ASIA : NEC's Advanced Packet Core Node with Advanced TCA(R) Architecture Brings A New Era and More Benefits for Mobile Operators -Over 100 Systems are in Commercial Operations.

Inset is the Advanced TCA (ATCA).

NEC Corp is accelerating the delivery of its Advanced TCA(R) (ATCA) based packet core node to bring a new era and more benefits for mobile operators. After its first commercial shipmentin September 2003, the number of shipments of the SGSN and GGSN (*) for mobile telephone operators exceeded over 100 systems. The systems in commercial operations process rapidly growing internet traffic for applications such as packetized voice and video, as well as new services like on-line gaming over the 3G Mobile PacketNetwork. (*) SGSN: Serving GPRS Support Node GGSN: Gateway GPRS Support Node

NEC introduced the world's first working model of an ATCA based commercial wireless network equipment using Intel(R) Xeon(tm) processors in September 2003. ATCA is the world standard for the basic architecture of the next-generation highly advanced telecom platform set by PICMG (PCI Industrial Computer Manufacturers Group) Forum. On the ATCA architecture, the new platform also employs MontaVista carrier-grade Linux(*)and NEC's middleware. NEC's middleware boasts high carrier-grade reliability and capabilities, backed by its long-standing experience and know-how in public network systems.

The new platform was created to achieve a short-term development period and reduce development costs by utilizing open software/hardware. This new platform realizes rich services for carriers with carrier-grade reliability, easy operation, and high cost performance.
