Objective Systems Announces a Major New Release of ASN1C

Published 3rd June 2009

Exton, PA, June 2, 2009 - Objective Systems Inc., a leading developer of software to support open communications standards, announces the release of Version 6.2 of its ASN1C ASN.1 compiler and runtime libraries.

ASN1C is an all-in-one development solution targeted at developers who produce products based on Abstract Notation One (ASN.1) and XML standards. This latest release adds significant new support for ASN.1 used in 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) standards including those used in Long Term Evolution (LTE) – a major new broadband wireless technology. These include the Radio Resource Control (RRC) protocol, and E-UTRAN protocols that define the S1 and X2 interfaces.

ASN1C can generate source code in four different program languages for a given ASN.1 or XSD
specification: C, C++, Java, or C# for use in the Microsoft .NET framework. Developers can use the code produced by the compiler in conjunction with the run-time libraries to produce interoperable encoders and decoders for use in many different application types including data communications and security applications.

New features include:
· Generation of new, more user-friendly code for table constraint related structures used within 3GPP/LTE specifications.
· New configuration options to make it possible to generate more compact code for spaceconstrained, embedded applications.
· Improvements to run-time memory management to provide increased performance.
· Enhanced options to generate Visual Studio project files to make building the generated code easier.
· Improved generation of XML and XML schema definition (XSD) files to support validation of the generated binary messages.
