Spectrum Wireless, Inc. Releases
Version 3.0 of Proprietary Integrated Broadband Operating System
BELLEVUE, Wash.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--July 9, 2001-- Spectrum Wireless,
Inc., a Leading Developer of Wireless IP routers, Today Announced
the Launch of Version 3.0 of Their Proprietary Integrated Broadband
Operating System, Dubbed IBOS(TM)
Spectrum Wireless' Integrated Broadband Operating System(TM) (IBOS(TM))
delivers sophisticated network service capability for fixed wireless
broadband networks to provide advanced network service and management
elements.
The sophisticated IP feature set gives wireless broadband service
operators the flexibility to deliver a wide range of customer solutions
in a single box. Some of the features available include DHCP, NAT,
VPN, firewall, RIP and OSPF in the dynamic routing set, customizable
options for service provider configuration, and traffic shaping
so service providers can offer QoS. Spectrum Wireless integrates
multiple radio systems in licensed and unlicensed bands for flexibility
in frequency and performance including 1.9 GHz, 2.4 GHz, 2.5 GHz,
3.5 GHz, and 5.8 GHz. The solution supports different radio systems
so the features can be applied across a growing number of wireless
transport systems -- providing uniformity in application regardless
of the wireless system chosen. A menu-driven interface offers easy
configuration and reduces the needs for training. Benefits received
by providers include reduced CPE costs associated with additional
routers and other equipment. Spectrum Wireless' solution is the
only integrated system at the edge of a network enabling routing
at Levels 3-7, thus reducing capital expenses and creating more
scalable networks that grow to the needs of service providers and
end customers.
"Spectrum Wireless is pleased to be able to offer such rich
features and functionality to our service providers," said
Dave Bukovich, Spectrum Wireless' Director of Wireless Services.
"As we launch IBOS(TM) to meet the needs of the telecommunications
carrier, private network operator, radio manufacturer, and ISP markets,
we look to continue designing and building state-of-the-art wireless
routing infrastructure components for WLL/Fixed Broadband systems
to solve the challenges of the last mile."
