Founded in 1982 in California, we operated from 1983 to 1988 in Berkeley California under ARC Data Systems. In 1988 we relocated to Eugene, Oregon, and incorporated as Advanced Relay Corporation (ARC). ARC developed and marketed LayGO®, a multiprotocol toolkit targeted at integrators of PC-based WANs, such as X.25 packet routers, bridges, switches, gateways, Frame Relay access devices, packet assembler/disassemblers and packet multiplexers. In addition we combined the use of LayGO® protocols with Ethernet, TCP or UDP/IP and FTP. In 2004, we introduced the PXS (Protocol eXchange Server), a microprocessor based external communication server that combines LayGO®, TCP/IP with a powerful microprocessor.
The company's primary markets are companies who need to incorporate legacy equipment into their IP networks: telecom, aviation, transportation, banking and defense. In addition, Advanced Relay provides consulting services, such as software porting, customization and certification, to facilitate the integration of Advanced Relay's products into customers' systems.

ARC released this new website.
2009
- ARC received the first PXSu prototypes.
- NATO Belgium uses the PXSe as X.25 to TCP/IP Gateway.
- MIT Lincoln Labs uses the PXSe synchronous to TCP/IP gateway.
- ARC continued the development of the PXSu. The product was tested at 4 Mbps full duplex HDLC with V.35 and RS-422 differential interfaces.
- ARC started developing a new website.
2008
- ARC started work on the PXSu (LayGO® USB to Synchronous) adapter.
- For QinetiQ we implemented a special BERT (Bit Error Rate Test) to test satellite links.
- We upgraded Guam Cell to include leased line V.35 DSU connections from Saipan to Guam.
- After several months of pilot testing with increasing numbers of PXS gateways replacing the ISDN Terminal Adapters, Swisscom approved the use of the PXS FTAM/X.25-to-SFTP/TCP/IP gateway in their FixNet. All switches are now using the PXS.
- With Swisscom's approval we released the new version of the PXS. It will replace the previous PXS.
- Because of temporary delivery problems of the Digi Sync 570i PCI adapters used by several customers, we ported LayGO® to the MicroGate 2/4-line FPGA based PCI synchronous adapter.
2007
- For the Swisscom Fixnet project we added APIUS (Automatic PXS Installation and Update Services) Services and a Java interface to the PXS Remote Control Server.
- In a joint operation with Innovative Systems we developed the BSC 3780/BSC interface for the Siemens Carlson/Stromberg. The PXS is used as BMC/3780-to-LFTP gateway. The system was successfully employed on multiple switches and works error-free.
- In cooperation with EINSTEIN Technology Taiwan and China Telecom (CHTC) we successfully collected CDR files from a Siemens EWSD using our PXS FTAM/X.25-to-SFTP/TCP/IP gateway. All tests were done remotely from our office in Eugene using a secure connection. Due to CHTC reorganization the project is on hold and IBM Taiwan replaced Einstein Technology.
- We tested successfully the first PXS2 prototypes. We applied for most relevant international acceptance tests and past them all. We also decided to build additional RoHS compliant units.
- Guam Cell (now Docomo Pacific) used our PXS for CDR capture from Motorola EMX2500 switches both in Guam and Saipan (Mariana Islands).
- Implemented Nortel XFER/X.25-to-LFTP/TCP/IP Gateway.
- In cooperation with FinAvia Helsinki, we remotely tested several radar interfaces: RDIF, HDLC/LAPB. For the tests we used the PXS as HDLC-to-TCP/IP gateway. Due to ongoing reorganization, the project was put on hold.
2006
- Megasys Computer Technologies in Alberta, Canada uses the PXS to connect to Alcatel radios.
- Because the lack of qualified manpower at Telekom Darmstadt, T-Systems Göppingen informed us that the FixNet Project was put on hold. No feasibility testing was planned.
- Swisscom decided to approve feasibility testing of the PXS FTAM/X.25-to-SFTP/TCP/IP gateway for their FixNet, a mix of Siemens EWSD and Ericsson AXE switches. Swisscom's requirement was to use SFTP between the PXSs and the collector. We evaluated several SFTP solutions and selected Mocana's SFTP client. As SFTP server, we tested the Linux implementation, and both parts were working correctly. In cooperation with Aartesys and Swisscom, the tests were successfully completed by end of December, and Swisscom gave the green light for the project.
- Remote System Integration uses the PXS as TCP/IP-to-X.25 gateway to remotely communicate to airports using a leased line V.35 connection.

2005
- In a joint project with Aartesys Switzerland, Swisscom selected ARC's PXS X.Net gateway for their Payphone Project. Rather than using phone books, Swiss payphones use interactive terminals. Multiple terminals are connected to one terminal controller. About 60 terminal controllers are now connected via X.25 to the PXS X.Net and from there to a Swisscom intranet.
- ARC in a joint project with Telesciences, we upgraded TDS Madison CDR collector and BMC HDLC/NRM (SDLC Link Layer) protocol software using the Digi Sync 470i 4-line cards and Windows XP.
- ARC started development for PXS2, an upgraded version of the PXS with simpler design but more flexibility.
- We upgraded Volt Delta Resources X.25-to-UDP gateway to LayGO® and Windows XP for the ATComm4 ISA 4-line synchronous adapters. The product is used by now AT&T and Verizon for Directory Assistance Services.
- Because of problems reported by Alcatel's LayGO®/PCMCIA customers with Sealevel's PCMCIA cards in newer notebooks, ARC ported LayGO® to Microgate SyncLink PCMCIA card. The product was certified by WIPRO Bangalore, Alcatel's Shanghai technical support for the WinBSC (Cellular Base Station Controller).
- ARC started work implementing the FTAM protocol. In the first step, we used the Siemens/Fujitsu FTAM library, and TCP/IP as underlying protocol.
- In cooperation with T-Systems Göppingen and Telekom Darmstadt, we developed a project plan to upgrade the FixNet from FTAM/X.25/ISDN to (S) FTP/TCP/IP/Ethernet an intranet. The German Telekom uses Siemens EWSD and Alcatel S12 switches with RS-422 interfaces. The switches are connected to Siemens ISDN BRI terminal adapters.
2004
- In a joint operation with Technical Direct (UK) Cable & Wireless (France, acquired in 2012 by Vodaphone), we completed the software terminating the X.25 and AFT protocol at our Protocol eXchange Server (PXS). We developed client/server file transfer software that transfers files residing on one or on multiple DMS-100E switches to a remote file collector using TCP/IP. Cable & Wireless approved the PXS for their European network of nine Nortel DMS-100E switches. Since April 2004 the PXS has been fully employed and operational, with great cost and maintenance benefits for Cable & Wireless.
- Advanced Relay developed DLM (Data Line Monitor) software allowing the PXS to be programmed to operate as a dedicated DLM. Other than the software TAP, the PXS DLM uses a customized T-cable to be inserted between a communicating DTE and DCE.
- The PXS is released, and we received the first 100 units from Comtrol Corp.
2003

The product was completed by Advanced Relay. However, Ericsson cancelled the project with SBS.
- Advanced Relay completed work on the PXS, an embedded LayGO® server using an ARM7 network processor. Advanced Relay and Technical Direct (UK) joined forces to use the PXS as a protocol exchange server for DMS-100E switches used by Cable & Wireless France (Since 2012 part of Vodaphone). The PXS terminates the AFT/X.25 data and forwards the CDR files via a file client/server module to a remote CDR file collector. We customized the Nortel AFT (Automatic File Transfer) protocol to be compatible to the DMS-100E used in Europe. First tests at Cable & Wireless were completed by the end of 2003.
