Interpeak Launches Networking And Security Solution For Next-Generation Wireless Devices

Boston and Stockholm, Sweden -- Interpeak announced at the Embedded Systems Conference a networking and security solution for next-generation mobile phones and wireless devices. The solution comprises a number of Interpeak's software products - Mobile IP, Radius, IKE, WPA2 Supplicant, IPSEC, and a dual mode IPv4/IPv6 TCP/IP protocol stack - bundled together to meet the networking, security, and mobility requirements of the next-generation mobile phones and wireless devices. The new bundled software enables rapid and comprehensive development and deployment of networking and security capabilities in wireless devices.

"Next-generation wireless devices will leverage all facets of the Internet," commented Johan Fornaeus, CEO of Interpeak. "Mobile phones will be able to connect via a cellular network, Wireless LAN, or WiMAX, which entails a new set of requirements for Internet protocols and security. Interpeak's bundled solution allows for seamless and secure transition between these disparate networks."

Manufacturers are already turning to Interpeak for its complete solution for the increasingly complex requirements imposed by UMTS for 3gpp phones. Such phones have challenging technical requirements that include the ability to move across different types of networks. Additionally, these phones require flexible technology with a small footprint, processor-independence, and compatibility with multimedia protocols such as SIP, RTP, and RTCP. Interpeak's software package meets these needs and supports all major real-time operating systems including INTEGRITY, OSE, Nucleus, VxWorks, and Linux, and may be used with in-house systems.

Customers may select either IPNET or IPLITE, Interpeak's IPv4/IPv6 protocol stacks, depending on their product priorities. Interpeak claimes IPNET is the first commercial TCP/IP stack to pass the IPv6 Forum's requirements for using its IPv6 READY logo as either a host or router. IPLITE is Interpeak's ultra compact host stack.
