Aptilo Selected by Main Street Broadband for WiMAX Network Deployment in US

April 29, 2009/in Carrier Wi-Fi /by Johan Terve

One of the Largest Rural Utilities Service (RUS)-Funded Projects in US; Aptilo Enabling Faster Deployments for Rapid Time-to-Revenue

WIMAX FORUM CONGRESS ASIA — SINGAPORE – Aptilo Networks, the global leader in integrated management solutions for control of billing, user services and access in WiMAX™ and Wi-Fi networks, has been selected by Main Street Broadband, a privately held wireless broadband service provider and strategic partner of Xiocom Wireless, Inc., to provide service management and access control solutions for Main Street Broadband’s deployment of WiMAX networks in its US (Rural Utilities Service)-funded rural markets. Main Street Broadband has received one of the largest RUS-funded projects in the US.

They will utilize the award-winning Aptilo WiMAX CSN System™, which provides control of billing, user services and access in WiMAX networks. Aptilo’s WiMAX CSN System is the first pre-integrated, ready-to-deploy wireless broadband data and voice services solution for mobile WiMAX Authentication, Authorization and Accounting (AAA) and service control.

Aptilo’s field-proven WiMAX CSN System enables fast deployments with rapid time-to-revenue. It offers a unique pre-integrated approach, with multi-access support that allows for management of bundled data and multimedia services over WiMAX and Wi-Fi networks within the same platform.

It features a highly flexible, purpose-built AAA+ core with support for pre- and post-paid data and Voice- over-IP (VoIP) services. The integrated data and voice services solution provides AAA through multiple authentication types and controls Quality of Service (QoS) through service flow descriptors for users, devices and services.

“Our goal is to bring broadband connectivity to rural America.  Aptilo’s pre-integrated solution, proven interoperability and experience will give us a fast-tracked path to launch our WiMAX services,” said Bud Zirkle, President and Chief Operating Officer of Main Street Broadband.

Aptilo’s platform offers exceptional opportunities for operators looking to increase Average Revenue Per User (ARPU), enhance subscriber retention and increase income through the introduction of innovative and revenue-generating value-added wireless data and voice services. Aptilo’s flexible WiMAX platform simplifies the wholesale process as it can send information down to gateways for least-cost routing with the backbone provider of choice. In addition there are rich reporting capabilities supporting the management and billing of service providers.

“We have seen a surge in requests for WiMAX in US rural markets following the distribution of the Federal stimulus money. Aptilo’s pre-integrated solution for fast deployments are ideal for ARRA-funded deployments where deployment speed is crucial,” said Torbjorn Ward, Chief Executive Officer, Aptilo Networks. “Aptilo’s is an ideal solution in today’s challenging economic climate when time-to-revenue is a critical factor. We are proud to be working with Main Street Broadband and Xiocom on this important project.”

The Aptilo WiMAX CSN System is fully interoperable with WiMAX-compliant clients and Access Service Network (ASN) nodes such as WiMAX 802.16-2005-based base stations and ASN gateways through standards interfaces defined by The WiMAX Forum®. “The development of open, interoperable solutions based on industry standards, such as Aptilo’s, will help Xiocom further advance its standardized, network-centric architecture with Main Street and partners around the globe,” stated Steve Erdman, Xiocom President.

The USDA Rural Development Utilities Program was established to increase economic opportunity and to improve the quality of life for rural residents. Through development loans and grants this program assists rural utilities, including Broadband Wireless Services, to expand and deploy the latest technology. Main Street Broadband, through its wholly owned subsidiary Broadband South, is one of the largest RUS-funded initiatives thus far, with 34 million USD in funding received for deployment in 66 markets covering 129 rural communities in Florida and Georgia.
