29th July 2004 - Flash Networks, today announced the
release of its NettGain 1400 WLAN solution for wireless
carriers. NettGain 1400 is a complete operator support
system (OSS) for Wi-Fi deployments, which integrates
with existing network infrastructure, enabling carriers
to achieve both financial savings and increased revenue.
Helping wireless operators to bring innovative services
and applications to market quickly is crucial for increasing
network traffic. With NettGain 1400, carriers are able
to target their customer base with a range of services,
including roaming and flexible charging schemes, that
increase subscriber usage of WiFi and offer a single
point of contact for customer billing and customer support.
NettGain 1400 enables significant improvement of WLAN
user experience by facilitating service accessibility
and improving usability, resulting in increased network
traffic and revenues for carriers.
Integrating Wi-Fi with existing networks can involve
a heavy burden on wireless operators’ budgets,
resulting in reduced profitability. NettGain 1400 is
able to minimise this investment requirement, allowing
carriers to gain financial and technological advantage
from WiFi deployments. NettGain’s architecture
makes it possible to transparently integrate any type
of hotspot and requires no hotspot modification. The
solution supports all major networks including the GSM
and CDMA family of technologies, and allows easy integration
with all vendors systems. NettGain 1400 also provides
security features like privacy, anonymity, data integrity
and mutual authentication.
In addition to making Wi-Fi services more accessible
for users, Flash Networks’ NettGain 1400 comprehensively
addresses operator needs by incorporating a single platform
for tasks such as billing, authentication, authorisation,
accounting and subscriber database management, significantly
reducing Opex. Carriers are also able to use the solution
to reduce Capex, by avoiding the purchase of additional
equipment and software for provisioning, management,
reporting and statistics.
“NettGain 1400 offers operators a major advantage
by enabling the delivery of a single, simple service
to their subscriber base, which enables customer retention,
drives up revenue and helps carriers gain leadership
in the WLAN space. By providing a single point of contact
for billing and customer care, NettGain 1400 enables
operators to create wide ranging roaming agreements
that are critical for WLAN up-take" said Yair Shapira,
Flash Networks CTO and VP Business Development.
Zvi Peled, CEO of Flash Networks added “For the
cellular carrier wishing to launch WLAN services, NettGain
1400 will reduce time to market by interoperating with
any existing equipment and enabling fast adoption of
the service by enriching user experience. Flash Networks
is committed to providing pioneering technology to accelerate
adoption of mobile data services by offering the best
user experience, over the broadest network coverage,
while minimising operator cost."
