Network operator Telstra is planning to deploy the Ericsson SSR node running the EPG application to support its wireless core network.
The SSR 8020 can perform different functions related to the handling of IP packet data in carrier networks.
EPG is a specific application of the SSR which supports 2G, 3G and 4G mobile networks and their demand for mobile broadband services.
The EPG on SSR 8020 enables network operators to meet the requirements of next-generation networks and its Triple Access Core capabilities enable the SSR to service data demand from 2G, 3G and 4G networks simultaneously on the same core network nodes.
Ericsson Australia & New Zealand head Håkan Eriksson said his next evolution of Ericsson Smart Services Routers enables complete network convergence so subscribers can access services from any device fixed or mobile.
