New Product Enables Deployment of IPv6 in Mobile Networks
MACAU, China, Nov. 12 /PRNewswire/ -- Hexago, the leading provider of
IPv6 deployment solutions, today announced the launch of Gateway6 Mobile,
an essential component for the seamless deployment of IPv6 in mobile
networks. Gateway6 Mobile is designed to fulfill the emerging IP data needs
of mobile networks by providing connectivity and interoperability between
IPv4 and IPv6 networks, handsets, applications and services. Hexago will
exhibit at GSMA Mobile Asia Congress in booth E08, this week in Macau.
"The ever increasing popularity of data services, IMS and the trend
toward always-on mobile broadband are putting increasing pressure on the
limited address space of IPv4," said Bruce Sinclair, Hexago CEO. "For
mobile communications to grow and flourish the transition to IPv6 must
occur. During the transition from IPv4 to IPv6 the two protocols will need
to interoperate without disrupting current services. Hexago is pleased to
bring to market the industry's first IP Gateway designed to provide
seamless interoperability for mobile operators migrating to IPv6."
In conjunction with the launch of Gateway6 Mobile, Hexago has released
a whitepaper, "Deploying IPv6 in Mobile Networks." This whitepaper, the
first in a series addressing IPv6 in mobile networks, examines new network
architectures to support the growth of the mobile Internet. It is available
on Hexago's Web site at http://www.hexago.com.
Key features of Gateway6 Mobile include:
-- seamless transition to IPv6: an integral part of a cost-effective
migration strategy,
-- a cost-effective dual-stack solution using existing 3G network
infrastructure,
-- dual-stack connectivity over single PDP context for 3GPP networks,
-- transparent interoperability between IPv4 and IPv6 networks, handsets,
applications and services
-- Quality of Service (QoS) support, and
-- carrier grade for reliability and scalability to tens of thousands of
users.
Gateway6 Mobile provides operators with a flexible managed IP tunneling
mechanism combined with various translation methods. The IPv6 deployment
functionalities of Gateway6 Mobile are packaged in a carrier grade
platform, providing operators the expected availability, robustness,
scalability and manageability to meet their stringent operating
requirements.
One of the IPv6 deployment challenges in mobile networks is to provide
IPv6 and IPv4 connectivity and services while optimizing bandwidth and
frequency utilization. Gateway6 Mobile delivers dual-stack connectivity to
mobile users without relying on channel intensive strategies, such as dual
PDP contexts.
