Taqua has partnered with Star Solutions to deploy the Star Solutions family of wireless products into its Taqua MobileWorks wireless and wireline convergence solution designed for rural North American service providers.
Taqua says MobileWorks is the first wireline and wireless solution targeted at rural service providers that includes:
- the next-generation wireline and wireless switching equipment with enhanced applications;
- and IP-based radio access network (RAN), mobile switching center (MSC), home location registrar (HLR), and packet data services nodes (PDSN).
“In the past, rural carriers were forced to shoe-horn expensive large vendor solutions designed for the largest carriers in the world into their network,” explained Scott Weidenfeller, chief marketing officer at Taqua LLC. “Taqua MobileWorks is designed to deliver the same large carrier features and capabilities, but with a simplified and much more cost effective all IP architecture.”
