HUGHES SOFTWARE SYSTEMS TO OFFER HIGH RELIABILITY 3G SOLUTIONS
FOR TELECOM OEMs ON MOTOROLA PLATFORMS.
Using 3G SGSN Hughes' Software on Motorola
CPX 8221 High Availability platform helps reduce OEMs' time-to-market
by eliminating in-house development time and cost
Germantown, MD - December 5, 2001
Hughes Software Systems (HSS), specialists in convergent networks
and India's leading communications software company, today announced
it has teamed with Motorola (NYSE: MOT) to provide advanced third
generation (3G) mobile data protocol hardware/software platforms.
These solutions would deliver wireless mobile data telecom infrastructure
for OEMs building gateway GPRS service nodes (GGSN), serving GPRS
support nodes (SGSN) and home location registers (HLR).
HSS' software, combined with Motorola Computer Group's CPX 8221
High Availability platform, one of the highest density carrier-grade,
high availability CompactPCI® platforms in the industry, allows
OEMs to rapidly deploy next generation mobile data solutions without
the time or expense needed to develop complex communications software
systems in-house.
Through this hardware/software combination, coupled with HSS'
MAP protocol stack over its SS7 stack, HSS now provides a complete
development environment for home location service (HLR) node for
UMTS networks on the Motorola CPX 8221 platform.
"We are pleased to deepen our relationship with Motorola
and build on the work we have done with our SS7 stack. This is
a great value proposition for our OEM customers as the high reliability
of the Motorola platform seamlessly combines with high performance
software from HSS," said Manoranjan Mohapatra, Executive
Vice President and Chief Operating Officer, HSS. " With our
market-proven protocol stacks, this combination of hardware, software
and system-level integration will provide the flexibility, features
and performance that meet and exceed the needs of OEMs."
"Because we are being asked by our OEM customers to provide
more complete systems than ever before, it is important for Motorola
to partner with organizations like Hughes Software Systems to
deliver comprehensive telecom solutions that customers can simply
build their applications upon," said Paul Virgo, director
of product marketing for Motorola Computer Group. "With telecom
technologies changing so quickly, getting our customers to 3G
for advanced applications like SGSNs using a proven platform such
as the CPX8221 with Hughes' software makes sense. Our goal is
to help our customers to maintain an edge in this competitive
marketplace."
