and Voice Processing. We have been involved in
the deployment and integration of SS7 networks for over a decade, and
we have extensive familiarity with the SS7 protocol suite. We also
have substantial experience in the Computer Telephone Integration
(CTI) arena, with particular focus on Interactive Voice Response (IVR)
development. We have developed our own in-house IVR library and
applications suite, which we call the Voice Response Development
Environment (VoRDE), and which is publicly available as open-source
software at www.VoRDE.org as a
showcase for our IVR capabilities. Our expertise in both Internet and
Telecommunications, and our ability to integrate these, is
particularly applicable to the IP Telephony domain.
- Web Services and Integrated Messaging. We have extensive
experience in implementing large-scale portals and web services, to
provide integrated database, messaging and directory services. We can
make use of our expertise with a wide range of relevant open-source
software building blocks for this purpose. In addition, for clients
who may already have an installed base of legacy systems, we can
efficiently integrate those into a modern web services solution.
- Defense Against Patents. We provide consulting, prior art determination, and
expert witness services in the defense against patent assertion
claims.
