Bangalore: Motorola's Home & Networks Mobility business has launched Long Term Evolution (LTE) Evolved Packet Core Solution- the Wireless Broadband Core (WBC) 700 portfolio. The Motorola WBC 700 solution comprises Motorola's mobility management entity (MME), packet and serving gateways (P-GW and S-GW), and a policy and charging rules function server (PCRF). The WBC 700 which is scheduled to be released in late 2009 helps operators meet the rapid growth in subscriber demands for mobile broadband, giving them the opportunity to increase revenue. The EBC is a new foundation for next generation mobile broadband that provides a core network to support hosted applications, multimedia content and high speed internet connectivity on the go. "LTE will be about personal media, with the ability to access all of your content, share it and take it with you wherever you go," said Fred Gabbard, Vice President, product management, Wireless Networks, Home & Networks Mobility. "Building upon Motorola's mobile broadband experience in OFDM network deployments, Motorola's WBC 700 portfolio completes our end-to-end LTE solution, enabling us to provide a seamless and flexible path to LTE with a high degree of future proofing for the service provider at a reduced cost of ownership." Motorola's WBC 700 solution also features a purpose-built intelligent multi-technology gateway platform which serves as both the P-GW and S-GW, and a PCRF that uses a smart approach to policy enforcement to deliver a compelling end-to-end EPC solution.
