WiChorus Completes WiMAX Interoperability Testing of Intelligent Home Agent with Bridgewater Systems AAA Service Controller
(Business News & Technology News, 12 Mar 2008)
WiChorus has successfully completed interoperability testing (IOT) of its Intelligent Home Agent (HA) solution with the Bridgewater Systems AAA (Authentication, Authorization, and Accounting) Service Controller. The WiChorus Home Agent solution is fully compliant with the WiMAX Forum Network Working Group (NWG) specification.
This most recent interoperability testing between the Bridgewater AAA Service Controller and the WiChorus Intelligent Home Agent follows similar interoperability testing completed in 2007 with the WiChorus Intelligent ASN Gateway solution based on the WiMAX Forum NWG specification.
WiChorus continues to lead the charge in driving interoperability efforts to speed the deployment of Mobile WiMAX networks. In conjunction with its One Open WiMAX initiative, WiChorus has developed the industry's most extensive WiMAX Forum NWG interoperability testing capabilities available today. The company collaborates with a wide variety of vendors throughout the mobile ecosystem with the goal of transforming a traditionally closed wireless core into an open, horizontal model that spurs innovation, competition, and choice for carriers.
WiChorus is driving open standards through its participation in the WiMAX Forum and its industry-leading One Open WiMAX initiative. The goal of this initiative is to promote fully open WiMAX standards and demonstrate multi-vendor interoperability across the entire mobile ecosystem. WiChorus has developed an extensive family of test and simulation tools, an advanced test-lab facility, and software components to assist vendors in delivering fully interoperable, open WiMAX solutions.
Following the IOT program, WiChorus and Bridgewater will continue to work closely to deliver complementary solutions for their global customer bases.
