From the start we have aimed to early gain comprehensive knowledge about new developments in the marketplace. In order to also be a competent partner for our clients in the field of ATM technology we have been looking into this technology since 1993.

Initial activities included:

• Making suggestions for RACE projects together with two other partners in 1993
• In 1994, guest scientist work of one employee in Switzerland, RACE Fellowship at ASPA in Basel

Based on our knowledge, we developed during the following years::

• Several units for an ATM based WLL-System
• Concepts for E3 – and STM1 – ATM uplink boards for DSLAMs
• Functional units for a high-bit-rate ATM measurement equipment
• APC-based ATM backplane measurement system

Just like in other areas our experience with products for the subscriber access dates back to the years before the foundation of Teleconnect GmbH. As early as in the 1980s, the Dresden branch of the former Institute for Telecommunications was responsible for the specification, realisation, test runs and maintenance of an FTTH network for analogue telephony and television distribution in the Dresden area. The network was in operation until 1995 and maintained by Teleconnect employees during that time.

Further projects/products since 1990:

• Circuit packs for the OPAL network of the Deutsche Telekom AG
• Specification/production re-start, tests and maintenance of network compatibility of PCAs for OPAL
• Crossconnect units, signalling converter
• Units for ISDN equipment (AEI adapter, ISDN Repeater)
• xDSL – e. g. Voice Pair Gain Systems: PCM2A (with 4B3T or 2B1Q coding), PCM4A, PCM11A
• Concept IAD
• ISDN network termination (NTBA, intelligent NT)
• ISDN telefons
• CLIP box
• Modems: SHDSL, ADSL, ADSL2/2+, VDSL(1), VDSL(2)
• Measuring equipment: ADSL, VDSL(2)

• Design of a graphical presentation layer for the Service-PC of a long haul transmission system (OS/2) as well as various graphical user interfaces for production tests and putting into operation of functional units
• Specification, coding and realisation of exchange and interface functions for the SISA system
• Implementation and application of the management interfaces QD2 and Q3
• Programming and data base design for a graphical user terminal with maintenance and management functions for PDH and SDH network elements
• Generation of Private-MIBs and realisation of Proxy-Agents for SNMP

Development and experiences with optoelectronic modules and systems using polymer or glass fibre.

As a contribution to an initiative by Saxony’s federal government for more high-speed internet access points in rural areas, we studied a sample of twelve rural locations. Following the examination of supply and demand, suggestions were made for each location as to how and with the help of which technology the respective location could be connected to the information highway. The study was compiled by a project group consisting of TU Dresden, Tele-Kabel-Ingenieurgesellschaft mbH Chemnitz and Teleconnect GmbH.

The main focus of Teleconnect’s input was on the analyses of network access topology and technology. www.smul.sachsen.de/laendlicher_raum/1355.htm
