IPWIN (A Public WiFi
Solution)
TeleDNA’s versatile
IPWIN solution aids in providing
high speed wireless Internet access for business
customers in public hotspots such as airports,
hotel lounges, cafes and train stations. IPWIN
would enable a business traveler wirelessly
log into his corporate network and working from
an airport while he or she is waiting for the
next flight. More importantly, he can do this
from any airport in the world using the existing
GSM/CDMA roaming infrastructure with a single
subscription and bill.
IPWIN uses the most widely
deployed wireless standard 802.11b(WiFi)
to provide this service. This mature
and inexpensive WiFi technology can be used
for accessing the web or corporate databases
and even for realtime applications like Internet
telephony. The IPWIN will marry the public wireless
access points (WLANs, PAN-Bluetooth)
into the existing cellular core network infrastructure.
IPWIN is a complete solution
that provides Authentication, Billing, Subscription
Management and Network Management. IPWIN can
be configured to support an endless list of
deployment scenarios - Mobile Network Operator,
Wireless ISP, hotel owners, airport lounges,
cafeterias, convention halls, warehouses, hospitals,
media events etc.
The inadequacy of slow data
rates of current cellular networks combined
with the rapid deployment of high-speed Wireless
Local Area Networks (WLANs) with a single subscription
creates a good value proposition for a cellular
network operator to deploy IPWIN.
IPWIN provides seamless authentication,
security, roaming, policy management and subscription
management across a variety of wireless access
networks utilizing the cellular operator’s
existing core network infrastructure.
When deployed
by a Mobile Network Operator, IPWIN will integrate
the WiFi networks into the existing mobile core
network infrastructure to make use of already
built in roaming agreements, authentication
schemes, subscription management and billing.
TeleDNA's patent pending SoftSIM
technology can be used to replace a hardware
based SIM card for authentication
of a WiFi user. The same IPWIN can also be used
as an AAA and Push
Enabler for 2.5G deployments. IPWIN
is a much needed infrastructure network element
that can serve multiple purposes for wireless
carriers to deploy services cost effectively.
