Hyundai Electronics and TELOS Technology Join Forces to Market World's Smallest Wireless Enterprise Solution
Hyundai Electronics' Telecommunications Division and TELOS Technology, Inc. (TELOS) announce a strategic partnership to market a cost–effective, small form factor, wireless enterprise solution. This new venture is a continuation of the two companies' long-standing business association.
The new system will be demonstrated for the first time at the PCS 2000 Show in Chicago September 27 – 29. The wireless enterprise solution, for in-building and campus deployments enhances coverage and capacity for the mobile subscriber while offering roaming capabilities onto the traditional cellular network. The solution is comprised of Hyundai Electronics' CDMA Pico base station transceiver subsystem (BTS) and compact base station controller (BSC), plus TELOS Technology's scaleable Mobile Switch Center/Home/Visitor Location Registers (MSC/HLR/VLR), all mounted in a single standard 19-inch rack.
John Klinestiver, Senior Vice President and General Manager, Telecommunications Division for Hyundai Electronics, says, "We believe this to be the world's smallest wireless enterprise solution, and by focusing on the highly efficient CDMA air protocol, a unique solution for the marketplace. It provides business and commerce with enhanced wireless communications capabilities throughout their operations."
"We believe the lack of a cost-effective, scaleable solution, capable of supporting seamless roaming between the enterprise and the macro networks has been a real barrier for the wireless enterprise market," says Mike Harris, Vice President of Business Development, TELOS Technology, Inc. "This is no longer an issue as a result of the collaborative efforts between TELOS and Hyundai. The market now has a cost-effective, full-featured, wireless enterprise solution, scaleable from the very small enterprise all the way up to the large campus setting."
As part of this strategic partnership, Hyundai Electronics and TELOS Technology will also jointly market a voice over IP (VoIP) version of the Wireless Enterprise solution. The VoIP system is tailored for IP based LAN/WAN technologies, combining TELOS Technology's Sonata Soft Exchange, a scaleable Softswitch for Wireless Mobility, and Intelligent Networking applications, with Hyundai Electronics' IP-capable BTS.
Wireless Enterprise Solution
Hyundai Electronics's CDMA Pico BTS is a versatile and affordable approach for easily improving or expanding wireless service coverage in buildings, dense urban areas, variable or high traffic areas, and any location where wireless service is inordinately expensive. Key advantages include 32 channels in a 29 x 22 x 12-inch self-contained, all-purpose enclosure, which virtually eliminates cell site expense.
Also, the Pico BTS has capability for connecting several Pico BTSs for multi-sector or multi-carrier coverage with shared backhaul. It also provides silent operation without noisy fans, which is ideal for indoor deployment.
The CDMA compact BSC provides full IS-634 and CDG-IOS interoperability, plus options for expanding current networks. Its advantages include a compact 192-channel capacity chassis and affordable expansion to 384 channels supporting up to 16 base stations and over 11,000 subscribers.
TELOS Technology's scaleable, modular MSC is ideal for offering wireless enterprise capability to business operations of any size. The distributed architecture coupled with the extremely flexible call processing software adapts easily to sophisticated call scenarios and complex telephone networks. The integrated HLR and VLR capabilities ensure mobility support and feature transparency while roaming between the wireless enterprise and the cellular operator's networks.
The TELOS Technology wireless enterprise products support all industry standards for interoperability and subscriber roaming. The TELOS Technology MSC also provides an evolutionary path to 3G operation.
