Acme Packet adds FMC to its Net-Net SG

Acme Packet has upgraded its Net-Net Security Gateway (SG) after seeing some major growth figures for the fixed mobile convergence (FMC) market.

The Net-Net SG is getting some new enhancements so that it can cater to the FMC market. What use is your VoIP system if everyone wants to use their mobile phones? Enter FMC and suddenly everyone's mobile is also their VoIP/UC handset. The SG will enable service providers to scale their FMC services delivered using IP-based consumer and enterprise femtocell, picocell and WiFi access points. The system is a multi-service gateway which can secure voice and data delivery over untrusted Internet and WiFi networks to the aforementioned femto's and pico's as well as to dual-mode endpoints. The Net-Net SG supports multiple consumer and enterprise FMC applications, including femtocell and picocell access as well as dual-mode handsets from UMA and SIP clients.

The company quotes an Infonetics Research report that shows that the multiservice security gateway market will be a $1.6 billion opportunity from 2010 to 2014. Acme Packet believes their enhancements address critical security, service reach and management challenges that have arisen for service providers moving to bigger commercial FMC deployments.
