Netrake and Kineto Wireless announced that they completed all interoperability testing procedures to support currently installed UMA systems. According to the companies, Netrake's nCite Security Gateway and Kineto's IP-based UMA Network Controller (IP-UNC) are currently deployed in commercial trials for UMA-based mobile/WiFi convergence.
"Kineto is partnering with best-of-breed companies to secure UMA networks to meet the explosive demand for mobile/WiFi convergence," said Tom Elam, vice president of network products for Kineto Wireless in a statement. Netrake's nCite Security Gateway provides a highly secure framework and industry-leading performance, resulting in more secure and reliable UMA services."
Netrake's nCite Security Gateway bundles voice and multimedia in encrypted IP tunnels for wireless usage over the public Internet. The system uses IPSec encryption and establishes multiple media and signaling security associations without adding network latency.
The company's "Secure Edge Architecture" offers Denial of Service (DoS) attack prevention, firewalls, intrusion detection services, IMSI filtering, blacklisting, impersonation detection, spoof prevention, dynamic virtual routing, and Network Address Translation (NAT).
"Kineto is a committed partner with extensive experience in delivering UMA solutions," said Mark Neider, vice president marketing and product management, Netrake. "Together with our nCite Security Gateways, GSM service providers worldwide are able to deliver secure, high-quality voice, video and multimedia services over UMA networks."
Kineto's mobile/WiFi convergence system offers the Kineto IP-UNC, a carrier-class network component that integrates with a service provider's existing voice and packet switching systems. The technology uses standard interfaces to extend higher-performance mobile services over IP access networks and WLANs. The company's IP-UNC manages and secures subscriber's access to mobile, voice, data, and IMS services from WLAN locations and facilitates automatic, roaming and handover between licensed radio access networks and WLANs.
Kineto Wireless has been making strides with companies in the IP-based technology market. Just this Tuesday the company made news as it announced a deal with AudioCodes (News - Alert) of Israel. The companies also completed interoperability testing between AudioCodes' Mediant media gateways and Kineto's IP-based UMA Network Controller (IP-UNC). Kineto and AudioCodes announced the deployment of these products as part of ongoing fixed-mobile convergence (FMC) trials with several European operators.
"As the market demand for mobile/WiFi convergence solutions grows, Kineto is dedicated to partnering with organizations like AudioCodes to deliver best- of-breed UMA solutions that provide consistent voice quality with PSTN-like reliability," said Tom Elam, vice president of product management for Kineto Wireless in a statement. "With our extensive experience in worldwide FMC trials, we have a thorough understanding of what operators need for wide-scale deployments. We work with our partners to deliver elegant technology solutions that will continue to drive the worldwide adoption of UMA in 2006."
