T.38-BRICKS

Enea Netbricks Line of Protocols for Fax and Data Transfer

Enea offers a wide range of highly portable telecom protocol stacks for TDM, 3G, IMS, and NGN networks, as well as fax and data transfer protocols and signal processing and analysis software. All Enea Netbricks protocols stacks are compliant with ITU, ETSI, ANSI, IETF, 3GPP, and many other standards bodies’ specifications. 

All of the Enea Netbricks protocols are written in ANSI C and take advantage of a modular, portable architecture that allows hardware platform and compiler independence. Enea Netbricks protocols are provided in source code to over 400 network equipment providers (NEPs), and device OEMs worldwide, assisting them in getting products to market quickly, with very low risk and significantly reduced development costs.

  • Portable protocol stacks compliant with protocol standards as published by the key standards bodies around the world ( ITU, ETSI, ANSI, IETF, 3GPP).
  • Supplied as source code.
  • Used by over 400 global, industry leading telecommunications equipment manufacturers and OEMs.
  • Backed by over 20 years of protocol development expertise and 40 years of telecom software expertise.

T38-BRICKS is the implementation of the T.38 Fax Relay protocol and is available for use in Facsimile Gateways or in Internet Aware Facsimile devices (IAF). T38-BRICKS is fully compliant with ITU-T T.38 (03/2002) and implements the IFT (Internet Facsimile Transfer) protocol as specified in this recommendation. This protocol uses an IP network to transport the IFT protocol data units through UDP or TCP.


T.38 IAF software, called IAF-BRICKS, is an integrated FOIP package that includes the signaling and the fax transmission protocols (T.38, T.30 and SIP) required for an Internet Aware Fax (IAF) device. This ground-breaking software package can be easily integrated in FOIP-enabled software's and devices: IAF terminals, Fax Servers, IP-enabled PABX.

Alliances

RMI Corporation is a fabless semiconductor company providing High-Performance Super System-on-a-Chip (SuperSoC™) Processor solutions for the Infrastructure, Enterprise, and Consumer Media markets. Applications include Wireless, Networking Security, Thin Clients, and Connected Multi-Media.

MontaVista Software invented embedded Linux commercialization in 1999 to give device designers a platform to deliver the best possible product in the shortest possible time. Since then, due to growth and innovation MontaVista has remained the leading company in this category.
  • Fully compliant with ITU-T T.38 Fax Relay specification
  • UDP and TCP support.
  • Tested at rates of up to 14.4 kbps and against IP network impairments such as packet loss, delay, jitter.

T38-BRICKS can be combined with other Enea Netbricks signaling protocols (MGCP-BRICKS, MEGACO-BRICK, SIP-BRICKS) in order to establish Internet session required to transfer T.38 IFP protocol data units. For example, Enea’s implementation of SIP available in SIP-BRICKS features ITU-T T.38 Annex D and RFC 3362 for support of T.38 in SIP.
T38-BRICKS and IAF-Bricks have passed Quality Logic fax tests with 2LJ, verifying robustness and conformance of the protocol. Many interoperability tests have also been run against T38 equipment, including AudioCodes, Cisco, Patton, Dialogic, Cirpack, Grandstream, Nortel, Teles, Innovaphone, Fenestrae, Voismart, Telesoft Technologies, and Aculab.

SOFTMODEM-Bricks
SOFTMODEM-BRICKS is a family of portable software products designed to implement Fax/Modem modulations. It is a digital signaling package implementing fax transfer modulations according to ITU-T standards up to V.34hdx. It can be easily integrated with other Enea protocol stacks including V42-BRICKS, T30-FAX-BRICKS, and ISDN-BRICKS.

SOFTMODEM-BRICKS has been optimized for several CPUs including Pentium, PowerPC, MIPS, ARM 7/9,  and TI DSP C5x/C6x.

Enea can fine tune the SoftModem software to achieve customer's specific requirements. In addition, Enea can provide source code for detection and generation of call progress tones, DTMF, Caller ID (ETSI).  Please view the SOFTMODEM-Bricks Web page for more information.
