LTE Small Cell Gateway

(HeNB Gateway)
Data Offload / Local Breakout

Interest in femtocells (or small cells) started in 2002, but it was not until 2007 that the idea began to gain momentum with the promise to significantly improve indoor cellular coverage and increase available bandwidth while enabling operators to offer additional services and lower prices. And over the years service providers have launched a number of trials and commercial deployments. And as operators migrate their networks over to Long Term Evolution (LTE), the importance of coverage and capacity is only highlighted. Small cells are a cost-effective solution for filling any gaps in coverage and quickly increasing capacity in high-density, high-traffic areas (such as airports, hotels and business/commercial centers). At the same time, small cells bring a number of challenges, such as security vulnerabilities, the need to aggregate traffic from a large number of mini basestations, provisioning and maintaining basestations deployed in a wide area.

Traffic Offload
The NewGrid HeNB GW supports Selected IP Traffic Offload (SIPTO), offering operators a way to offload user traffic away from the LTE core, helping reducing the amount of traffic load across the core network.

Performance and Hardware

The HeNB GW is a high performance solution, offering dedicated security processors that offer up to 30 Gbps of packet processing per blade. Available in a variety of standards-based AdvancedTCA (ATCA) chassis, the SP Series can seamless scale up to 180 Gbps of throughput. As a NEBS3 compliant solution, it offers a fully redundant architecture assuring no single point of failure and enabling five nines (99.999%) high availability. And since every critical component is hot-swappable, operators are guaranteed uninterrupted service.

Summary
The NewGrid LTE HeNB Gateway is the ideal solution for operators seeking a cost-effective solution to seamlessly integrate their LTE small cell network deployments with their core network.
