MATIP - Mapping of Airline Traffic over Internet Protocol - allows the industry to take advantage of modern communications infrastructure and lower-cost TCP/IP networking, and is quickly becoming the standard for new host connections.

As part of the Babel suite of Emulators, Damarel has now released the Mini-MATIP Gateway, a software service that acts as a ‘virtual gateway’, managing the upline MATIP protocol and acting as a concentrator – allowing pooling and resource sharing for ASCUs that is otherwise missing from the protocol.

By handling all the host addressing, the Damarel Mini-MATIP gateway removes the need to have proprietary and often expensive Legacy Gateways, replacing them with a location independent service available to MATIP clients.

Whether installed on-site in the CUTE core room, remotely in the Damarel Data Centre or even in the airlines own IT department, the Mini-MATIP Gateway provides a secure, reliable method of easily implementing MATIP.

Benefits include:

• Allows the use of modern communication networks
• Supports the transmission of ALC and UTS protocols over TCP/IP
• Elimates the need for expensive hardware and legacy networks e.g. X.25
• End-to-end MATIP support (Client <-> Host)
• Location independent service
• Simple migration path

The Mini-MATIP gateway is a proven solution, already in use by major international airlines.
