CDMA & GSM All-IP Networks
“Delivering the benefits of an All-IP wireless network”
The Star Solutions All-IP wireless network for CDMA and GSM provides operators with end-to-end IP-based infrastructure for enabling voice and data services to wireless subscribers. Based on 3GPP and 3GPP2 standards specifications, Star Solutions' product portfolio is the ideal solution for both existing and new network operators deploying CDMA and GSM wireless technology. Key attributes of the Star Solutions All-IP wireless network include:
Support for true softswitch based distributed architecture - In the Star Solutions All-IP wireless platform, network elements are distributed based on operational and traffic considerations. A distributed network of MSC servers, media gateways, IP-RAN basestations, Packet Data Service Nodes and the Operation and Maintenance Center can be deployed over an IP network distributed and connect to traditional TDM based PSTN and PLMN where necessary. The distributed architecture enables high bandwidth traffic applications (such as real-time voice) to be managed efficiently and routed optimally. Such planning and management of network traffic is paramount to lowering total cost of ownership.
Scalable cost effective growth – In addition to leveraging the distributed network architecture, individual network elements can be deployed in a scalable fashion addressing low, medium and high capacity network needs. Network resources can be sized to support even the smallest and most remote service locations to the higher capacity and density service areas. Modular elements are scaled independently supporting efficient growth as well as both small and large network configurations.
Support for CDMA2000 IP-RAN and GSM/GPRS IP-RAN – The Star Solutions All-IP wireless platform supports its line of IP based Radio Access Network elements, the iCell™ basestation product line for CDMA2000 1X and EVDO. Support for IP based radio access network elements enables wireless operators to leverage the full benefits of cost-effective scalability, distributed architecture and eliminates the need for costly TDM based connections between basestation and core network locations.
Key Solutions & Applications
The above three key attributes enable wireless network operators to increase their business value by addressing three key market segments:
- Rural Coverage – Leverage the distributed architecture and product scalability to expand into rural markets and other hard to reach locations (particularly locations using satellite based connectivity)
- In-building/Enterprise Wireless – Leverage small modular basestations and distributed architecture to address in-building coverage and capacity challenges
- Rapid Response System – Leverage a fully integrated, ruggedized and compact solution form factor for deploying emergency wireless systems
