WiChorus’ Mobile Internet Gateway is a first of its kind solution integrating all of the WiMAX edge and core functions necessary to deploy NWG-compliant Mobile WiMAX networks in a single feature-rich platform with industry-leading performance, providing a cost-effective entry-level solution for operators. Functions supported include ASN Gateway, Home Agent, AAA (Authentication, Authorization, and Accounting), peer-to-peer traffic management, advanced charging, policy control, lawful intercept and security. While simplifying initial deployments, the Mobile Internet Gateway also provides a smooth migration path towards larger networks over time.

Based upon WiChorus’ SmartCore platform, its WiMAX Mobile Internet Gateway offers value-added content management capabilities that allow operators to identify and monitor network content at a very granular level, including difficult to track peer-to-peer applications. Operators can define standard policies across their network for controlling and managing network resources based on this content to ensure equitable access amongst their paying subscribers. This network intelligence can also be used to support unique content-based services through differentiated QoS and accounting.
