NEW ORLEANS, La. -- Accuris Networks, an innovator in mobile technology interworking, and Acme Packet (APKT - News), the leader in session delivery network solutions, have joined forces to launch the first Wi-Fi Mobile Interworking solution, which gives mobile operators a way to extend network coverage and network capacity to Wi-Fi, provide carrier-grade security and offer value-added services even when users offload to Wi-Fi networks. Mobile operators will now be able to use data service policies across 3G, 4G and Wi-Fi seamlessly and end users will benefit from a secure and trouble-free connection to Wi-Fi wherever they go. The solution is currently being trialled with tier one carriers in North and South America. Accuris Networks will show the solution at CTIA at the Enterprise Ireland Pavilion, Hall F, Booth #5343 from May 8th-10th, 2012.
The integrated Wi-Fi Mobile Interworking solution is the first of its kind that ensures mobile operator services get fully extended to both LTE and Wi-Fi. Operators will now be able to use existing packet data services including integration with existing charging, policy and provisioning infrastructure when their users are on Wi-Fi. The standards-based solution guarantees service access and enables a smooth migration as operators move to provide access over Wi-Fi and LTE networks. Working together, Acme Packet's Net-Net Security Gateway (SG) ensures secure data and voice services, while Accuris Network's AccuROAM platform authenticates end users as they travel between 3G, 4G and Wi-Fi networks.
