The MPAK Router (MPR) serves as a transparent gateway between fixed terminals (FST) and the Mobitex network. By taking advantage of the host group functionality in Mobitex, the MPR allows a single fixed terminal to appear at several connection points.
The fixed terminal can be virtually present at numerous locations in the network, while the MPR handles the additional complexity introduced by the host group functionality. No implementation changes are required in the application running on the fixed terminal. The result is that the traffic load on upper levels of the network is reduced, thus allowing network utilization to be increased.
