Mobile World Congress 2010 - Stand 8C78

Tecore is proud to showcase its iCore all-IP software-defined core network - capable of supporting 2G GSM and CDMA, 3G UMTS and 4G LTE on a range of scalable hardware platforms - at Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, Hall 8, Stand 8C78 from February 15 to 18. With iCore, mobile operators will have the flexibility of running multiple standards on a single network, allowing them to maximize revenues from legacy services while rolling out next-generation applications. iCore is compliant with the 3GPP and 3GPP2 standards, and optionally provides a Radio Network Controller (RNC), enabling operators to use this platform with other vendors' radio access network equipment.

iCore®: 3G UMSC, HSS and RNC

iCore® - the all-IP software-defined multi-technology core network - has added a 3G Radio Network Controller (RNC). Together with the iCore UMSC and HSS, the RNC enhances support for 3G services and further streamlines the smallest multi-technology network-in-a-box in the industry. This carrier-grade architecture can be delivered on a range of hardware platforms, from ATCA to a complete core on a single blade. Rural and emerging mobile network operators can optimize total cost of ownership by avoiding the expense of separate RNCs, and supporting multi-vendor radio access networks from one core network. By leveraging a compliant solution through scalable software elements, the physical size, price point and system capacity can be scaled to match the requirements of the network. Operators can utilize Tier-1 3G NodeBs with iCore for their RNC and core network elements.

4G LTE Evolved Packet Core

The iCore allows operators to leverage the benefit of IP connectivity in their network, preparing the infrastructure for future LTE evolution. The network components required to upgrade iCore to become an LTE Evolved Packet Core (EPC) are software modules, allowing the transition of the network to 4G without forklift upgrades.

The Mobility Management Entity (MME) and System Architecture Evolution (SAE) Gateway components added to the iCore platform provide the interface and functionality support for LTE access. iCore IMS components facilitate applications across the network infrastructure. The iCore EPC includes compliant interfaces for connectivity with standard eNodeBs and interoperability with other vendors' core network equipment as defined in Release 8 of the specifications, enabling operators to use Tier-1 4G eNodeBs.

Tecore is currently conducting interoperability testing with eNodeB vendors. Interested vendors should contact Tecore.

Rapid Deployment System - Complete Network Operations in Minutes

Tecore's Rapid Deployment System (RDS) is a complete mobile network, including a comprehensive, all-IP core and RAN, supporting 2G and 3G in a transportable case. Operators can deploy it to augment network capacity in overflow situations, and government agencies can utilize it to ensure communications continuity during emergencies.

Key benefits:

• Completely standards-based, allowing use of existing subscriber devices from major commercial operators
• Seamless connectivity and roaming with existing networks
• Supports high-speed wireless data
• Can be enhanced with secure calling, call prioritization, push-to-talk and LMR connectivity
• Operates in standalone, centralized or mesh modes
• Transportable and deployable in under an hour.

iNAC Managed Access - The Superior Alternative to Jamming

The Intelligent Network Access Controller (iNAC) addresses government and large enterprise needs to restrict commercial mobile access in secured zones, without preventing authorized and emergency communications. iNAC has been demonstrated as a preferred method to control contraband cell phones in prisons, where millions of illegal calls are being made from behind bars. This system:

• Implements a targeted RF coverage umbrella
• Is coordinated with commercial network operators
• Allows authorized devices to complete calls and holds calls from other devices
• Complies with regulatory requirements such as emergency calling
• Supports 2G and 3G services.
