724 Solutions Launches Mobile Internet Gateway For Mobile Operators

724 Solutions announced availability of its Mobile Internet Gateway which is tuned to empower cost effective access to 2.5G and 3G networks. 724 Solutions will deliver this leading-edge mobile operator solution through distribution and integration alliances with global leaders.

As mobile operators evolve from circuit-based to packet-based networks, they have a critical need for an Internet Protocol (IP) gateway that demonstrates high availability, scalability, flexibility and is cost effective. 724 Solutions' Mobile Internet Gateway is designed to deliver these core values. Leveraging the technology that underpins 724 Solutions' Wireless Internet Platform (WIP), the Mobile Internet Gateway inherits WIP's proven high availability and scalability. Originally developed at Tandem Computer's High Performance Research Center, this technology has been benchmarked to scale to over 10 million users running a total of 10,000 transactions per second.

"This is an example of how our allies can incorporate 724 Solutions' technology to meet the needs of next-generation mobile operator networks," said John Sims, chief executive officer, 724 Solutions. "As mobile operators make the migration to these new networks their access gateways become vital parts of their overall service, demanding the highest levels of reliability and scalability, as well as, the flexibility to be able to quickly launch new services and devices. 724 Solutions' Mobile Internet Gateway delivers on these needs."

The Mobile Internet Gateway provides support for Wireless Application Protocol (WAP) 1.x, WAP 2.0, Short Messaging Service (SMS) and Multimedia Messaging Services (MMS). Other features include: full system management, flexible configuration, seamless integration with most networking infrastructure, content conversion, security and traffic optimization. 724 Solutions' open standards-based design makes it easy for mobile operators to support new devices, protocols and networks.
