Japan : A new 3G LTE Compact EPC ( above ) has been released by NEC. The all in one compact core system ( EPC ) is in fact the world’s smallest for this class. Each EPC can manage over 300K subscribers and interface / control 1000 3G LTE base stations.
The 3G LTE Compact EPC will support smaller 3G LTE network services and trials. It can accommodate larger subscriber numbers by adding larger blade capacity. The Compact EPC is loaded with compact, blade integrated AdvancedTCA, chassis (AdvancedTCA is an industry standard ).
EPC manages 3G LTE base stations and is a core network system. 3G LTE and EPC are being standardized within the framework of 3GPP ( 6 ). The Compact EPC complies with 3GPP standards.
The Compact EPC qualifies for the world's smallest class by incorporating MME(*2) and Serving-GW(*3)/PDN-GW(*4) into an area measuring 483mm(L)x222mm(H)x497mm(D) that fits within the 5U-height of a standard 19-inch rack.
"Our new EPC aims to provide a flexible platform that offers operators a smooth, simple and seamless evolution from their existing networks at the lowest total cost of ownership possible. NEC was the first end to end solution vendor offering EPC in Japan and is contributing to the early momentum of LTE by providing radio access, core and terminal elements of LTE networks” said Dr Shahram Niri, Director of Global LTE/SAE Strategy & Solutions, NEC Europe.
