Motorola’s Home & Networks Mobility business has launched Wireless Broadband Core (WBC) 700 portfolio, comprised of its mobility management entity (MME), packet and serving gateways (P-GW and S-GW), and a policy and charging rules function server (PCRF).
The company claims that WBC 700 portfolio helps operators meet the subscriber demands for mobile broadband by giving them the opportunity to increase revenue while reducing cost per bit.
Evolved Packet Core (EPC) is a new foundation for future mobile broadband that provides a core network to support hosted applications, multimedia content and internet connectivity on the go. According to Motorola, its EPC control and bearer core architecture that includes its MME, gives operators the flexibility, performance and capacity they’ll need to effectively operate their future LTE networks.
The company said that the WBC 700 features a multi-technology gateway platform which serves as both the P-GW and S-GW, and a PCRF that uses a smart approach to policy enforcement to deliver a compelling end-to-end EPC offering.
Fred Gabbard, vice president, product management, wireless networks and home & networks mobility of Motorola said: LTE will be about personal media, with the ability to access all of your content, share it and take it with you wherever you go.
Building upon Motorola’s mobile broadband experience in OFDM network deployments, Motorola’s WBC 700 portfolio completes our end-to-end LTE solution, enabling us to provide a seamless and flexible path to LTE with a high degree of future proofing for the service provider at a reduced cost of ownership.
