Taqua MobileWorks and Star Solutions Team for Mobile Solution to North America's Rural Service Providers

May 07, 2009 (Close-Up Media via COMTEX) -- Taqua, a supplier of next-generation switching systems and applications, at the Rural Cellular Association Convention in Las Vegas announced that it has partnered with Star Solutions to deploy the Star Solutions family of wireless products into its Taqua MobileWorks' wireless and wireline convergence solution designed for rural North American service providers.



Network operators today, the groups noted, are faced with the daunting tasks of upgrading their wireline network to replace legacy Class 5s and deploying advanced IP services, while also upgrading their first or second generation wireless networks at the same time. The Taqua MobileWorks solution is a wireline and wireless solution targeted at rural service providers that includes: a.) the next-generation wireline and wireless switching equipment with enhanced applications, and b.) IP-based radio access network (RAN), mobile switching center (MSC), home location registrar (HLR), and packet data services nodes (PDSN).

According to a release, rural wireline and wireless service providers can now look to one company to enable a complete next-generation network migration strategy that combines converged applications within a unified experience for the end-subscriber across wireline and wireless networks. "In the past, rural carriers were forced to shoe-horn expensive large vendor solutions designed for the largest carriers in the world into their network," explained Scott Weidenfeller, chief marketing officer at Taqua. "Taqua MobileWorks is designed to deliver the same large carrier features and capabilities, but with a simplified and much more cost effective all IP architecture." "By integrating our Sonata core network and iCell IP-RAN products into Taqua MobileWorks, we enable true convergence for service providers reaching fixed and mobile subscribers over a single common IP network for voice and data services," commented Star Solutions CEO Jack Mar.
