SALT LAKE CITY, June 22 /PRNewswire/ -- Sensar Corporation (Nasdaq: SCII) announced today that Net2Wireless had completed the installation of its 3Gate platform on Pelephone Communications' CDMA cellular infrastructure. Pelephone is the only CDMA cellular carrier in Israel and has over 1.2 million subscribers.
The installation is the first stage of the agreement that was signed between Net2Wireless Corporation and Pelephone Communications Ltd., a joint venture between Motorola and Bezeq in March of this year. (See announcement from March 30th.) Pelephone will now commence pilot testing of the technology.
"The 3Gate platform allows carriers to provide 3G applications over existing 2G cellular infrastructures. This is a significant competitive advantage for the cellular carrier that signs up for our platform," said Nechemia Davidson, CEO of Net2Wireless. "Over the past six months, we have been working hard to perfect out technology and to build our business infrastructure. We now have over 100 employees and have established preliminary relationships with several carriers around the world."
The 3Gate platform enables Pelephone to provide varied 3G services such as fast Wireless Internet, Wireless Streaming Video/Audio, Wireless E-mail, Wireless Instant Messaging, Wireless Unified Dynamic Storage and Messaging, Wireless Data Streaming, Wireless entertainment and Wireless Corporate Solution, all without bandwidth and infrastructure limitation.
The services are accessible through the Pelephone's Circuit Switch Data (CSD) network at up to 14.4 Kbps, and in the near future through Pelephone's new High Speed Packet Data (HSPD) network at up to 64 Kbps.
Net2Wireless has developed technologies to enable digital cellular operators to provide applications that would typically be provided through a 3G network, using 2G existing infrastructure and mobile devices such as PDA's, smart mobile phones and handheld computers, all these over one backbone. Net2Wireless technologies utilize state-of-the-art digital content compression, advanced pattern recognition technology and innovative streaming communication technology, supporting scalable communications from 9.6 Kbps and higher, using ultra-low bandwidth. The system is scalable, modular and fully redundant.
