| | Winphoria Networks Unveils Packet-Based Mobile Switching Center, Providing A Road Map For 3G Migration (Site not responding. Last check: ) |
 | | Winphoria Networks announced the availability of the Winphoria WMS-5000, a full-featured Mobile Switching Center (MSC) to address both the current capacity concerns of wireless service providers as well as the challenges of the forthcoming migration to next-generation networks. |
 | | Despite these growth prospects, the market remains rooted in legacy core switching equipment that is engineered strictly for voice, supportive of only circuit traffic, and unable to adapt to handle the increased subscriber growth and to support the new multi-protocol requirements that will accompany migration to next-generation wireless networks. |
 | | "The mobile wireless industry is facing an unprecedented increase in traffic, yet the current generation of core switching equipment is largely the same as it was 20 years ago," said Michael Champa, Winphoria CEO and president. |
