| Tecore Announces 700 MHz Capability Across Its Products Tecore Networks announces that its portfolio of core and radio access network products is capable of operation in the 700 MHz frequency band. The software-defined core platform bridges networks from legacy TDM through next-generation IMS, thus implementing an unprecedented any-to-any connectivity model to support GSM, CDMA, GPRS/EDGE, 1xRTT, EV-DO, Wi-Fi and WiMAX technologies from a common baseline. The end result is a 700 MHz solution that interoperates with the commercially available systems in the market today. Interoperability is critical as numerous access technologies are being positioned for the upcoming U.S. auctions of 700 MHz spectrum licenses. Block C of the spectrum requires the operator to allow any device to connect to the network, and Block D will be used for a public safety network, thus heightening the need for interoperability. The FCC will commence the 700 MHz spectrum auction on January 24, 2008. Tecore's core platform builds on the company's multi-technology mobile switching center by incorporating IP Multimedia Subsystem and thus creating unparalleled support for existing and emerging communications technologies. Operators can deliver communications and media to subscribers across the technology spectrum. The key attributes of the platform are: - Patented processing of multiple protocols including GSM, GPRS/EDGE, CDMA, 1xRTT, EV-DO and SIP on a single platform; - Integration of multiple network elements and value-added features in a single chassis; - IP-based, software-driven architecture built on a carrier-grade Linux platform, eliminating limitations of proprietary hardware; - Built to be profitable for as few as 100 subscribers, and scalable to a million subscribers. write your comments about the article :: © 2007 Networking News :: home page |
