STOCKHOLM, SWEDEN — (Marketwire) — 02/26/12 —
* Ericsson Evolved Packet Gateway (EPG) application has higher capacity
than
any other mobile packet gateway on the market
* Introduces network intelligence to effectively manage mobile data
traffic
growth, while allowing operators to offer diverse applications and
choice in
devices.
* Combines the latest technology of the SSR 8020 platform with software
used
in the market-leading GGSN-MPG packet gateway
Ericsson (NASDAQ: ERIC) is today launching an application to run on its IP
networking Smart Services Router (SSR) 8000 family offering that can handle
more
mobile data traffic than any other mobile packet gateway on the market.
The Evolved Packet Gateway application, designed to be used with the SSR
8020,
offers an order of magnitude higher capacity than the nearest competitor.
The
SSR 8000 family of Smart Services Routers is the next generation platform
from
Ericsson.
Over the top (OTT) cloud-based services will continue to drive mobile
broadband
traffic in networks. This leaves operators looking for smart and
cost-effective
solutions to meet the challenges of rapid growth in data traffic and to
create
new business opportunities.
With the Evolved Packet Gateway on SSR 8020, operators can attract and
efficiently serve active mobile subscribers who drive traffic growth with
their
smartphones and tablets. It introduces network intelligence that enables
operators to offer an unparalleled diversity of applications and choice in
devices.
Ericsson-s new Evolved Packet Gateway employs the application software that
has
successfully been used in the GGSN-MPG, operating in 240 networks in 130
countries, serving billions of subscribers. Working on the SSR 8020,
capacity
increases more than ten-fold and brings the same intelligence, without risk
of
teething problems.
Jan Häglund, head of IP and Broadband, Ericsson says: “By deploying
the Evolved
Packet Gateway on the SSR 8020, we effectively lift the capacity boundaries
for
throughput, signaling and applications that are so often a topic of
discussion
in the industry. With this innovative solution, we leapfrog anything the
competition can offer and warrant our market leadership.”
With 40% of market share, Ericsson currently holds the leading position in
the
packet core network domain.
