New wireless services gateway platform supports 4G and WiMAX
Harris Stratex Networks, Inc. and Juniper Networks partner to deliver new IP core technology
by TelecomEngine Newsdesk
Harris Stratex Networks, Inc., a wireless solutions provider, announced this week that it has developed a wireless services gateway (WSG) platform, which extends its customers’ mobile systems to 4G and beyond. The WSG was developed using the Juniper Networks’ Partner Solution Development Platform (PSDP), which the company accessed by joining Juniper’s Open IP Solution Development Program (OSDP).
The new WSG is capable of fully supporting 4G and WiMAX access, and connectivity service networks, and its roadmap includes support for LTE evolved packet core and fixed-mobile convergence functionality. It provides a secure connection to the core network, allowing subscribers to roam between various 4G IP access networks and harnesses IP processing capabilities from Juniper. These features aim to help reduce service costs and open up additional revenue streams for carriers, while delivering an increasingly compelling user experience to mobile broadband consumers.
Harris Stratex is using the Juniper PSDP to integrate its wireless service gateway functionality directly on top of JUNOS® Software, providing a field-proven routing technology for its new IP core that provides reliable, high-speed multimedia services to mobile consumers.
“Juniper is committed to exploring new and innovative technology ideas and partnerships that will enable network subscribers to benefit from our high-performance networking solutions,” said Craig Bardenheuer, vice president of Open IP and Partnerships, Juniper Networks. “With the power of JUNOS, a single-source network operating system, and the Juniper PSDP, the joint solution will enable mobile customers to monetize their 4G networks through revenue generating services and lower transport costs.”
Juniper’s PSDP provides resources, including a software Development Kit (SDK) for carrier- grade routing platforms, with intelligent and secure interfaces to JUNOS routing and service functions, and technical and business support. With the PSDP, partners like Harris Stratex can develop and deploy the specific capabilities that are important to the success of their business models.
