TCI offers services to update or otherwise improve current communications systems based on patent pending software tool Espre. Espre is an advanced network and communications design, prototyping, and simulation platform for communications components, systems, and network design being developed internally by TCI. The Espre package provides the capability to create, model, simulate, and instantiate a wide variety of existing and new communication systems and networks using an advanced, fully featured and robust tool environment with a rich, easy to use interface. Unlike traditional communications and network system design software, Espre is a complete, fully integrated tool environment that combines the key elements and numerous layers of the communications system, from antenna and signal capture through filtering, baseband processing, codec, packetization, transport, aggregation and backhaul for a wide variety of terrestrial, wireless and space-based communications environments and delivery systems. The Espre platform allows users including hardware and software engineers to analyze and understand the impact of design choices on the overall communication system as well as validate their designs via FPGA platforms.
