Bridging 3G, EDGE, GPRS, and WiFi

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the staying-plugged-in dept.

Rob writes to tell us CBR is reporting that T-Mobile is expanding their core network to provide seamless integration of 3G, EDGE, GPRS, and WiFi networks. From the article: "Nortel said it was able to provide T-Mobile with the new service thanks to integration of Nortel's existing Gateway GPRS Support Node with Azaire Networks' IP Converged Network Platform. Azaire's IP-CNP provides an integrated hybrid network by extending the services from the existing 3G and GSM core network investments over new access technologies like WiFi and WiMax, Nortel said."

    The term "FLA" should not be used because it is not itself a "FLA" -- "FLA" is merely a "TLA". The term you're looking for is "ETLA", or "extended three letter acronym".
