Top Global, a wireless convergence solution provider, announced the World's First Dual Slot Enterprise Class MobileBridge solutions that link 3G mobile and Wi-Fi networks. Top Global's solution, called MobileBridge, serves as a gateway/router that links 3G and Wi-Fi networks, enabling enterprises the flexibility and convenience of broadband wireless internet including both voice and data services in mobile and remote environments. The Dual Slot Universal MobileBridge utilizes Top Global's patented MultiLink load balancing technology to optimise the total effective throughput, and it also utilizes Top Global's proprietary AutoSwitch network redundancy software.

The Universal MobileBridge is a standard universal gateway that supports all EVDO data cards available in the USA including PC5220/AC580, V620 and KPC650. Enterprises continue to demand for higher data throughput and for redundancy in wireless networks. With the dual slot design, we effective solve two problems at the same time. For example, enterprise customers in the USA can now use the

Mobilebridge with both EVDO and UMTS/HSDPA networks at the same time. They not only get higher throughput but also have an automatic back up solution in case one link is down. In Europe however, customers can get two UMTS links from two independent service providers to enjoy the same benefits.

The flexible systems architecture of the Universal MobileBridge supports any of the combinations of EVDO, CDMA 1x, EDGE, and UMTS today and can migrate to support HSDPA and EVDO Rel.A standards with firmware upgrade in the near future.
