Veraz Networks (News - Alert) has announced that ONEMAX, an innovative broadband wireless provider, has officially launched its WiMAX 802.16e network in the Dominican Republic this October.

ONEMAX is using Veraz’s IMS over WiMAX (News - Alert) solution in this first IMS over mobile WiMAX deployment in the Americas. Veraz’s solution includes the Veraz User Services Core (USC), ControlSwitch and I-Gate 4000 series of media gateways to deliver services in a multi-vendor environment.

ONEMAX now offers Internet, multimedia and VoIP services over mobile broadband. Thanks to the modular, programmable, and distributed architecture of Veraz’s solution, ONEMAX has the flexibility to use the latest technology to provide advanced mobile, VoIP, data and multimedia services.

Utilizing ControlSwitch, ONEMAX is able to integrate with third-party components including application servers, end user devices, session border controllers and Business and Operational Support Systems for service delivery on the WiMAX network. Veraz’s I-Gate 4000 media gateways also provide connectivity between ONEMAX and other network operators.

“We are very excited to have turned up the traffic on our groundbreaking network,” said Raoul Fontanez, CEO of ONEMAX in a statement.

Fontanez indicated that IMS and WiMAX are two of the hottest technologies in networking and live traffic is proving the benefits of this solution. He emphasized that Veraz has been an outstanding partner who has been instrumental in getting this project off the ground.

Doug Sabella, CEO of Veraz said that a combination of IMS and WiMAX can bridge the digital divide to make advanced services more accessible to consumers who otherwise would not have access to broadband.
