NMS is a leading provider of communications technologies and solution enabling enhanced services and efficient networks that help our customers grow their revenues and profits

NMS AcceessGate 500 is a new wireless access gateway for radio access networks (RANs). It is designed to be located one gateway at the radio cell site and another complementary gateway at the mobile switching gateways (See diagram below).

AccessGate 500 provides up to 2:1 bandwidth savings (see diagram above), drastically lowering operating expenses and allowing wireless operators to recover their investment in approximately 12 months. AccessGate is specifically designed for radio access networks (RANs) and consists of gateways installed at the mobile switching office (MSO) that are connected to gateways deployed in the cell sites.

It uses channel aggregate and bandwidth reduction techniques enable wireless operators o maximize network utilization, resulting in significant reduction in costs while preserving call quality. Both 2G and 3G mobile traffic can be compressed from multiple cells site onto a TDM backhaul to an NMS access gateway. NMS AccessGate reduces the number T1/E1 connections to the MSO. These systems are designed to address the critical requirements of telecom operators. With a common backhaul, provisioning and management is easy and these gateway systems work with the operator's existing management infrastructure.

AccessGate 500 wireless access gateway has achieved interoperability approval from Nortel Networks. Testing was done using GSM infrastructure equipment located in Nortel Networks Wireless Interoperability Lab in Richardson, Texas. It is an ideal solution for telecom operators who have GSM networks with more than one E1 or T1 line to a cell site. In additional, the AccessGate 500 is also valuable for telecom operators with plans to migrate to 3G.
