Ericsson’s offering: a complete portfolio
Ericsson has introduced the industry’s most advanced Evolved Packet Core portfolio. It complies with standards and adds the new functionality to existing Ericsson packet core products, through simple software upgrades.
This minimizes capital expenditure and ensures a smooth migration to the new core network architecture.
The portfolio includes the following nodes:
- Mobile Packet Gateway (GGSN-MPG)
- Converged Packet Gateway (CPG)
- Mobility Management Entity (SGSN-MME)
- Service-Aware Policy Controller (SAPC)
The Mobile Packet Gateway is suitable for operators with an installed base of Ericsson GGSNs, and very large numbers of subscribers. The Converged Packet Gateway addresses the new converged broadband segment. It is built on Ericsson’s powerful SmartEdge platform and caters for both mobile and fixed broadband traffic.
The legacy SGSN is not needed in the traffic plane of the Evolved Packet Core architecture. With new software the Ericsson SGSN is easily re-designated as a Mobility Management Entity. This way the node is re-used for control signaling, supporting pooled deployment and still having the capabilities to handle legacy GSM and WCDMA traffic.
The Service-Aware Policy Controller provides advanced policy control functionality and is a key component in converged core network solutions.
