Mobility Networks Successfully Integrates WLAN System into Mobile Operator's 2.5G/3G Networkdate: August 5, 2002 Mobility Network Systems and Rogers AT&T Wireless have successfully demonstrated Mobility Networks' WiFiRAN technology integration into Rogers AT&T Wireless' 2.5G/3G Network. The significant performance/cost advantages of Mobility Networks' WiFiRAN technology ensures rapid time to market for mobile operators by allowing them to deploy their own WiFi networks or leverage third-party networks. Mobility Networks' innovative technology allows mobile operators to offer wireless LAN services without making any changes to their existing GPRS network. Mobile operators are able to leverage current investments in their infrastructures to offer authentication, charging/billing and security to the public wireless LAN network. In product trials held in Toronto, Mobility Networks demonstrated the ease of implementation of WiFiRAN technology with Rogers AT&T Wireless' existing GPRS network by integrating the two systems within 24 hours. "Mobility Networks' products enable us to leverage our recent investments in GPRS systems to offer multi-access solutions, which is in this case, roaming between GPRS and WLAN," said Bob Berner, executive vice-president and chief technical officer at Rogers AT&T Wireless. Several mobile operators have recently announced plans to incorporate wireless LAN solutions into their offerings. However, solutions that are currently available offer the wireless LAN as a stand-alone system, making it difficult for mobile operators to combine it with their existing services or requiring investment and roll-out in additional networks and systems.
