Green Packet’s WiMAX Rev-e CPE is pre-integrated with its Intouch CM software.

The Intouch CM is a lifestyle-centric connection management solution developed by Green Packet Solutions and currently deployed by Telco’s in various Asian markets.

Intouch CM ensures users are able to communicate any time, anywhere, by crossing network boundaries.  End-users gain connectivity convenience with a single sign-on and a host of value-added services all via one user-friendly interface.

From a business perspective, Intouch CM also addresses the need for Telco’s and ISP’s to overcome the constant challenge of network congestion, by offloading bandwidth intensive networks to a WiFi network, thus eliminating the network congestion problems faced by operators worldwide. This allows the maximization of the operator’s current network infrastructure without the need for heavy capital expenditure in additional network infrastructure.

Green Packet’s products and solutions are showcased at the Alcatel-Lucent booth # 427, Hall F1 at the World WiMAX Exhibition and Conference currently being held at the McCormick Place Convention Center, Chicago. USA.
