History
Abilis GmbH is a German Group established in Munich in 1980 to develop solutions in the IBM arena, with emphasis on mainframe architectures. With a history in computer programming and software formation, the founders were keen to develop products which allowed wide spread implementation of exclusive technologies.

By the early 90s Abilis had evolved to specialise in two areas of pure engineering: the creation of electronic systems for advanced telecommunication networks and the development of software for computer aided design. The IBM Systems Network Architecture (SNA) and associated protocols (e.g. SDLC data link protocol) were key features of these developments.

1993 saw the first complete independent Abilis multiplexing system for data only, designed to enhance X.25 data networks, namely in the financial industry, by multiplexing various streams of data traffic over a single network channel. Rapid development and expansion of the system has been taking place since, to provide us with the Abilis system of today.

The Abilis WAN System now supports: an extensive range of private and public network connections and protocols, toll quality voice compression and other operational, functional and multiplexing features. Retaining some of its original design supporting legacy networks, the Abilis WAN system is a multi-service platform allowing users to take advantage of old and new technologies, as efficiency and business operations demand.

Abilis research and development programmers demonstrated their innovation when the Abilis system became one of the first to support toll quality voice compression over ISDN dial-up.

Since Abilis was established, the group has grown to extend its penetration across Europe. Various subsidiaries and reseller channels have been established providing for a broad range of telecom and IT needs more locally to clients. The latest addition to the Group is Telplex, UK Distributors for Abilis, set up to continue and expand the delivery of successful solutions configured around client needs.

Dedicated Abilis software houses continuously research for the development of new products. Today the company has over 30 engineers located in its specialist Research and Development centers in Germany and North Italy.

With effect from 1999, Abilis customers enjoyed the advantage of being able to rent equipment instead of having a large capital outlay on a technological purchase, the first 1999 semester revenue of $2M testifies to the success of this rental scheme.
