"While both companies can continue to focus on their respective core competencies, working together has enabled us to create an extremely compelling solution for carriers seeking to implement a mobile WiMAX/WiBro network." Optimum Performance for Applications, Migration ADAPTIX and Interpeak will work closely to implement optimizations to Mobile IPv4 in the areas of fast handoff Switching a cellular phone transmission from one cell to another as a mobile user moves into a new cellular area. The switch takes place in about a quarter of a second so that the caller is generally unaware of it. and packet loss mitigation. These optimizations will enable peak performance of applications that are sensitive to packet network issues, such as VoIP, real-time video and gaming. The Interpeak solution utilized by ADAPTIX will also include a full dual stack IPv4/IPv6 implementation to facilitate carrier migration to Mobile IPv6. In addition, the Interpeak Virtual Router capability will enable carriers to benefit from the Mobile Virtual Network Operator A Mobile Virtual Network Operator (MVNO) is a company that provides mobile (sometimes called wireless or cellular) telephone service but does not have its own allocation of the radio frequency spectrum nor all of the infrastructure required to provide mobile telephone service. (MVNO (Mobile Virtual Network Operator) A reseller of wireless services. MVNOs do not own licensed spectrum and typically do not have any of their own wireless network infrastructure. ) model in which multiple carriers have the ability to share the same physical network. "As a leading and proven provider of WiMAX/WiBro technology, ADAPTIX is a natural partner for Interpeak," stated Johan Fornaeus, CEO, Interpeak. "This offering will allow carriers to optimize performance in order to deliver critical quality of service for products that are in hot demand, such as mobile video, gaming and VoIP."
