The platform
provides switching facilities for Indigo Wireless subscribers and its
roaming partners, with services for voice, video and data. Globecomm’s
carrier-class 3G switch platform, which entered service in November
2009, enables carriers to have access to broadened wireless coverage
without a major capital or operational investment.
With full redundancy for all major components, the switch provides a 100
percent IP-based soft-switch architecture with a forward path to 4G
technologies. The switch core has a capacity to service more than
1,000,000 subscribers.
To support the new switch, Globecomm installed dedicated power systems
in its Network Operations Center in Hauppauge, New York, where
technicians and engineers provide 24/7 network-monitoring and customer
support. Redundant fiber circuits and generator systems support the
Globecomm facility.
Dave Tews, Indigo Wireless CEO and President, said: “We chose
Globecomm’s 3G platform because of its reputation for providing
high-performance hosted mobile services within a secure and trusted
facility.”
Andy Silberstein, Globecomm Vice President and General Manager of
Services, said: "We are proud to provide Indigo Wireless services
utilizing our carrier-grade hosted mobile core switch and is an example
of how Globecomm can help wireless carriers seamlessly and profitably
advance to the next generation of mobile services.”
