GATIX unveils the GTX-102 Compact ASN Gateway Server
The ultimate hardware and software bundle
Alexandria VA, Amsterdam - February 16, 2010 - GATIX, a creator of
innovative high-powered gateway solutions for mobile WiMAX and LTE
core networks today unveiled the GTX-102 Compact ASN Gateway Server,
an entry-level subscriber mobility access gateway with integrated
radius server and subscriber station management system for IEEE 802.16e
mobile WiMAX radio access networks.
The GTX-102 Compact ASN Gateway Server is ideally suited
for technology trials instigated by mobile operators, service providers
operating in rural and low-density markets with scalability potentials
and greenfield operators. In markets where competition in the broadband
market is scarce and coverage is limited, greenfield operators have the
opportunity to become major players in personal, fixed and mobile services.
Established service providers can deploy mobile WiMAX networks following
an opportunistic strategy that focuses on areas where they control
spectrum and where demand is high. Mobile WiMAX can be used for a number
of applications, including "last mile" broadband connections, fixed and
mobile cellular service, smart grids and cellular backhaul, and
high-speed enterprise connectivity for business. The GTX-102 Compact
ASN Gateway Server is designed as a gateway for an end-to-end IP
architecture.
As the wireless services of mobile WiMAX evolves, more and more customers
are discovering the benefits of wireless broadband connectivity and as
more customers use wireless data services, service providers need to
increase the network capacity to meet the increased demand.
To provide for this increased demand - the ability to deliver a large
amount of bandwidth to a large amount of people, new all IP-based
networks are needed. With leading mobile operators dimensioning their
current networks for 30 kbps per provisioned user, and WiMAX promising
up to four-time improvement in spectral efficiency, gateway throughput
in excess of 40 Gbps will be required in the coming years.
GATIX next-generation gateway platforms for the mobile WiMAX and
LTE markets are designed to scale from 3000 users (entry-level model)
to millions of users (high-end models).
"GATIX is designing a new breed of high-performance gateways ranging
from entry-level ASN Gateways to high-end Serving Gateways to cope
with high throughput demand," said Frank Koopman, Chairman and CEO
of GATIX. "The GTX-102 Compact ASN Gateway allows
operators to invest in a solution that supports their network design
today while maintaining the flexibility to scale the essential
component of their network for tomorrow’s growth."
The GTX-102 Compact ASN Gateway Server is available today and has
a price tag of below $ 10K.
