Sevis Systems Certifies Its 6000 Series Mobile Backhaul Solution
with
Datum's PSM-500 Series SCPC Modems
Joint Solution Provides Mobile Operators Superior GPRS Data Performance Over Satellite A.bis Links
PLANO, TX – (April 8, 2009) – Sevis Systems, a global provider of advanced mobile solutions, announced today it has successfully certified its 6000 Series mobile backhaul products with Datum Systems' PSM-500 Series SCPC modems. As part of the certification, Sevis products were networked with Datum's solution and tested against a GSM traffic generator to ensure that:
- All voice codecs, signaling, and data were supported.
- GSM traffic was optimized at a rate of 50% or better across serial and IP interfaces.
- Latency introduced by each product was minimized.
- The appropriate Quality of Service (QoS) was applied for each type of traffic flow.
The Sevis 6000 Series mobile backhaul solution significantly reduces the cost of the network infrastructure between cell towers, base station controllers, and mobile switching centers by optimizing bandwidth on A.bis, A.ter, A, and E interfaces without impacting network QoS. Furthermore, the 6000 Series is an industry first in that the platform also offers enhanced software applications to mobile operators.
Datum Systems designs, manufactures, and markets its industry leading SCPC solutions to service providers and enterprises worldwide. "The PSM-500 Series of modems from Datum are ideally suited for mobile backhaul networks" said David Koblinski, Vice President of Marketing and Business Development at Datum Systems. "Datum's unique design approach, coupled with our new Flexible-LDPC coding schemes, help minimize end-to-end latency on backhaul links which is critical to reliable GPRS transport".
As a result of the interop testing distribution partners and mobile operator customers have an efficient, cost effective solution for SCPC backhaul networks. "The combined Sevis and Datum solution is really the answer for customers who are demanding an alternative to the legacy SCPC and optimization technologies that have been offered up to this point," said Greg Kustudia, Vice President of Global Partners at Sevis Systems. "We have already received several opportunities as a result of this technology alliance and look forward to working with Datum on future projects."
