From what I can gather the shift towards SDN and cloud based software solutions for managing data/applications is gradually gaining momentum.
The scenario is very different than a few years ago when it was a maybe.
Telco systems and BATM software arm appear well poised to finally take advantage from the change in direction that they made.

Whats been "not to like" and why the share price has languished is the market has been unconvinced and revenue has fallen over the years.

Personally I feel that the company turned the corner a couple of years ago and from their perspective its going well to plan.
There is a disconnect with the markets regarding sales/revenue, whether their solutions will be adopted and how long that could take to turn into meaningful bottom line sales.

Shore brokerage comments are IMO correct this time round. The share price does not reflect progress made......

Thanks James and Reeltime, much of it above my head but when I see collaborations with the likes of NXP and Arm I start to see scale and, more importantly, acknowledgement of their IP and hopefully, some light at last, for BATM's tech division.

A little more coverage:

StockMarketWire.com - BATM Advanced Communications' wholly-owned subsidiary, Telco Systems, together with NXP Semiconductors have launched the industry's first and only Arm-based uCPE networking technology solution.

BATM said this utilises the group's NFVTime plug-and-play solution that enables network function virtualisation.

It said that as a result, the group's NFV and software-defined network solutions, which were already integrated with Intel-based platforms, were now available on all major architectures.

It added: 'The new solution, which is commercially available, was developed by Telco and NXP, in close collaboration with Arm.

'Telco has become an Arm ecosystem partner - and is the only such partner to enable NFV infrastructure.'

The group said it expected to receive initial sales from the new platform in 2017.

BATM hails fruits of becoming an ARM ecosystem partner


BATM expects to receive initial sales from the new platform in 2017.

Networking

A UCPE platform is a networking solution that converts network functions from hardware to software


BATM Advanced Communications Limited (LON:BVC) has hailed the launch of the electronics industry's first ARM-based universal Customer Premises Equipment (uCPE) platform.

ARM-based chips are particularly popular in mobile devices, and the Cambridge-based chip designer worked closely with BATM's wholly-owned subsidiary, Telco Systems, and Telco partner NXP Semiconductors (NASDAQ:NXPI) on the solution.

The uCPE platform uses Telco's NFVTime plug-and-play solution that enables network function virtualisation (NFV).

As a result, the group's NFV and software-defined network (SDN) solutions, which are already integrated with Intel-based platforms, are now available on all major architectures.

“We are honoured to have launched this solution in partnership with such established organisations as NXP Semiconductors and ARM, which demonstrates the strength of our offer,” declared Dr Zvi Marom, chief executive officer of BATM.

“We believe that it will accelerate the adoption of NFV/SDN in the telecoms market. It is also another milestone in the deployment of our strategy to focus on NFV and SDN solutions and further validates that transition. We are now the only provider of NFV solutions available on all major architectures, which enables the users to be truly hardware-free, and we look forward to expanding our sales in this area, which represents a key target growth-market for BATM," he added.

“BATM recorded a small loss in H1, but we note the traction evident in revenue development from the investments made in core technologies across the group. Investment continues and we note that the NAV [net asset value] per share of c16p likely significantly underplays the value to come from this investment activity,” said house broker, Shore Capital.

“The balance sheet remains robust with net cash and investments forecast at cUS$19m as at December 2017,” it added.

Shares in BATM rose 1% to 17.68p on the news.

Telco Systems, NXP and Arm Introduce New uCPE Offering

Oct 10, 2017


Companies collaborate to address market requirement for multi-technology and multi-vendor uCPE white box options

MANSFIELD, MA and AUSTIN, TX October 10, 2017 — Telco Systems, the leading provider of innovative SDN/NFV, CE 2.0, MPLS and IP solutions, together with NXP Semiconductors (NASDAQ:NXPI), a worldwide leader in advanced secure connectivity solutions, today announced the industry’s first Arm-based uCPE solution available in the market. In close collaboration with Arm, the solution combines a rich uCPE feature set on a multicore communications platform in the LS2088A that enables a performance, power and cost point not available in the market with existing architectures.

This advanced solution fulfills a market demand for multi-technology and multi-vendor uCPE white box solutions that enable telecom and managed service providers with more options to choose the best technology to address their operational environment and business targets.

By using NFVTime as the common uCPE NFVi OS software for Arm-based and other popular white box devices, service providers are now able to introduce this Arm uCPE without complicating the operation processes or compromising functionality and service capabilities at the MANO integration layer.

“Our new uCPE offering provides additional options for our customer to deploy NFV services and to address their specific operational requirements and business goals,” explained Raanan Tzemach, Vice President of Product Management and Marketing at Telco Systems. “We are proud to lead market innovations by working with strong market players like NXP and Arm.”

Telco Systems’ NFVTime is an open uCPE that includes a hardware agnostic NFVi-OS and uCPE MANO software solutions. NFVTime is service-ready with out-of-the-box support for SD-WAN, managed router, managed security, and other VNFs, which can be added remotely at any time.

The advanced uCPE white box offering is based on the Layerscape® LS2088A processor with eight 64-bit Arm Cortex®-A72 Cores. The processor cores in combination with integrated hardware acceleration for cryptographic processing, virtual forwarding and traffic management provide performance to support multi-gigabit routing and network services. Like all NXP Layerscape processors, the LS2088A includes Trust Architecture technology, which provides a secure hardware root of trust to ensure the integrity of operating software and network communications.

“NXP is pleased to enable the market and Telco Systems was the right partner to help expand the variety of uCPEs available and to highlight the functional advantages of our Layerscape platform,” said Noy Kucuk, vice president of product marketing for NXP. “This advanced uCPE will enable service providers to deploy securely multiple VNFs with high performance in multi-vendor environment.”

"A commercially deployable Arm-based uCPE solution from Telco Systems and NXP highlights the scalability and performance advantages of the Arm architecture and will accelerate our growing NFV ecosystem," said Drew Henry, senior vice president, Infrastructure Business Unit, Arm. "Collaborating with these two networking leaders further expands the breadth of efficient and flexible Arm-based uCPE platforms for operators and service providers."

At the SDN World Congress in The Hague, Netherlands on October 9-13, Arm will be demonstrating this joint uCPE offering at booth, number B27. At this event, Telco Systems will also be demonstrating this joint offering at Booth C9 as well as NXP at Booth B37.

Telco Systems Partners with NEC/Netcracker to Deliver NFV Service Chains Across Data Centers and at Customer Premises
Joint Solution Gives Telcos and Managed Service Providers Unique Customer Self-Service Capabilities to Manage Deployed VNFs

MANSFIELD, MA — October 5, 2017 —

Telco Systems, the leading provider of innovative CE 2.0, MPLS, IP, SDN/NFV solutions, and NEC/Netcracker, providers of software-defined networking (SDN) and network functions virtualization (NFV) solutions as well as business and operations support systems (BSS/OSS), today announced that the two companies are partnering to offer a joint solution that will support the rapid deployment of NFV service chains across data centers and at customer premises.

This new joint offering combines NEC/Netcracker's NaaS solution and Telco Systems' NFVTime solution. NEC/Netcracker NaaS is a full-stack solution comprising VNF onboarding, service design, hybrid operations and a complete business environment including a digital marketplace. With the integration of Telco Systems' NFVTime along with VNFs as part of NEC/Netcracker's Ecosystem 2.0 program, the combined solution using universal customer premises equipment (uCPE) enables service providers to seamlessly deploy NFV service chains that combine VNFs located in the NFV data center and at customer premises.

NFVTime gives telcos and managed service providers the service agility to smoothly deploy any VNF service chain, including SD-WAN, vRouter, vFirewall, vProbe, vSecurity and much more, remotely and at any time with zero-touch, plug-and-play provisioning.

As part of this joint solution, NFVTime is fully integrated with NEC/Netcracker's NaaS, including Network and Service Orchestration, to quickly bring NFV services to market and reduce the integration cost.

"Together, NEC/Netcracker and Telco Systems are collaborating in the NaaS market and developing solutions that enable service providers to quickly launch new multivendor value-added services at the network edge, capitalizing on the incredible opportunity to better serve the enterprise market," said Aidan Dunleavy, Director of Partner Alliances, Netcracker.

FSE - Fully agree with your sentiments and it just reads to me as though Zvi has written that spiel of heart sobbing reasons himself!! If not I bet he had a real big hand in it!

Well its not as though he is going to leave is it, so they could have made him wait another year like many other millions of people have had to do.

Poor Zvi, I am almost feeling sorry for him as it must be really tough looking after all those millions of pounds of cash and assets he already has and he still has to do a job that he ONLY gets paid for. Tough old life eh! Poor Oll Boy eh! I know, lets have a whip round to see if we can help him out.

>spekky.... thats about the size of it. Agree with your comments.
In itself the granting of options is not such a bad thing as they are at current price so no benefit unless the share price gets cracking and the game unfolds as management hope.
I suppose you could see it as expectation that we are heading for much more solid figures but then we have been living that dream for quite a few years now ...

At least the options are (approx) the current share price .........I would really be miffed if they were at a discount.Obviously we all hope 18.261p will look like a steal in 2 years time.It would have been more impressive if the option price was ,say,25p......
There is no risk to Zvi.....it would be nice if we could all invest that way,perhaps we should get warrants on a 1 for 1 basis for our long suffering.

On flat sales figures last reporting period (albeit with encouraging comment) the share price has languished. The AGM is either on Oct 13th or 18th they quote both dates ! The info is on their website under investors/AGM
Here is what they are voting on, listed below.
I feel they should have waited to have granted these "incentives" until the company went back into profit. Its not so much that I am against them but the timing is IMO inappropriate to say the least.

Resolution 6 – approval of grant of long-term incentives to the CEO, Dr. Zvi Marom: Since January
2014 the CEO's base salary has remained the same and the CEO has not been rewarded for his
special efforts in developing and making inroads into new very important business niches and new
potential markets (such as China for the Company's Bio-Med Division). The Company believes that
these efforts by the CEO will hopefully come to fruition over the next year or two, subject to the
Company being successful in bringing the new products and technologies to market on time and
subject to the global markets not entering into recession. The Board therefore believes that it is vital
to reward the CEO at an appropriate level for his contribution over the next three years and to
adequately incentivise him for continuing to grow these new opportunities, which the Board believes
could bring significant value to the shareholders. Accordingly, the Remuneration Committee has
recommended to the Board to grant the CEO five million options to purchase BATM ordinary shares.
The exercise price per share shall be a fixed price and not be under the average market price in the
month preceding the date of the Board Approval (being 18.261 pence per share) and the options
granted will vest as follows: at the end of twelve months – 0%; at the end of 24 months – 50%; and
at the end of 36 months – 50%. After reviewing the above proposed long-term grant and verifying
that its terms comply with the revised Remuneration Policy, the Board approved the above proposed
grant (subject to its approval by shareholders at the AGM) at its meeting on 13th September 2017.

>spekky..... hardly foolish IMO to be holding these at the moment.
The sum of the parts does not equal the SP, it falls far short.
The issue is that they have not had the revenue (so far) to support the case for investors to pile in so to speak.
When you take out institutional and Marom's holding there are actually not that many shares left for private investors.

It is frustrating BUT.......I wonder why the institutional holders don't seem interested in selling (or buying)......if there is a positive I can't see anything that would skew the share price downwards (fundraising etcetera).....There's every chance that some parts of the company will be sold at considerable profit.No fool like an old fool but I am holding.
