Tatara Partners with Airvana to Demo SIP-Based CDMA Femtocell at CTIA Wireless 2009
Aug 02, 2009 (Close-Up Media via COMTEX) --
Tatara Systems, a provider of SIP-based femtocell convergence, announced that it is demonstrating its SIP-based femtocell convergence solution with Airvana in Tatara's booth during CTIA Wireless 2009 at the Las Vegas Convention Center.
The demonstration utilizes the Tatara Convergence Server (TCS), an SIP-based application server to focus on an all-IP approach to femtocell integration and the Airvana HubBub CDMA femtocell.
Femtocells have the potential to extend the reach of a mobile operator's network into homes, and enterprises, positively impacting the customer experience for millions of subscribers by enhancing coverage, and providing capacity for bandwidth hungry applications. IP-based femtocell deployment is the only method that offloads the legacy mobile core infrastructure.
The Tatara Convergence Server (TCS) solution, the company noted, enables the interconnection of femtocells and other technology IP-based radio network elements with the legacy macro network, providing the full mobile voice, messaging and data experience in an IP environment supporting both VoIP and IMS networks. The TCS capabilities include authentication of the mobile subscribers, handoff between femtocells and the macro network, emergency and supplementary services, as well as delivering new IP-based applications to existing mobile handsets without modifying or disrupting the macro network. The TCS is available in a CDMA or GSM/UMTS variant.
"Our HubBub CDMA is the only femtocell in the market to support both 1xRTT voice and EV-DO mobile broadband data" said Sanjeev Verma, VP of femtocell business and co-founder of Airvana. "Combined in the network with the Tatara Convergence Server, we are delivering the full range of mobile services with vastly improved performance for users indoors."
"As the recognized leader in SIP-based femtocell convergence, we are pleased to once again demonstrate our innovation and strong partnerships within the femtocell industry," stated Marc Cremer, executive VP of operations for Tatara Systems. "We are thrilled to be collaborating with Airvana on this SIP-based solution that provides ease of deployment for operators and the ability to drive more services. As the femtocell market continues to evolve, so has the overall awareness of the substantial benefits and R.O.I. that a SIP-based femtocell convergence solution provides. Current pressures from the challenging economic environment coupled with growing capacity demands for bandwidth intensive applications, have compelled operators to seek alternatives to incurring either additional strain on or costly investments in their legacy mobile infrastructure."
