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.
