Alexandria VA, Amsterdam - March 3, 2010 - Gatix, a creator of innovative high-powered gateway solutions for mobile WiMAX and LTE core networks today announced that it has been selected by ALSATIS, to supply the GTX-102 Compact ASN Gateway solution for an initial deployment in France around the city of Angoulême. ALSATIS plans to offer innovative fixed and nomadic services in selected suburban areas during 2010, such as high-speed internet and VoIP to businesses.
The recently launched GTX-102 Compact ASN Gateway Server provides local mobility anchor capability so that users can move between mobile WiMAX base stations and also acts as a RADIUS client to the operator’s AAA servers. The state-of-the-art gateway server is specially designed to support connection management and mobility across cell sites and inter-service provider network boundaries through processing of subscriber control and bearer data traffic.
“We believe the maturity of WIMAX enables ALSATIS to answer the growing demand for wireless broadband services, especially from SME that will not be connected to fiber soon and are not served by DSL services for technical reasons,” said Xavier Prisker, CEO of ALSATIS. “Gatix compact and affordable solution perfectly fits our need in terms of dimensioning and scalability, which made Gatix an obvious choice as a supplier for our services in Angoulême.”
“We're proud that ALSATIS has chosen the Gatix GTX-102 Compact ASN Gateway Server for its new deployments in France," said Frank Koopman, Chairman and CEO of Gatix.
