Description
Small EPC is an Evolved Packet Core (EPC) providing packet switched services and voice services over LTE. Small EPC can cost-effectively scale down to support the very smallest networks, making it suitable for deployment on small islands, or as a remotely located rural network extension. Small EPC can be deployed at the network edge, in enterprises, industrial verticals such as oil & gas and in mines.
High-quality software and a small footprint executable make Small EPC well suited to deployment in embedded applications such as backpacks, vehicles and drones. Embedded applications are of particular use where there is a requirement for portability in the solution itself and typical uses include emergency service first responders, government and the military, search and rescue.
Small EPC software processes support standard 3GPP interfaces and are interoperable with the products of other vendors.
These software processes can also be distributed in a number of different ways:
- A single instantiation, centrally located in a data center
- Separate instantiations, distributed remotely
- A hybrid model, in which some processes are located centrally and others are distributed remotely
Small EPC has been created as a forward-looking packet switching product. By eliminating the burden of support for legacy 2G and 3G functionality, Small EPC is designed and implemented to maximise performance and simplify the introduction of 4G functionality. A state of the art approach to development and a focus on specific use cases all combine to make Small EPC very compact and capable of being run in very low-end computers.
Small EPC is implemented as distinct Linux applications, maximising deployment flexibility. These applications can be deployed directly on the bare metal of a standalone COTS server. This COTS server could be located remotely, in an enterprise, or could be deployed in a data centre, or in the Cloud. Small EPC can also be embedded directly onto a spare processor core on a radio chip. It can also be deployed in a Docker Container, contributing to a more comprehensive NFV solution.
Small EPC software can provide unlimited support for UEs and eNodeBs, but the capabilities of the hardware platform also define capacity. When deployed on a COTS server, Small EPC software running on a smaller, less capable server, will be able to support less capacity than software running on a larger server. When embedded in an eNodeB,Small EPC provides support for a single physical eNodeB. The number of UEs supported will be defined by the capabilities of the eNodeB hardware.
Capabilities supported by Small EPC include:
- PS data
- Optional internal HSS
- Synchronisation between centralised (master) and distributed (slave) HSS processes
- Intra-MME handover
- Multiple eNodeBs
- Web-based management
- NITZ support
- IoT
- Cell Broadcast
- MONeH
- Network Slicing
- Voice over LTE (VoLTE)
- IPv4 and IPv6
