Lucent and Top Global links up 3G and Wi-Fi systems
November 12, 2003
Top Global and Lucent Technologies announced an agreement to provide
wireless service providers in the Asia-Pacific and EMEA (Europe, Middle
East, and Africa) regions with a solution that integrates 3G mobile networks
and Wi-Fi networks. This enables operators to leverage wide-area 3G CDMA2000and
UMTS/W-CDMA mobile networks to carry the data traffic generated by Wi-Fi
hot spots. Top Global's hot spot solution, called 3G MobileBridge, serves
as a gateway that links the Wi-Fi and 3G networks, enabling business users
and consumers to use their Wi-Fi-enabled devices in truly mobile environments
such as trains, buses and other vehicles.
Under the agreement, Top Global and Lucent will collaborate to ensure
the compatibility of Top Global's 3G MobileBridge solution with Lucent's
3G CDMA2000 and UMTS/W-CDMA mobile networking equipment. The two companies
also will work together on joint-marketing and sales activities.
This week, Top Global and Lucent are conducting live demonstrations of
CDMA2000 1xEV-DO and UMTS/W-CDMA networks carrying the data traffic of
a Wi-Fi hot spot by leveraging Top Global's 3G MobileBridge solution.
Last March, Lucent highlighted the concept of how Wi-Fi hot spots can
be connected to the Internet via high-speed 3G mobile networks through
its first "Wi-Fi on the Move" demonstration, which was completed
at a major North American wireless trade show. The prototype mobile hotspot
gateway used for this initial demonstration was developed by Bell Labs
researchers and incorporated all of the necessary Wi-Fi and 3G CDMA2000
1xEV-DO networking components required for a public deployment into a
single box - an industry first.
"By working with Top Global, we are demonstrating the complementary
nature of Wi-Fi and 3G and leveraging the benefits of both technologies
to help mobile operators deliver productivity-enhancing high-speed data
services to business users and consumers," said Mike Iandolo, vice
president of CDMA product management for Lucent's Mobility Solutions Group.
"For example, this solution enables operators to deploy a Wi-Fi hot
spot on a commuter train using a wide-area CDMA2000 network to transport
the data traffic, so that passengers can use their Wi-Fi-enabled devices
while traveling."
By seamless integration of the Wi-Fi and 3G hardware, software, and network
protocol stacks, Top Global's solution supports authentication, authorization,
and the needed accounting features so that operators can simplify network
architecture and reduce overall investment. Its plug-and-play simplicity
reduces installation cost and its rich networking features simplify network
management and reduce maintenance costs. It overcomes many hurdles that
can prevent or delay an operator from offering service in a popular hot
spot.
