Carnegie Technologies Acquires SmartSwitch From Chemring Technology Solutions
01 November 2017 - 8:00PM
Carnegie Technologies, a leading wireless connectivity solutions
provider, announced today its acquisition of the assets of
SmartSwitch from Chemring Technology Solutions Ltd, a subsidiary of
Chemring Group PLC (LSE:CHG), which pioneered a comprehensive
connection management solution for MNOs and MSOs for their Wi-Fi
HetNets. The strategic acquisition of the SmartSwitch assets
brings 3GPP ANDSF and Hot Spot 2.0 compliant connection management
technology that Carnegie will integrate into its Network
Convergence Platform. The acquisition also includes a supporting
patent portfolio as well as extensive experience and knowledge that
complements that of Carnegie.
The unique approach taken by SmartSwitch targets
a consistent user experience across all devices while in the home,
at work, on the move and while out and about. The innovation
required to deliver such a tailored experience, in all real-world
Wi-Fi conditions, has repeatedly demonstrated the value service
providers can extract from their Wi-Fi assets today.
Combining the novel and proven SmartSwitch technology with
Carnegie’s Network Convergence Platform (NCP), which includes
Bandwidth Aggregation, True Gapless Handover, Connection Management
and Network Quality Analytics, creates the optimal solution for the
future of Wi-Fi integration to deliver the perfect user
experience.
The market has shown readiness for bandwidth
aggregation technologies such as Multipath TCP (MPTCP). The
combined capability of SmartSwitch and the patented bandwidth
aggregation capabilities of the Network Convergence Platform goes
directly for the maximum user experience, offering premium
aggregation of data links while ensuring the best Wi-Fi has been
selected in order to maximize the potential for Wi-Fi usage, which
in turn eliminates congestion and cost on the cellular
networks.
Paul Posner, CEO of Carnegie Technologies,
commented: “Carnegie’s acquisition of the SmartSwitch assets
creates an unsurpassed combination of technologies and human
capital, including strong patents, the most advanced platform and
the best people that complement each other and bring the most
powerful products to the marketplace. Many smart devices on the
market today have the capability to access more than one network at
a time, and we’re committed to ensuring that the users of these
devices can benefit from all networks with the optimal user
experience.”
David McDonald, Managing Director of Chemring
Technology Solutions added: “We have seen increasing demand for the
combination of advanced connection management with bandwidth
aggregation, and today’s announcement brings together the best in
class in both of those fields. The combined product suite is
going to provide first-class capability in optimizing the Wi-Fi
experience and is exactly what is needed for the next generation of
smartphone devices.”
