WICHORUS WINS BEST MOBILE START-UP AT MOBILE EXCELLENCE AWARDS
SAN JOSE, CA, December 15, 2009 –WiChorus, the wireless industry’s Smart 4G Packet Core leader, was chosen by the Mobile Excellence Awards (MEA) as “Best Mobile Start-Up”. The MEAs, produced by Little Monster Media was founded and created to recognize the best in mobile entertainment industry including media, marketing and technology. The Best Mobile Start-up honors the mobile entertainment oriented company with less than three years in business that has achieved the most success.
WiChorus earned recognition by addressing the biggest business model challenge mobile data networks have ever faced. The low monthly flat-rate revenue model of mobile broadband networks, heavily hammered with the exponentially growing use of off-portal Internet traffic, leaves little profits for operators. Mobile operators need a new generation of packet core products that cost-effectively accommodate the mobile internet’s massive capacity requirements while providing intelligence to enable new business models, such as content-based services, tiered-services and mobile advertising.
WiChorus has been singularly focused on innovating packet core technology from the ground-up to solve this fundamental problem of 4G mobile broadband networks and gained significant market traction in a short time. Operators such as Clearwire and Open Range are deploying 4G networks today based on WiChorus’ product. With an ever increasing demand for media-rich content on mobile devices, WiChorus SmartCore solutions are well positioned to deliver significant value to operators worldwide over the next several years.
Tellabs has since acquired WiChorus to expand into mobile packet core networks, deliver new applications and provide significant savings for mobile carriers.
“The Tellabs® 9000 SmartCore series provides the necessary innovative elements for operators to build a strong and beneficial 4G network business model which addresses the demand for media-rich content over the mobile Internet”, said Rehan Jalil, now senior vice president, mobile Internet at Tellabs. “Winning the MEA’s Best Mobile Start-Up award demonstrates our leadership in developing the only wireless core platform purpose-built for today’s rapidly evolving mobile Internet.”
