networks, by providing complimentary solutions for the current backbone infrastructure utilizing cutting edge IP convergence technology. The company’s solutions deal with the setback of dependency on wire-line technology. Airslide's Nebula Family of Gateways provides an IP-based converged cellular network. The company combines, signaling, voice, and data technology and converges them into one efficient cost-effective IP network. This convergence can be deployed through a phased migration, beginning with the SS7 signaling network. Airslide's SMS/IP offloading solution utilizes the SS7 signaling network from the SMS traffic onto an IP network. Following the installation and implementation of the Nebula Gateway SMS/IP solution, this signaling traffic can be offloaded onto an IP network. The company is based New York City, and has an additional office in Herzelia Pituach, Israel.
