The easiest, most cost-effective way to deliver GPRS/EDGE services. AirNet’s software
upgrade GPRS/EDGE solution ensures that your
first step toward 3G wireless broadband
services is the right one. It allows service
providers of all sizes to make the most of
revenue opportunities today while protecting
hardware investments tomorrow.
Deliver a full range of enhanced services today: The additional speed
offered by AirNet -- up to 470 kbps -- allows operators to maximize
system capacity and cost-effectively provide a full range of new,
enhanced services such as mobile commerce, wireless multimedia,
entertainment, enhanced emergency communications, wireless Internet
messaging and many others. It also ensures that delivery systems are
compatible with all GPRS or EDGE handsets and terminals while providing
the full data speed required by emerging high-speed devices
and applications.
Deliver GPRS/EDGE as easily as GSM Voice: With AirNet’s solution, service
providers won’t have to choose between profitable GSM services or
GPRS/EDGE services. AirNet can support both services
simultaneously with the same radio carrier. And, because our GPRS/EDGE
solution is based on AirNet’s field-proven broadband, software-defined
platform, service providers can easily migrate to GPRS/EDGE using their
current AdaptaCell®
base stations and AirSite® Backhaul Free
base stations by simply upgrading software.
Future-proof evolution to 3G: Introducing GPRS/EDGE to an existing GSM
network is simple. By adding the PCU (Packet Control Unit) hardware
to the AirNet BSC, or by adding AirNet's iBSS™ Embedded PCU software to the base station for a direct Gb interface, the service provider is ready to connect the BSS to the
packet backbone network (SGSN/GGSN) and the rest is only a software
upgrade. Service providers do not have to make any changes to the
network structure, or invest in new licenses. The GPRS/EDGE network deployment is the key for future evolution of a GSM network to 3G networks.
