Core Network

  • WiMAX Home Agent & ASN Gateway

Operators looking to capitalize on subscriber demand for mobile broadband have turned to WiMAX as a key ingredient to build their networks. With the expectations set for WiMAX to provide a rich, mobile broadband experience, the load on the core network will be similar to – or even greater than – 3G mobile networks.
Whether a green field opportunity or overlay multi-service, multi-access environment, the ability to successfully launch a high-performance WiMAX network will require connection and mobility management across inter-service provider network boundaries and the processing of subscriber control and bearer data traffic.

 

  • WCDMA GGSN & SGSN

Mobile operators have migrated from GSM, EDGE, UMTS, and now to High Speed Packet Access (HSPA) radio access networks. The rising interest in mobile broadband services has had a significant impact on the 3GPP packet core network.

 

  • CDMA 2000 Home Agent & PDSN

The past few years have seen significant changes in the CDMA market. Mobile operators have migrated from cdmaOne to CDMA2000 1X, and now, to CDMA2000 EV-DO/High Rate Packet Data (HRPD) and Enhanced HRPD (eHRPD). Along with these transitions, the availability of mobile broadband service has had a tremendous impact on the 3GPP2 packet core network.

 

  • LTE PGW & SGW & MME

Operators around the world have been rapidly deploying 3G network technologies, including UMTS, HSPA, and CDMA2000 1xEV-DO, to support increasing subscriber demand for mobile broadband services. Going forward, mobile operators will continue to evolve their core networks to the Long Term Evolution (LTE) Evolved Packet Core (EPC) specification to provide multi-megabit bandwidth, latency reduction, and improved mobility.

 

  • PCEF/DPI/LI/Femtocell

DPI allows mobile operators to meet the complex and processing-intensive accounting challenges through the ability to bill appropriately for services that subscribers use.
It is capabilities provide "user understanding" through in-depth examination of data packets. Based on the information derived from deep packet inspection, mobile operators are able to develop tiered and detailed billing schemes based on how mobile subscribers utilize their devices.
