Globecomm Systems, a provider of satellite-based communications infrastructure services, has invested in a 3G core switch to expand its managed wireless business to offer 3G hosted mobile services to under-serviced areas worldwide.
According to Globecomm, the 3G services include voice, video and data services and further enhance its switch, roaming and managed network service businesses. Carriers will have access to broadened wireless coverage through the company’s 3G switch platform without capital or operational investment.
The company claims that the switch provides a 100% IP-based soft-switch architecture with a forward path to 4G technologies. To support the new switch, the company has installed power systems in its Network Operations Center in Hauppauge, New York.
Andy Silberstein, Vice President and General Manager of Services, said: “We are proud to provide this carrier-grade hosted mobile core switch to service our growing base of wireless customers. Our investment in 3G mobile technologies uniquely positions Globecomm to help mobile cellular carrier customers seamlessly and profitably advance to the next generation of mobile services.”
