AirWalk Gets 2009 3G CDMA Industry Achievement AwardNov 17, 2009 (Close-Up Media via COMTEX) -- AirWalk Communications has been awarded the 2009 3G CDMA Industry Achievement Award by the CDMA Development Group (CDG). AirWalk said its EdgePoint PRO enterprise femtocell was recognized with an award for Innovation in Wireless Enterprise Solutions Development. Specifically, the CDG award is for implementation of a wireless enterprise application via a 3G CDMA network that streamlines operations, increases worker productivity, and achieves a return on investment. The EdgePoint PRO is a compact enterprise femtocell that brings optimal cellular service to enterprises and other in-building facilities. It assures that mobile voice and data users have continuous coverage and mobility in a variety of enterprise settings. "The EdgePoint PRO is a game-changing product for CDMA technology because it opens up new markets and promotes cellular technology as a new option for in-building wireless service," said Serge Pequeux, president and CEO of AirWalk. "Operators and enterprises alike are recognizing the benefits of full user mobility, cost savings, and service enhancements that are provided by the EdgePoint PRO." Acting as a cellular access point that plugs directly into an existing broadband connection to extend 3G wireless services for voice and data, the EdgePoint PRO leverages the enterprise's broadband link for backhaul. This reduces operators' capital expenditures and maximizes macro network efficiencies. EdgePoint PRO has an unrivaled clustering feature that assures soft handoffs of calls between multiple units and the macro network. The CDG accepted nominations for the award from the general public, and a committee comprised of the CDG Executive Board, representatives from industry associations, and members of the trade media selected the final award recipients. AirWalk Communications is a developer of IP CDMA Radio Access Network (IP-RAN) products that deliver 3G voice and data platforms and migrating to 4G LTE products.
