NbW have built on our established position as market leader in the design, construction and support of fixed IP broadband infrastructures to take the lead in the provision of IP mobility infrastructures.

As awareness of the capabilities and potential of WiMAX, Wi-Fi and Mobility technologies has grown, NbW have developed a highly secure, highly available, high capacity IP mobility solution to meet a range of demands and applications.

The solution is secure and reliable thanks to NbW’s mobile IP VPN software, Mobility XE, which provides enhanced security functionality along with session and application persistence for each client device used. Robust and scalable, the solution is also capable of delivering high capacities per user over any region of interest to the client, thanks to a combination of fixed wireless (WiMAX and Licensed Radio) and Wi-Fi infrastructures.

Such infrastructures are clearly capable of delivering a large range of mobile applications including:

• Data
  
• VoIP
  
• Video
  
• IP CCTV
  

• Handheld PDAs
  
• Vehicle mounted devices
  
• Kiosks
  
• Mobile libraries
  
• Homes
  
• Ticket machines
  
• Traffic (Monitoring/Control) Management
  
• Systems

These applications offer huge benefits in terms of productivity and efficiency to a wide variety of public and private sector organisations. Users could include emergency services personnel such as doctors, paramedics, police beat officers and fire crews, local authority staff such as traffic wardens, maintenance workers and social care workers.

Typical advantages include:

• Free OnNet voice calls between users - not just between colleagues, but between different groups of users who need to liaise, such as police and social workers. Dual mode phones are becoming prevalent for use in Wi-Fi environments, with handover to GPRS or 3G when out of Wi-Fi coverage.
  

• Cross public sector working – increasing communication and improving information sharing between different public sector bodies such as local education authorities and social services, Police, NHS, criminal justice, youth workers and parole officers
  
  
• Increased efficiencies of working – instead of having to come in to the office to do paper work or collect details of the next job, staff can communicate with the office whilst out on street
  
  
• User engagement – all workers can now join in on the roll out and use of CRM, Oracle, SAP etc. People need no longer be excluded from using new processes or new software due to their working environment

NbW can offer a wide range of commercial propositions, from full client ownership to a fully managed service.

An IP mobility infrastructure offers an effective solution that is quick to implement, The resulting network is scalable with regards to capacity - providing many Mbps per user - and geography. It can be easily added to and enhanced.

Once in place, the infrastructure will continue to earn its keep; it will be sustainable for years to come as it uses standards based components that will be upgradeable and compatible with future standards releases and technology updates.
