• Vendors Analysis
• Market Analysis
Technology Basis
• The EPC was introduced in the R8 of 3GPP in 2009 and is constantly being improved currently in Rel 11 -not frozen-
• The general Architecture and names of each interfaces changed
• Real All-IP Solution the Voice is a service of IMS
• Improvements in the Access from the Radio point of view speeds upto 300 Mbps DL
• The architecture of the RAN simplified with a single -eNodeB-
• Completely Separated control plane and data plane allow better QoS Management
