Flexible deployment Carrier grade Fault tolerance Enhanced QoS management Standards compliance
Carrier Grade: The EPC3000 is designed to meet environmental conditions of operators Network Operation Center. It is built on an industry standard 13U/14-slot ATCA hardware with redundant hot-swappable power supplies. The hardware supports varying degree of redundant configurations to match operators network availability targets. Fault Tolerance: The EPC3000 supports on-chassis redundancy and geographic redundancy configurations. On-chassis redundancy consists of 1+1 redundancy for the control plane and N+1 redundancy for the data plane. This redundancy scheme ensures active sessions are retained for all connected users, while user data lost is kept to a minimum by the load-balancing feature of the data plane traffic, should the chassis experiences a single blade failure. Geographic redundancy consists of a second EPC3000 located in a different geographic location as a backup EPC. Besides hardware redundancy, the EPC3000 supports primary and secondary servers for redundant Home Subscriber Server (HSS) and Policy and Charging Rules Function (PCRF).
Enhanced QoS management: The Policy and Charging Enforcement Function (PCEF) in the EPC3000 enforces Quality of Service (QoS) and manages multiple service flows as directed by the PCRF. This function allows operator to offer differential service levels based on subscriber and application priorities. Such QoS mechanism is extremely important for public safety and mission critical application where network resource is directed to the highest priority users during emergencies. Standards Compliance: The EPC3000 complies with 3GPP standards, allowing the components in the EPC3000 to interwork with other 3GPP compliant LTE eNodeB via the S1 interface, PCRF via the Gx interface and HSS via the S6a interface.
