Tatara Systems and Acme Packet Team for Femtocell Network Integration

Apr 06, 2009 (Close-Up Media via COMTEX) -- Tatara Systems, a provider of SIP-based femtocell convergence, announced that it has partnered with Acme Packet, a supplier of session border control solutions, ensuring interoperability between Tatara's Convergence Server and Acme Packet's multiservice security gateway and session border controller (SBC) to deliver SIP-based femtocell solutions for mobile operators.



Femtocells have the potential to extend the reach of a mobile operator's network into homes, and enterprises, positively impacting the customer experience for millions of subscribers by enhancing coverage, and providing capacity for bandwidth hungry applications.

The Tatara Convergence Server (TCS) solution enables the interconnection of femtocells and other advanced technology IP-based radio network elements with the legacy macro network, providing the full mobile voice, messaging and data experience in an IP environment supporting both VoIP and IMS networks. The TCS capabilities include authentication of the mobile subscribers, handoff between femtocells and the macro network, emergency and supplementary services, as well as delivering new IP-based applications to existing mobile handsets without modifying or disrupting the macro network. The TCS is available in a CDMA or GSM/UMTS variant.



"As our partner ecosystem continues to grow, it helps to solidify our leadership in the femtocell market," said Marc Cremer, executive vice president of operations for Tatara Systems. "With key industry players embracing our SIP-based femtocell convergence solution, it serves to increase the momentum towards the delivery of new IP-based applications and the seamless migration to next-generation VoIP and IMS architectures." "SIP is the signaling protocol for next generation communications and 3GPP architectures," said Seamus Hourihan, Acme Packet's vice president of marketing and product management. "It is critical to work with leading vendors, such as Tatara Systems, to deliver proven interoperable solutions in order to successfully expedite the transition to SIP for femtocells and all voice services."
