Writer: Municipal Research Department, written by Zhang Mingqin
I. General
Israel in recent years in the field of communications, software, biotechnology, information technology and other high-tech performance, large multinational high-tech enterprises such as IBM, Intel, HP, Motorola and other companies have R & D centers in Israel, Israel. The number of Israeli companies listed on NASDAQ, NYSE and ASE exceeds 100, second only to Canada among all foreign companies. In addition to signing a reciprocal agreement with the U.S., Israel has also signed a no-tariff-barrier agreement with the European Union, and the system integration products and extended chip designs developed by its industry enjoy high visibility in the global information and communications field.
According to estimates by the Israel Electronics Industry Association (IEIA), the growth of Israel's electronics industry in 1999 continued to be extraordinary, with the country's total electronics industry output in 1999 amounting to $8.55 billion, an increase of 8.9 percent over 1998. Exports amounted to $7.13 billion, an increase of 8.9% over the 1998 figure of $6.55 billion. The total number of employees in the electronics industry in China*** is 45,800, including 28,300 technicians, engineers and scientists*** at all levels, of which 15,200 are university graduates, which is a high standard.
In 1999, the average production value per employee in the Israeli electronics industry reached US$187,000, much higher than the 1984 figure of US$46,700. This shows that the information, electronics, communications and software industries in Israel are moving towards high value-added technological products year after year, so that the output per employee can be among the highest in the global market. A chart showing the output and sales of the electronics industry in Israel over the years is shown in Figure 1.

Figure 1 shows that the basis for the development of the electronics industry in Israel is based on exports, as the population of the country is only 5.9 million people, and the growth rate of the domestic market for information, electronics and communications products is quite limited unless there is new growth. The growth rate of the domestic market for information, electronics, and communications products is quite limited, and unless new products are constantly being introduced, it is difficult to see a significant increase each year. Therefore, the information, communication and electronics industry must strive for international market orders every year. In the last two years, the proportion of exports of the electronics industry in Israel to the overall output value of the electronics industry has averaged more than 83%, in order to drive the industry to continue to prosper and develop.
As for the improvement of employee productivity in the Israeli electronics industry, please refer to Figure II. From 1987 to 1999, the growth in output per employee was about 8% per year, a steady increase in productivity and an impressive average rate.

In fact, in Israel's information, electronics, and communications industry, the manufacturing areas that play an important role are civilian communications and data communications equipment, defense electronics systems, industrial control and medical electronics, and electronic parts. In fact, the manufacturing fields that play an important role in Israel's ICT industry are civil communication and data communication equipment, defense electronic systems, industrial control and medical electronics, and electronic parts production, which account for 42.4%, 21.7%, 21.3%, and 14.6% of the value of the country's national ICT industry, respectively. As for exports, the rankings were slightly adjusted, with civil communication and data communication equipment as the top export, followed by industrial control and medical electronic equipment, electronic parts, and defense electronic system products, which accounted for 43.8%, 24.2%, 16.5%, and 15.5%, respectively, of the total exports of the information, communication, and electronics industry. This is shown in Figure III.

A careful analysis of Israel's exports of various electronic products, according to the statistical chart of the changes in the export of Israel's major information, communication and electronics products shown in Figure 4, it can be seen that the exports of Israel's defense-related electronic systems are due to the political environment of the countries around the world vary greatly from year to year, making it more difficult for the export of defense-related electronic systems. As a result, it is difficult to effectively control the yearly fluctuation of the export situation, so the export situation is sometimes good and sometimes bad. In the future, Israel's export of airborne early warning aircraft ordered by China*** should grow year by year. The main defense electronics products, including maritime, ground and air radar, missiles and guidance systems, anti-missile devices and heading positioning systems, shooting control devices, command, control and communications intelligence systems, night vision and simulation training devices, etc., exported to areas around the globe where the threat of war is more serious.
But civilian electronic equipment has shown an annual growth rate of more than 10%, making it a stable export item for Israel in recent years. In the case of civilian electronic equipment, telecommunication equipment and data communication equipment are the most popular export items, with an average annual growth rate of 24.4% over the last four years, which is quite remarkable. The main output items include SDH, xDSL, digital switching equipment, cable data machines, message management systems, wireless LANs, satellite communication equipment, multiplexers, fiber optic equipment, bridges, digital coding and authentication devices, firewalls, ATMs and routers, and other high-tech precision devices. In the global Internet and wireless communication boom, all kinds of wired and wireless transmission, relay or terminal equipment made in Taiwan are very popular, so exports are booming.
In the field of industrial electronics and medical systems, the technology-intensive products include computerized printed circuit board production and testing equipment, electronic parts production systems and control equipment, testing equipment, education and training systems, consumer products, security equipment, video compression and video conferencing technology, multimedia devices, diagnostic imaging equipment, surgical equipment, and surveillance systems. Outputs. As for electronic components, they include foundry, microprocessor production, chip resistors, capacitors, power supplies, transformers, batteries, CRTs, printed circuit boards, detectors, quartz oscillators and other microwave and microelectronic components, which are also competitive for export.

In order to gain a deeper understanding of the current situation of Israel's information, electronics, and communications industry, we have chosen to introduce the recent developments of the key industries and the related manufacturers, and to provide a reference for those interested in the industry.
Semiconductor Manufacturers
IC Design Industry
Israel's IC design industry, unlike ours, is mainly engaged in the development of ICs for consumer electronics, personal computers, or peripheral related equipment, and is investing in the deepest areas of data and broadband communication related ICs, and will gradually enter the development of integrated circuits related to information appliances in the future. For example, Infineon Semiconductor, one of the three largest semiconductor companies in Europe, is optimistic about the design capabilities of Israel in the digital subscriber loop (DSL), and announced on April 28, 2000, that it would buy the Israeli semiconductor design company, Savan, to strengthen the strength of its entry into the xDSL field.
Savan, an Israeli semiconductor design company with a leading position in DSL integration solutions, has always been committed to the development of the DSL broadband transmission equipment and components market, and is currently one of the most important technology leaders in the European xDSL broadband market. Savan specializes in the design of VDSL (Very high bitrate Digital Subscriber Line) chips and has a long history of research and development in this field. The VDSL products designed by Savan meet the requirements of ANSI (American National Standards Institute), FSAN (Full Service Access Network group) and ETSI (European Telecommunication Service Institute). ETSI (European Telecommunication Standards Institute) industry standards.
According to a Reuters report, Texas Instrument is acquiring a stake in Israel-based Libit Signal Processing Semiconductor Design for $329 million. Libit specializes in cable data systems, TV set-top boxes, and chips for digital TVs, Libit specializes in chips for cable data systems, TV set-top boxes, and digital televisions.
The acquisition shows that DEI is very interested in the market for these chips, which are used in information appliances.
In fact, the U.S. company already acquired Butterfly VLSI IC Design, another Israeli company in a similar product development area, in January 2000 for $50 million, which manufactures short-range link RF ICs in the 900MHz and 2.4GHz bands. Galileo Technology, another Israeli LAN switch IC maker, will form an alliance with Radlan Computer Communications, a data communications powerhouse that is also based in Israel, to formally enter the Layer 3 switch IC market for high-speed networks.
According to a survey conducted by Detaquest, the global market for switch ICs (both Layer 2 and Layer 3) will continue to grow from $342 million in 1998 to $910 million in 2002.
Demand for Layer 2 switching chips remains high. Galileo, for example, saw its second-quarter 1999 revenue grow 61% to $18.3 million compared to the same period in 1998, and its net income was $6.1 million, a 97% jump from the same period in 1998, due to strong demand for its Layer 2 switching chips and system controller products. Profitability is very high and future growth is still expected.
Galileo is one of the world's top 20 IC design companies and a leader in the data communications field, with unlimited potential for future growth. In the future, Galileo will provide Radlan's Layer 2 switch ICs (for 10/100/1,000Mbps networks), GalNet-II series, with Radlan's routing engine and software to be sold to OEMs. In addition to Layer 2 applications, Galileo will also be able to support virtual area networks (VANs) such as data-packet routing and virtualized area networks (VANs). In addition to supporting Layer 2 applications, Radlan also supports higher Layer 3 applications such as data-packet routing and Virtual LAN.
With the Galileo chipset paired with Radlan products, OEMs can directly upgrade the GalNet-II chipset to include Layer 3 capabilities in their systems. In the future, the company will continue to sell GalNet-Ⅱ chipsets that have not been upgraded to Layer 3. Radlan's routing engine, Opal, can process 2.5 million packets per second. The company's Routing Operating System is capable of Layer 3 system performance and performs many complex tasks, Mr. Kahn said, adding that the company's customers are highly interested in Layer 3, and that Radlan's solution is suitable for OEMs that do not yet have experience with Layer 3. Many customers want Layer 3 capabilities but don't want to get involved in complex software issues.
Galileo plans to soon release the GalNet-III, a mature Layer 3 switch chip for 10/100/1,000Mbps networks that will be able to handle 40 million packets per second, which will also be paired with the Radlan Layer 3 suite of software. Currently, major competitors in the global switching chip market, including Allayer, Broadcom, MMC Networks, PMC-Sierra, and Vertex, have introduced Layer 3 switching chips for 10/100/1,000Mbps networks.
Layer 2 switches deliver data over the LAN, while Layer 3 switches support a number of specific applications and services, such as IP routing of data packets, classification, prioritization, and policy-based network management.

2. Foundry status
Tower Semiconductor, Israel's professional foundry, has maintained a good working relationship with the U.S. and Motorola for many years, and in 1999 the two sides renewed a three-year foundry agreement, which will continue to supply Tower with high-quality wafer fabrication services for Motorola. According to the agreement, Motorola can use Tower to provide a number of processes, but also will transfer the process technology to Tower, or customized for the special needs of Motorola IC process. Motorola's strategy is to provide 50% of the company's IC production capacity through foundries, which is another cooperation case after Motorola cooperated with TSMC and Singapore Chartered Semiconductor.
Because Tower Semiconductor, China's wafer foundry companies such as Taiwan's Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (SMIC) and UMC's strong competition, the future will gradually fade out of the logic chip market, and shift to embedded non-volatile memory chips, CMOS image sensors (CMOS Image Sensor; CIS) and mixed-signal ICs and other products. In addition to this way to avoid conflicts and create corporate value, Tower is also actively seeking cooperation with other semiconductor manufacturers to exchange 0.18-micron process technology with the company's high-density flash memory technology, microflash, and the funds raised will be channeled to the second fab in the pipeline to cope with the update of process technology.
Tower said the original CMOS logic chip in the fourth quarter of 1997 accounted for 90% of the company's total output, is expected to the fourth quarter of 2000 will slip 10%, while the global flash memory market is expanding dramatically under the circumstances, the future embedded Microflash memory products will account for 40% of the total output, CMOS image sensors and mixed-signal ICs account for 20% each. The newest addition to the portfolio will be a new generation of memory products, which will be available in a range of colors and sizes.
In order to move in the direction of the aforementioned, after continuous communication and efforts, Toshiba Corporation in Japan at the end of 1999, decided to authorize Tower semiconductor processing technology, to provide the most advanced semiconductor microfabrication technology with a line width of 0.18-0.15 microns, and at the same time, will also be Tower plans to put into operation in the second half of 2001, the new process plant, investment of about 1 billion yen. The plant will not only utilize Toshiba's licensed processing technology, but will also produce system-integrated chips for Toshiba's digital home appliances and network equipment.
It is understood that Japan's Toshiba commissioned by China's Huabang Electronics OEM production of DRAM, logic IC and other products, but because of the company's plans for the 2002 fiscal year, semiconductor revenue of more than 20% of the commissioned by the external manufacturers, in order to decentralize the source of the foundry, it is actively and Israel's well-known wafer foundry Tower cooperation.
Again, Tower Semiconductor and the U.S. National Semiconductor (NS) has signed a cooperation agreement for many years, by the Tower company for NS Semiconductor foundry manufacturing wafers, and recently renewed the foundry agreement for two years, will provide the National Semiconductor core CMOS and non-volatile memory technology, which can be proved to be the prospects for the foundry industry in the United States in the world of information and communications technology, will continue to have a good chance of success in the continued growth of the situation. In this way, we can prove that the future of the foundry industry in China will continue to have room for maneuver in the global information and communication industry.
In fact, our industry Macronix Electronics, in 1999 with Israel's integrated circuit (IC) company Saisun strategic alliance, interactive authorization *** with the design of high-density 32M Flash products, coming in July 2000, which makes Macronix become Taiwan's first production of 32M Flash manufacturers. In addition, Macronix due to insufficient fab capacity, but also plans to Saisun relationship with the Israeli wafer foundry Tower signed a foundry contract, by Tower monthly allocation of thousands of 8-inch wafer production capacity to Macronix for Macronix production of high-density Flash products, to solve the problem of foundry production.
3. IC Manufacturing
Intel spent $1.6 billion to build Fab 18, an 8-inch wafer fab in Israel, which is located in the southern town of Kiryat Gat, Israel. Intel has already begun mass production of its PC heart microprocessor Pentium III 733 MHz chips in the fab, which uses a 0.18 micron process. The chip.
In response to Intel's investment in Israel, Intel established its first 6-inch wafer fab and R&D center in Haifa, Israel in 1974, with a monthly production capacity of approximately 26,000 wafers, mainly producing logic ICs and flash memory. Currently, the Haifa R&D center is Intel's only overseas design center. The architecture of the Pentium MMX, the central processor for personal computers, is also one of the R&D achievements of the center, and the center is also responsible for the development of a number of network communication chips.
Since 1996, Intel has invested as much as $35 million in a variety of high-tech companies in Israel, including the Internet, communications, broadband and Internet security, and Intel has exported more than $2 billion in products to Israel, generating considerable foreign exchange for the country each year.
Additionally, according to a recent report by Reuters on May 2, 2000, Intel plans to invest an additional $2.5 billion to $3.5 billion in expanding its wafer fabs in Israel. In 1999, Intel invested $1.6 billion in a wafer fab in the southern town of Kiryat Gat, $600 million of which was financed by the Israeli government, and which is producing $1.8 billion of 0.18 micron chips annually. This new investment will be used to produce 0.18 micron microprocessors. This new investment will be used to produce 0.13 micron microprocessors at a scale of $2 billion per year and add 2,000-3,000 manpower to Intel's impressive production scale.
Three communications vendors
1. Mobile device Internet access technology
Israeli company PassCall Advanced Technology, in an effort to solve the problem of wireless communication mobile device Internet access, claimed that it can develop a solution that allows any kind of mobile device (including PDAs, PVAs in cars, or cellular telephones) to directly access the Internet without having to rewrite Web pages. PassCall Advanced Technology claims to be able to develop technology that allows any mobile device (including PDAs, PVAs in cars, or cell phones) to directly access the Internet without rewriting Web pages. The company, which recently received investment from microprocessor giant Intel Capital, is a new high-tech company with a fairly short history. The new technology developed by the company is called GateWave, which is based on the principle of creating a pyramid-shaped directory in addition to the web page and displaying it on mobile communication devices for users to choose from. By changing the way web pages are delivered, it avoids the tedious process of rewriting the entire web page, which is indeed a revolutionary new concept.
2. Internet phone equipment
Samsung Electric and Israel's RAD VISION **** with the development of Internet phone equipment, the two sides signed a letter of intent (LOI). Samsung Electro-Mechanics will utilize H.323 Protocol, the core specification for VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol) developed by RAD VISION, to produce VoIP equipment, and both companies plan to develop strategic products together. At the same time, Samsung Electro-Mechanics, in conjunction with Samsung Venture Capital, will invest in RAD VISION to accelerate the new product development process.
And mainland China's Huawei Technologies has also established a technical partnership with Israel's VocalTec for IP telephony equipment, according to China's Chinabyte, which reported that Shenzhen's Huawei Technologies will establish a strategic partnership with Israel's VocalTec to ****together promote the development of IP telephony equipment technology and the market. Huawei currently produces a full range of IP telephony equipment, network management and billing certification products, and can provide comprehensive solutions. Its commercialized IP telephony device, the Quidway A8010 IP-Phone, has also been formally announced. Huawei hopes that its IP telephony devices will be able to enter the mainland China and international markets smoothly through Israeli technology.
As for our country, XUNWEI has been playing a pioneering role in the domestic Internet telephony market, cooperating with Israel's VocalTec, the earliest developer of Internet telephony technology, to introduce Internet telephony into the country since 1997, and laying down its leading position. Now, we have launched the Aplio Phone, an Internet phone box that allows you to make international calls online without a computer as long as you use your home phone. The operation is as simple as making a phone call, both callers only need to have an ordinary push-button phone, telephone line, Internet dialing account (such as SEED NET, HINET...etc.) and the Aplio Phone Internet phone box, through the Internet auto-dialing, that is to say, you can make international long-distance phone calls by adding the cost of the Internet dialing to the local telephone charges, and it costs only about NT$1.00 per minute. It only costs about NT$1.7 per minute, saving up to 95% of the telephone bill. In addition, the product is portable, can be used anytime, anywhere, and is available in more than 10 languages. By then, the ecology of domestic use of IDD calls will change to a new era of "easy international calls".
Four, the software industry and manufacturers
Israel's software industry is developed, with India and the Western countries rely on an important source of software talent, its R & D suite of software is mainly export-oriented, export performance every year there is a good growth, and there are up to more than 160 Israeli software vendors in the U.S. Wall Street and high-tech NASDAQ stock market listing, a record of success! The company is second only to Canada in terms of fundraising.
Israel's soft goods industry, and our country is also facing the same domestic market shortage of difficulties, but still the development of a very successful, compared to our soft goods industry can only operate in the domestic market, most of the situation is quite different. First of all, 95% of its software industry engaged in B2B business, and to the international market (especially the U.S. market) is the main, due to the Israeli people living habits and thinking logic and Americans the same, so its development of e-commerce related software in the U.S. market is quite competitive.
In addition, the software industry is not only responsible for writing programs, but also for paying attention to various specifications, agreements, and customer service. As a result, most Israeli software companies are headquartered in the U.S. and employ Americans to head their companies in order to be close to the market. Even so, the industry and investors still think it's an Israeli software company because the product development is handled by Israeli engineers.
On the other hand, Israel is often organized by the government delegation to the U.S. market for lobbying activities, coupled with the power of the Jews in Washington, D.C., as well as on Wall Street, often in the U.S. market set off a whirlwind. In addition, Israel's software industry also transferred many technologies from the military. For example, the Israeli military aircraft, there is a kind of enemy identification device, if applied to financial services, is a kind of authentication technology.
The characteristics of the software industry and the important manufacturers of the current situation, finishing analysis as follows:
Software export development is rapid
Software industry is the development of Israel's export industry is quite rapid, the country's software export amount of each year to a considerable increase in the amount of information beyond the hard or communications equipment export growth rate, the amount of exports of more than 1.5 billion U.S. dollars in 1999, more than 1 billion U.S. dollars in 1997, the amount of exports of more than 1 billion U.S. dollars. In 1999, exports exceeded $1.5 billion, a 50% increase over the 1997 figure of $1 billion, a remarkable achievement.
(2) The ability to develop a wide range of software products
Israel's software industry has always been in line with the development of the global information and communications industry, in response to the latest hardware platforms, to change and strive for innovation. Over the past eight years, the Israeli software industry has achieved remarkable results, with an average annual growth rate of more than 30%, and has been able to develop a wide range of software products. However, the Israeli software industry has always been active in the fields of global artificial intelligence, instant messaging systems, expert systems, e-commerce platforms and databases, and specializes in the development of software packages related to the defense and military, education and research, manufacturing and marketing, finance and accounting, healthcare, and multimedia communication industries.
The software industry in Israel has invested in different research areas, such as multimedia, video, voice recognition, artificial intelligence, computer virus prevention, data communications, firewalls, computer-aided design and applications, confidentiality and data security, and Internet, etc., and is proud to have outstanding companies that compete in the world market.
(3) International manufacturers are located in many
According to the information provided by the Israel Economic and Cultural Office in Taipei, there are 13,000 talented software specialists in the State of Israel***, 60% of whom are engineers and technicians, and they are located in more than 350 software studios throughout the State of Israel. Because of their expertise and wisdom, these specialists are actively working on the development of various types of softwares, developing unique methods and creating standards of excellence for cutting-edge technologies and products in Israel.
At the same time, it also attracts many famous foreign manufacturers to set up software or new product R&D centers, such as MICROSOFT, IBM, INTEL, MOTOROLA, NATIONAL SEMICONDUCTOR, SILICON GRAPHICS, and HP, etc., which are well-known multinational corporations in the United States. The company has set up R&D centers in the United States.
In fact, the U.S. Microsoft (Microsoft) in addition to its own R & D centers, to participate in the investment of new technology companies in Israel is also quite active, such as with Israel's Gilat Satellite Networks **** group of new companies, plans for the MSN Internet access services, to provide bi-directional broadband satellite services. Microsoft is investing $50 million for a 26 percent stake in the new company, which will be called Gilat-To-Home and will focus on enabling home users to enjoy high-speed, broadband satellite Internet access.
It is also worth noting that Israel has been recognized as a leading country in these areas due to the outstanding contributions made by the government and the business community in the areas of Web site development, JAVA support software, Internet security facilities and software, corporate intranet solutions, flash memory storage and e-commerce software.
(4) Venture Capital Fund Favorite
As Israel's software strength is globally renowned, in addition to Microsoft's R&D center in Israel and its investment in a number of software vendors, there are also many extremely powerful software vendors, such as the development of the world's first VoIP phone, Vocaltec; Edusoft, which has a strong foothold in the education software market; T.I. S, which is known for its document imaging; Magazine, which specializes in application systems; and T.I. S, which is a leader in the field of software development in Israel. S, Magic, which specializes in application systems, and Mercury, which specializes in software testing.
Thus, global venture capital funds are highly interested in the development of the software industry in Israel and are actively seeking investment targets in the country. As a matter of fact, 24% of the VC funds in Israel have already flowed into the soft goods industry, topping the list of VC funds investing in a single industry and totaling more than $162 million annually. In addition, the United States also has a lot of high-tech funds often send staff to Israel to study the development of the soft industry, the potential of its much affirmed, and invested a lot of venture capital to support the long-term development of the soft industry in Israel. As a result, the country's softgoods industry is developing rapidly, and the future outlook continues to look promising.
(E) Vendors' management and R&D priorities
In order to understand the current situation of the software industry in Israel, we hereby summarize the relevant key points from the Internet and newspapers and magazines as follows:
1. Internet Translation Softwares
Babylon, an Israeli company, launched its 9-language on-line real-time translation softwares in March, 2000, which include Chinese language, and is now actively seeking cooperation with other countries. The company is now actively seeking cooperation opportunities with major ICPs and ISPs in various countries to promote its free software and online translation services.
At present, about 70% of the world's computer users are non-native English speakers, but 78% of the content on the Web is in English, and 96% of e-commerce sites are in English. Babylon's online translation software, which can translate from English to Chinese, Japanese, German, Spanish, French, Hebrew, Dutch and other languages with a high degree of accuracy, is expected to reach 80% of the global market for English-language Web sites and benefit users in non-English-speaking countries.
Another company, ACCENT SOFTWARE, has introduced advanced multi-language translation technology that allows users to create documents in more than 30 languages in left-to-right (e.g., English) or right-to-left (e.g., Hebrew) formats, and to synchronize the translation of English-language materials from Internet windows into Spanish, French, Italian, German, or Dutch text and speech, making it possible for the company to provide a more accurate translation of English-language documents. The system is also able to synchronize the translation of English data displayed in Windows into Spanish, French, Italian, German, or Dutch text and speech, making it a convenient and interactive dictionary.
Software development for system platforms
Israeli APPLICOM SOFTWARE INDUSTRIES specializes in solving software problems for various system platforms, providing multi-platform conferencing systems that allow multiple users to be on-line. The electronic combat systems currently used by the Israeli military, including the command and control system for a set of anti-missile simulators, were developed by the company based on the Microsoft Windows and Windows NT systems. The current electronic combat systems used by the military, including an anti-missile simulator command and control system, are developed by the company based on the Microsoft Windows and Windows NT systems.
Development of anti-virus software and computer protection programs
CARMEL SOFTWARE, which has released a popular anti-virus software for personal computers, has successfully developed a new type of personal computer security program called INFOLOCK, which ensures that only authorized users have access to specific sensitive information, and can store sensitive information on diskettes, hard drives and other devices. The INFOLOCK program ensures that only authorized users have access to certain sensitive information and is able to decode data and programs stored on disks, hard drives, and the Internet online.
Another industry is developing a network security protection center called SkyShield (NetGuard Control Center), to solve the problem of network security and effective and rational allocation of network resources for today's WINDOWS NT platform, the most dazzling network security protection system, the system covers firewalls, bandwidth management, network redirection, network authentication, real-time monitoring and enterprise virtual network and other options. The system covers firewalls, bandwidth management, network redirection, network authentication, real-time monitoring, and enterprise virtual networks and other options, providing 100% feasibility for the transmission of video technology needs through the network.
4. E-commerce related software
While EC e-commerce is booming, the security of online transactions is getting more and more attention. By our Ding Sheng business machine company's agent of the Israeli NetGuard Control Center (NCC) company network security system, can provide the Internet Internet transactions good network security solutions. As many websites have been hacked, the importance of Internet transaction security has been increasingly emphasized. Firewalls are often seen as the best way to address network security, but network security can not rely on firewalls can be completely resolved, if you want to achieve real network security protection, it is necessary to match the overall program, including the effective use of network bandwidth resources, VPN enterprise virtual network, NAT network redirection function, Real-Time Monitor instant monitoring.
The NCC network security system, with Windows WINDOW NT platform, has a safe and fast Guardian Firewall, and includes bandwidth management, VPN, NAT, Authentication user authorization, Real-Time Monitor and other functions. DXN points out that the real-time monitoring function, when the site appears suspicious of the action, you can get a moderate warning effect.
Another South Korean Samsung Electronics for the expansion of the U.S. digital TV market for the fight, and the Israeli business NDS strategic alliance, *** with the development of digital program broadcasting specifications, the agreement on interactive digital TV production by Samsung Electronics, projection equipment by the U.S. Harris is responsible for the development of the supply of electronic transaction security system developed by the Israeli manufacturer NDS is responsible for the development.
5. Digital Signature System
TTR, an Israeli software company, has developed a digital signature system that can be written into optical media products at the same time as they are produced. Without the original signature, the software on the CD-ROM cannot be used, and the signature cannot be copied with a burner or rewritten, effectively stopping the theft of software, games, music, and movies.
Medical software
Casdim Software, a studio specializing in the development of computerized software systems for medical and diagnostic functions, has developed a suite of software for managing and administering medical laboratories, as well as a set of data management systems for monitoring the health of pregnant women and fetuses, which is compatible with most treble-tongue wave systems. It is compatible with most treble wave systems and can integrate automated instruments in ultrasound laboratories using a single interface with stable functionality, making it highly practical.
Multimedia-related software
Whether it is multimedia teaching and entertainment systems, computerized education and training, optical character recognition, speech recognition, artificial intelligence, virtual audio-visual systems, and enhanced compression and decompression programs for video and sound, there are quite a number of software companies from other countries who are engaged in the development of multimedia-related software, and the various multimedia softwares that they have developed, due to the logic of thinking and behavioral norms are the same as those in the Western world, which has gradually opened up the European and American markets. The software is also used in the development of various multimedia applications, which are based on the same logic of thinking and behavior as the Western world.
(6) Intellectual Property Rights Protection Still Needs Efforts
From the above introduction, it can be seen that Israel's software industry is booming, and the use of IT in the private sector is quite common, so there are huge business opportunities for software. However, the use of pirated software in this country is serious, because it is easy to obtain and inexpensive, and illegal importation from neighboring countries is rampant, and pirated copies are also quite common. For this reason, the U.S. Business Software Alliance (BSA) has carried out a number of crackdowns on the rampant piracy of music and software CDs in Israel. The U.S. has also prioritized Israel as a target for observation and has asked the country to strengthen its intellectual property rights laws and regulations.
