Redline and Patapsco collaborate on WiMAX interoperability
- Redline and Patapsco work together to extend the reach of TDM and frame
relay services over Redline's WIMAX networks -
TORONTO, April 23 /CNW/ - Redline Communications Group Inc. , a leading provider of WiMAX broadband wireless products, and Patapsco Communications, a telecoms engineering company dedicated to designing and manufacturing IP systems for data applications, today announced the companies have completed interoperability testing between Redline's RedMAX(TM) WiMAX products and Patapsco's IP solutions as part of the Redline Ecosystem Verification(TM) (REV) program.
The Patapsco solution set allows operators to map traditional TDM-based services over a managed IP network. The interoperability testing between the Patapsco and Redline solutions verifies that service providers can extend the reach of traditional service offerings via Redline's WiMAX networks to areas which are underserved by wireline infrastructure.
"WiMAX has become the technology of choice for operators that want to expand or enhance their networks to deliver advanced communications services, and Redline has established itself as a leader in delivering reliable, interoperable WiMAX solutions," said Paul Strawbridge, VP of Worldwide Sales and Marketing, Patapsco Communications. "With our interoperability testing with Redline products now complete, operators have even more choice and flexibility because networks can include a variety of synchronous services such as traditional leased lines. These services deliver transparent end-to-end circuits, and our testing has shown that the synchronization and clocking perform exceptionally well with the Redline solutions."
"Our partnership with Patapsco is another example of how Redline is working with companies across the WiMAX ecosystem to ensure carriers can deliver the most advanced services and support the greatest number of devices on their RedMAX network," said Kevin Suitor, Vice President, Marketing and Business Development, Redline Communications Inc. "Our REV program encompasses the devices, applications and core network providers that are enabling the solutions that carriers need to operate a reliable and profitable communications network."
Patapsco joins several WiMAX equipment, chipset and peripherals vendors that are now taking part in Redline's REV program. The REV program was designed to augment the testing requirements for WiMAX Forum Certification(TM), verifying the level of connectivity and performance that carriers can achieve between Redline's RedMAX and RedMAX 4C mobile WiMAX products and other WiMAX devices in their network, and accelerating the deployment of operators' interoperable networks.
The program also includes Redline's RedCONNEX and RedACCESS family products, which are used by carriers around the world to support high-bandwidth voice, video and data services.
