Solutions: Wireless Operators

Wireless network operators can extend the reach of their voice and multimedia services to provide fixed and mobile services that extend their service areas, create closer bonds with consumer and commercial customers and attract new revenue streams. The SAFARI C3 Media Switching System provides a future-proof migration path to WiMAX voice and multimedia services and supports dynamic QoS and a seamless migration to IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) architectures. It allows wireless operators to greatly simplify operations and reduce the cost of delivering VoIP services. The SAFARI C3 changes the economic model for wireless voice services and can scale to cost-effectively support as few as 2,500 lines to as many as 250,000 lines in a single platform.

SAFARI C3 is an access-agnostic media switching system that allows wireless service providers to continue to use existing network assets and build value in the network. Cedar Point enables the alignment of WiMAX and IMS standards and allows wireless service providers to share the experience of providing real time, latency-dependent services in a similar shared-access medium.

Cedar Point Communications supports dynamic QoS mapping and policy management to ensure that SIP service flows receive the optimum bandwidth to support wireless voice services on a per-session basis. SAFARI C3 allows wireless network operators to establish and enforce QoS parameters for throughput, latency and jitter, and it allows operators to use managed IP in conjunction with WiMAX to prioritize traffic and ensure the highest possible QoS experience for each voice call.

Because of its scalable and flexible architecture, new applications can be integrated into SAFARI C3 or can be accessed via third-party application servers. Even when SAFARI C3 is supporting 100,000 voice subscribers, the system uses less than 10 percent of its switching fabric, leaving plenty of capacity for wireless multimedia applications. SAFARI C3's unique architecture enables it to handle packet-to-packet, packet-to-circuit, circuit-to-packet and circuit-to-circuit calls over the same packet-based switch fabric.

The newest addition to the Cedar Point lineup is the SafariFusion™ family of products.  This versatile, next-generation solution enables network system operators to harness the flexibility of IP Multimedia System architecture for carrier-class residential and business communications services.

The solution, which leverages industry standard Web 2.0 tools and applications for rapid deployment of multimedia communications services includes the SafariFusion™ Application Platform and two initial applications: the SafariFusion™ Residential Communication Application for residential services and the SafariFusion™ Registration and Routing Application to simplify network registration, routing, and service roaming.
