GSM gateway. GSM-gate is designed for mobile subscribers switching. The external device communication channels are Internet and GSM. This device has distributed architecture. As part of the allocated base module with 32 GSM modems and GSM module connected through the Internet with the 128th SIM-cards.

Implemented and adapted:

-SIP server for the organization of VoIP telephony, interfacing with external devices such as SoftSwitch and organization of incoming calls;

-OpenVPN to establish connection;

-RTP and SRTP protocols for data exchange;

-Encoding and decoding of audio streams in the format G.729, G.711, and Opus.

2D and 3D laser scanning Sensors are designed for common applications in quality control, production processing and automation, e.g. for the automotive industry, for welding and joining applications.

AXONIM specialists have developed a processor board, a CMOS sensor board and software. They have developed, tested and ported to DSP processors of Texas Instruments C64x+, Analog Devices BlackFin, FPGA Xilinx Spartan 6 and Altera Cyclone 3 algorithms for image filtering, detecting the useful signal for future processing and calculating the scan profile of laser system.



Machine Vision System. This system is applied for technological processes quality optical control.

There is hardware and software parts for a machine vision camera. As the main computer SoC OMAP3530 is used. As the optical sensorLUPA-300 with 250 Hz frame rate is used.

Telemetry Controllers and Humidity Indicators. AXONIM experts developed telemetry controllers and humidity indicators that are used by integrator company as a part of microclimate system in vegetable stores. The main computer is microcontroller MSP430 of TI.



These controllers get data from temperature indicators DS1820 and humidity indicators with 1Wire-compatible interface which is a part of MSP430 controller program and manage ventilation system valves. The controllers are operated via special SCADA system developed by the customer and they provide for the right microclimate in stores and for the food storage technological process.

LED-RGB Screen Controller. This controller is used in inquiry systems and it helps display effective data and media content. The main compute core of the controller is dual core SoC OMAP-L138. ARM core has OS Linux and Windows Embedded CE 6.0. For video file decryption framework Gstreamer and video codecs(MPEG4, MPEG2 and H.264) for DSP, of Texas Instruments are used. As the video controller FPGA Xilinx Spartan 6 is applied to implement a proprietary serial interface.

BSP eCos 3.0. BSP RTOS eCos 3.0 was developed for AT91SAM9x25 and Xilinx Microblaze platforms. There are drivers for networks, NAND FLASH memory drivers were implemented to integrate with FIS RedBoot. Also PROFINET stack of SIEMENS was ported.

Mobile Laser Rangefinder The key is in connecting the LRF to the phone with a rigid structure and the Bluetooth interconnection that makes it one system.

Now the phones screen is a viewfinder and all its processing power is ready to work on the distance data fed life by the LRF. The possibilities are endless. Presented by ROUNDCONCEPT



Protected Computer. We developed a portable computer for a wide range of tasks related to data processing, transmission, receive and storage and the protection of soft- and hardware parts from an unauthorized access. This device based on an Intel Atom microprocessor. The computer has the implemented function of the casing integrity control preventing any unauthorized access to the inner parts of the computer. The remote data reading via peripheral slots of the computer is also eliminated due to the appropriate construction solutions.

Observer Location System via Video Sequence. AXONIM specialists developed an algorithm of an observer location via video sequence. The algorithm is based on Lukas-Kanade algorithm of tracking the specific features of imaging and 3D-modeling on the basis of several images. This algorithm is used as extra to position unmanned aerial vehicles in the air.

This algorithm is adapted for a customer’s platform based on SoC DM3730. The algorithm works via DSP-core of SoC and exchanges data with ARM via DSP link mechanism.


SDR-Based Radar Systems Software-defined radio (SDR) is a radio system that involves software for radio

signal modulation/demodulation. In SDR almost all the signal processing is done by software run by a computer or FPGA. This approach aims at creating a flexible and effective system that may receive and transmit almost any radio signal via software.

A Passive Radar

The passive radar (5) works on the basis of Doppler effect. The source of radio signals can be from a Wi-Fi router (2) of 2.4/5 GHz frequency. The radar consists of two aerials (3, 4). The first (3) receives the signals of a Wi-Fi nearby and the 2nd (4) receives the signals reflected by the object. The software compares the data obtained from the two aerials and identifies e presence in the Wi-Fi moving objects (1), as well as the direction and the speed of their movement. Since the device does not emit signals, but only receives them, it can’t be detected by common methods.

An Active Radar

It works on the basis of the same physical effects. The main difference is that as the main signal source an array of directed aerials emitting signals between 5.46-7.25 GHz is used. The receiver catches the reflection of these signals from people and calculates the distance to them by measuring the delay of the reflected signal.

An object is positioned with 8-17 cm accuracy. This solution can also detect the breath and heart rate of the monitored objects.

AXONIM Devices – Advanced Developments

The passive radar advantages:

- portability,

- difficulty of detection,

- reference signal(Wi-Fi routers, GSM-retranslators etc.) everywhere.
