Tatung InfoComm to deploy Starent Networks' mobile WiMAX solutions in Taiwan
Starent Networks, a leading provider of infrastructure solutions that enable mobile operators to deliver multimedia services, has announced that Taiwan-based Tatung InfoComm has selected Starent Networks' solutions to enable high-bandwidth, multimedia services through its mobile WiMAX network.
Tatung InfoComm, a WiMAX licensee for the southern region of Taiwan, is deploying Starent Networks' ST40 and ST16 multimedia core platforms for Home Agent functionality with access service network (ASN) gateway capability in both its commercial and test WiMAX networks. The system will support multiple radio vendor base stations through an open WiMAX interface architecture.
The company is also using the Starent platforms for lawful intercept as well as its "In-line" Services capability to deploy enhanced charging services and application protocol detection for subscriber service flow based QoS control with content awareness.
Starent Networks' ASN gateway and Home Agent will enable key services for Tatung InfoComm, such as enterprise applications, mobile VPN banking and special access services for government, police and security organization. Earlier this year, Starent was selected by Taiwan's First International Telecom (Fitel) to provide similar solutions for its network, covering northern Taiwan.
Tatung InfoComm plans to launch service in certain suburban and rural locations, such as the Penghu Island, by the first quarter of 2009 to deliver mobile WiMAX broadband service to improve the local information technology community and promote the local tourism and agriculture industry. The company also plans to launch live services in major cities, such as Kaohsiung, beginning in the third quarter of 2009.
