Cambridge Broadband and Gemtek Systems collaborate on WiFi
Cambridge Broadband and Gemtek Systems are working together to enable broadband wireless operators to add carrier-grade WiFi to their service portfolio. The two companies have signed a commercial and technical collaborative agreement to integrate Gemtek Systems' WiFi technology with Cambridge Broadband's industry-leading VectaStar fixed wireless access technology.
Cambridge Broadband will integrate Gemtek Systems' WiFi technology into VectaStar's subscriber unit, creating a hot-spot-in-a-box with integrated backhaul to allow residential and mobile users to be served cost-effectively. The combination of Gemtek Systems' and Cambridge Broadband's sophisticated per-user QoS mechanisms facilitates not only a range of tariffing options for data services but also high quality voice-over-WiFi.
Cambridge Broadband provides a flexible, extendable platform capable of delivering multiple services allowing telecom operators to offer end users IP, VoIP, Ethernet, and E1 /T1. This multi-service capability is further expanded by the addition of Gemtek Systems' carrier-grade WiFi access.
The commercial framework of the agreement outlines how Gemtek Systems and Cambridge Broadband will adopt a teaming approach, with sales handled by both companies to address customers' specific needs worldwide.
'We are very pleased to be working with Cambridge Broadband,' said Vincent Chen, Senior Customer Manager, Business Development, Gemtek Systems. 'Being able to offer carrier-grade WiFi public access, in conjunction with VectaStar's wide service delivery platform, allows us to offer a perfect solution for our customers'.
Commenting on the signing, Colin Abrey, VP, Business Development at Cambridge Broadband said, 'As the telecommunication market is fiercely competitive today, service differentiation is paramount in attracting new subscribers. With VectaStar's ability to offer ATM or IP, operators can deploy Gemtek Systems' integrated WiFi technology as part of a larger service portfolio'.
Delivery of the new WiFi enabled CPEs will commence in the first quarter of 2005 and will be available for existing VectaStar customers or new entrants wishing to offer WiFi services.
