In this solution Topex brings its strong expertise in developing VoIP based network infrastructure equipment including softswitches and media gateways. Redline Communications, the first in the world to receive WiMAX Forum Certification™ for a complete WiMAX system, brings years of expertise in deploying large scale wireless broadband networks. Redline’s suite of backhaul and last mile wireless network access products will support the IP solution. The voice & video switching, the interconnection with other networks and the customer premises equipment operate through Topex Next Generation Network equipment.

The core of Topex solution includes the proven, highly scalable, Topex multiSWITCH engine. Gateways between the IP and other landline or mobile networks are also included, alongside with Topex Double Wireless Routers. With its open architecture, Topex multiSWITCH provides WISPs great flexibility to develop custom solutions based on best-of-breed hardware and software components. The Topex Media Gateway family includes all major signaling protocols in the industry.
