BATM

BATM is a computer science topic covered in the lgStudy science library. This page brings together a partial reference excerpt, illustrations, worked examples, real-world applications and a short study plan, so you can understand BATM rather than just read about it. In short: BATM Advanced Communications Ltd. (Baras Advanced Technologies Marom) is a technology company principally engaged in development, production and marketing of data and telecommunication products in the field of local and wide area networks, as well as the development, production and distribution of laboratory diagnostic equipment in the medical sector.

Key takeaways

BATM belongs to computer science; place it in that map before memorising details.
Learn the definition first, then one example that makes the definition concrete.
Connect BATM to a quantity you can measure, compute or draw — that is where exam questions come from.
Reproduce the core statement of BATM from memory before moving on to harder problems.

Reference excerpt

BATM Advanced Communications Ltd. (Baras Advanced Technologies Marom) is a technology company principally engaged in development, production and marketing of data and telecommunication products in the field of local and wide area networks, as well as the development, production and distribution of laboratory diagnostic equipment in the medical sector. The company is listed on the London Stock Exchange and is a constituent of the FTSE techMARK 100 Index.

History BATM Advanced Communications was founded in 1992 by Dr. Zvi Marom and Greshon Baras as a bootstrap that grew into a multinational technology corporation; Initially focusing on developing high-performance communications equipment, mainly fibre optic networking, multiservice transport, access solutions, and integrated voice, video and data service. Between August 1999 and 2002 Benjamin Netanyahu served as a senior consultant for the company (after he left politics following his defeat in the 1999 Israeli general election).

Acquisitions In April 2000, BATM acquired Telco Systems (founded in 1972) for $260.8 million in cash and 960,000 shares of BATM stock. In January 2008, BATM acquired Resolute Networks, itself established in 2004 as a merger of Redux Communications (founded in 1999) and Lycium Networks (founded in 2001). Resolute Networks is a provider of sub-system solutions for Circuit Emulation Services (CES) and Synchronous optical networking solutions. During 2008, BATM made a number of investments in medical devices and supporting distribution networks, acquiring a clinical chemistry diagnostic company based in Italy. In November 2008, the Company completed the acquisition of Vigilant Technology that provided video security systems such as digital recording systems, video content analysis and control centers used in airports, governmental sites, financial institutions, correctional facilities, casinos, and city centers. In 2014, Vigilant was dissolved.

Telco Systems

Telco Systems is a manufacturer of telecommunications equipment, founded in 1972, headquartered in Mansfield, Massachusetts, and acquired by BATM in 2000. Telco Systems solutions focuses around four primary vertical markets—carrier cloud networking and cloud services, business Ethernet services, mobile backhaul and AdvancedTCA (ATCA) switching blades.

History In April 2000, BATM Advanced Communications acquired Telco Systems for $260.8 million in cash and 960,000 shares of BATM stock. As a wholly owned subsidiary of BATM Advanced Communications, the company now has over 400 engineers and scientists through BATM's integrated research and development program between all its subsidiary companies. Since its founding in 1992, BATM has been involved in the design and manufacture of equipment for the telecommunications industry. Headquartered in Mansfield, MA, and Yokneam, Israel, Telco Systems has offices throughout the world including the United States, Germany, France, Singapore, and Australia.

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with BATM

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what BATM claims or describes in one sentence, then invent the smallest concrete situation in which that sentence is true. In computer science, the smallest case is usually a single object, a single equation or a single measurement. Check that every symbol or term in your sentence has a meaning in that case.

Example 2 — changing one variable

Take the situation from Example 1 and change exactly one quantity: double it, halve it, or set it to zero. Predict what should happen to BATM before you calculate. Comparing your prediction with the result is the fastest way to find out whether you understand the idea or only the words.

Example 3 — an exam-style question

Typical questions about BATM ask you to (a) state it precisely, (b) apply it to given data, and (c) explain a limitation. Practise writing all three answers in under five minutes; the third part is what separates a full-mark answer from an average one.

Applications of BATM

In research: BATM appears in computer science research whenever the underlying quantities have to be modelled precisely. Papers usually cite it as a starting assumption and then explore where it breaks down.
In technology and industry: Engineering practice reuses BATM in design rules, simulations and safety margins. Knowing the idea lets you read a specification sheet and understand why the numbers look the way they do.
In the classroom: BATM is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics Companies listed on the London Stock Exchange, Computer hardware companies, Electronics companies of Israel, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for BATM outside the textbook — in sport, cooking, traffic, electronics or the sky above you. An example you found yourself is remembered far longer than one you were given.

Frequently asked questions

What is BATM in simple terms?

Why does BATM matter?

Because it connects several computer science ideas at once: it gives you a definition you can apply, a quantity you can calculate, and a way to check whether a result is plausible.
