Open AirGATE™
Open AirGATE (OAG) Datasheet
PRODUCT OVERVIEW:
OAG is a member of the AirAWARE™ family of connectivity solutions for mobile computers. OAG system
software enables wireless connectivity between mobile computers running AirVU emulators that are AirGATE
Enabled and enterprise networks. With OAG, mobile wireless computers appear as stationary TCP/IP nodes on
the network without incurring the performance degradation, network overhead, system management issues, or
battery power consumption normally associated with transmitting TCP/IP over the mobile wireless link.
OAG uses contemporary three-tier, agent-based architecture to take the TCP/IP protocol traffic off the airwaves
and put it back on the wired LAN, isolating enterprise networks from mobile communication issues. Mobile
clients connect directly to OAG over the wireless network. OAG then establishes and manages the connection
sessions with LAN-connected hosts on behalf of the mobile clients.
PRODUCT POSITIONING:
OAG is an ideal solution in high transaction traffic situations or whenever network performance and response time
is an issue.
KEY FEATURES:
•
Utilizes an open systems based contemporary three-tier agent-based architecture.
•
Isolates network applications from wireless issues.
Session is maintained even if the mobile client goes to sleep or out of range or is turned off.
Increases system performance and capacity, response time, and operational battery time by minimizing
the communication traffic on the wireless link.
•
Provides RF optimized communication, which greatly increases the capacity of the wireless network.
Utilizes industry proven TIP protocol on the wireless network.
Keeps TCP/IP protocol overhead off the wireless line.
Mobile clients appear as wired network TCP/IP nodes.
Installs directly on a UNIX® or Windows NT™ based server, and can manage up to 1,000 wireless
sessions for mobile devices connecting to NT or UNIX resident applications.
Supports a mixed population of key-based, pen-based, and industrial mount PTCs in any combination of
client types. Any combination of ANSI emulation, TRIPS, or custom sockets based client/server
applications can be concurrently active on an OAG system.
Monitors and tracks key communication performance parameters. Response time, retries, error counts,
and other information is maintained per device session.
•
Supports duplicate ID detection and resolution.
•
Supports up to 1,000 concurrently active mobile clients.
Clients can be any combination of pen-based, key-based, emulation, or custom client server platforms.
