Cost-effective scalability to efficiently meet growing capacity, coverage and migration needs. AirNet provides the easiest, quickest and most cost-effective way to evolve any wireless network from where it is today, to where it needs to be tomorrow.

Seamless interoperability: To ensure seamless interoperability among network components, all AirNet products -- including the AirNet^® Base Station Controller (BSC) and Transcoder Rate Adapter Unit (TRAU) -- meet the latest Global System for Mobile Communications (GSM) specifications. This open-architecture standard gives service providers the flexibility to combine best-of-class products and create the optimum network solution for their needs. AirNet’s products also have demonstrated interoperability with the world’s leading mobile switching center (MSC) manufacturers.

Future-proof, cost-effective design: AirNet’s future-proof Base Station Subsystem (BSS) incorporates advanced digital signal processing, a programmable switching fabric, and a software architecture based on the latest object-oriented design technology. This design delivers the high performance system service providers need to offer revenue-generating voice services today, with the assurance that the AirNet BSS will meet the high-speed broadband needs of tomorrow.

The most efficient way to evolve service implementation: When it’s time to upgrade the AirNet BSS to support high-speed protocols like General Packet Radio Service (GPRS) or Enhanced Data for Global Evolution (EDGE), the simple installation of AirNet’s Packet Control Unit (PCU) will fully support the G_b interface to any vendor’s Serving GPRS Support Node (SGSN). Everything else is just a software upgrade.
