Sprint is to deploy the Starent ST40 multimedia core platform to provide subscriber management and mobility for its XOHM WiMAX network. With the XOHM network launch, Sprint will be providing secure, mobile broadband access to the Internet utilizing WiMAX, a fourth-generation (4G) wireless technology. Sprint's aim is to expand Internet access through a new class of devices beyond laptops and cell phones, such as portable media players, video cameras, MP3s and more. Starent Networks' solutions will play a key role in the network by anchoring the subscriber's connection, enabling roaming throughout the network. Sprint has already announced that ecosystem partners will create multimode devices that will support services on both 4G networks and 3G networks in areas outside of planned 4G coverage. Starent Networks' solutions will provide universal roaming capabilities designed to enable handoffs between a 3G and mobile WiMAX network.
