VA, September 14, 2009 — Encore
Networks today announced that Iusacell
Cellular, Mexico’s second largest cellular
provider, has certified their VPN router,
the BANDIT-II™,
for CDMA and EVDO applications. After
passing a series of rigorous technical
and compatibility tests in their Mexico
City labs, Iusacell Cellular has approved
the BANDIT-II™ to provide
secure high speed data over cellular
for corporate applications throughout
Mexico.
Iusacell Cellular, a member
of Grupo Salinas, was the first wireless
cellular service provider in Mexico with
3G CDMA/EVDO technology. They offer a
range of telecommunications services
and multi-media applications including
local and long-distance telephony, messaging
services, mobile television, and wireless
broadband to over 4 million subscribers.
“Iusacell stands by its commitment to
clients, employees and suppliers to maintain
the highest quality standards in daily
operations by continuously offering more
and better communications services through
state-of-the-art technology,” said David
Silva, Encore Networks Director of Latin
American Sales. “With this certification,
the BANDIT-II has proven to integrate
with Iusacell’s existing systems and
will meet the stringent corporate requirements
supporting current and emerging broadband
cellular applications.”
Encore’s BANDIT-II™ is
a fully featured integrated VPN router
complete with firewall, terminal server,
serial-to-IP conversion, legacy-to-IP
conversion and VPN functionalities. The
EVDO capabilities of the BANDIT-II™ can
be utilized in either the primary or
failover network port. The seamless cellular
failover feature is ideally suited for
Disaster Recovery applications.
Designed in both industrially hardened
(rugged) and commercial grade versions,
the
BANDIT-II™ ensures secure, high-throughput
data networking connections directly
to cellular, VSAT or terrestrial networks.
The BANDIT-II™ supports private or public
digital facilities, MPLS-based IP services
and other broadband services.
According to the U.S. Commercial Service,
the convergence area is the largest growth
sector of the Mexican communications
market. Even with the current economic
downturn, wireless technologies and applications
for corporate use remain the hot area
with mobile communications experiencing
strong growth.
Silva continued, “Taking into consideration
Iusacell’s experience and reputation
for high quality performance standards,
I am confident of our success in Mexico
as they aggressively address the cellular
data needs of corporate enterprise customers.”
