[April 03, 2008] Tatara Systems and AirWalk Collaborate on SIP-Based CDMA Femtocell Solution Tweet (Wireless News Via Thomson Dialog NewsEdge) Tatara Systems, a provider of SIP-based femtocell convergence, and AirWalk Communications, a supplier of IP Radio Access Network (IP-RAN) solutions, announced they are collaborating to deliver SIP-based femtocell and macrocell network solutions. Tatara and AirWalk are developing a solution that enables CDMA network operators to leverage VoIP or IMS infrastructure with AirWalk's EdgePoint femtocell and OneRAN macrocell solutions. The companies said that a key aspect of this solution is an IOS-SIP adapter that resides in the EdgePoint or OneRAN products and communicates directly with the Tatara CDMA 1xRTT Convergence Server (TCS/CDMA-1xRTT), which is a standards-based SIP/IMS interworking application server that ensures service parity with the macro network. "Tatara is excited to be teaming with AirWalk on this innovative approach to SIP-based CDMA network integration. Mobile operators are looking to expand radio coverage using low cost solutions that leverage commodity SIP/VoIP infrastructure for transport and control. They also desire to preserve their existing investment in the mobile core, where subscribers are provisioned, managed, and billed," said E.Y. Snowden, President and CEO of Tatara Systems. "AirWalk is leading the market with the introduction of advanced femtocells and IP-RAN macro radio access solutions, and we look forward to working with them." "The true value of this collaboration between Tatara and AirWalk is that operators can deploy both femtocell and macrocell solutions into their existing networks and retain full feature transparency while lowering overall expenditures," said Serge Pequeux, President and CEO of AirWalk. "These IP core networks allow operators to scale their networks gracefully and economically."
