Ericsson has introduced an application to run on its IP networking Smart Services Router (SSR) 8000 family application that can reportedly handle more mobile data traffic than any other mobile packet gateway on the market.
The Evolved Packet Gateway application is designed to be used with the SSR 8020 and introduces network intelligence that enables operators to offer diverse applications and choice in devices.
The new release enables operators to serve active mobile subscribers who drive traffic growth with their smartphones and tablets and employs the application software that has been used in the GGSN-MPG.
Ericsson IP and Broadband head Jan Häglund said by deploying the Evolved Packet Gateway on the SSR 8020, Ericsson lifts the capacity boundaries for throughput, signalling and applications that are so often a topic of discussion in the industry.
