Airspan andFujitsu partners to Deliver Carrier Class WiMAX Solution
Is WiMAX the “best” solution for the last mile dilemma facing U.S. service providers seeking to deliver high quality VoIP and IPTV to their customers? The answer to that question, increasingly, is “yes,” but to say WiMAX is the only logical solution — for the now and in the future — would be stretching things a bit. It appears that widespread adoption of the WiMAX standard 802.16e is more than a year off, but in
the meantime, U.S. service providers are gravitating to the current, 802.16-2004 standard in droves as they frantically upgrade their networks for the delivery of next generation video and voice services to their customers.
Adoption of the technology has reportedly been more pronounced in recent months particularly among operators working in either dense urban or extremely rural regions (in an urban setting, a single WiMAX node can be used to deliver next generation services to dozens, if not hundreds of customers simultaneously - while in rural setting, it can be used to provide access to homes which are too costly to reach via a fixed line). Networking solutions provider Fujitsu is playing a big role in driving WiMAX adoption rates. The company announced it is partnering with WiMAX equipment maker Airspan Networks to deliver a new, end-to-end, turnkey WiMAX solution for U.S. service providers. Fujitsu will become a reseller for the full line of
Airpan’s AS.MAX products, and will provide support for the new carrier-class solution through its Network Life Cycle Services.
Airspan’s (news - alert) AS.MAX products support a range of end-user devices that integrate both WiMAX and WiFi technologies. Fujitsu (news - alert) plans to enrich these products with advanced network features that will make it possible for carriers to deliver quality VoIP services, including integrated SIP gateway messaging to enable call control and capacity reservation for voice traffic. With the combined solution, voice capacity is not reserved until requested, and can be dynamically adjusted while maintaining QoS, thus enabling the optimal use of radio link capacity while offering an ideal consumer experience. http://www.airspan.com ,http://www.fujitsu.com
