More than 150 service providers in over 60 countries around the world have announced plans to invest in Long Term Evolution (LTE) networks, with more than 100 network deployment commitments. In addition, industry verticals such as government, public safety, and utilities are planning to deploy LTE networks to meet specialized enterprise mobility requirements.
The award-winning Amdocs EPC 500 is an integrated LTE system that provides best-of-breed subscriber and device data management, and policy control functions for the LTE Evolved Packet Core (EPC).
Specifically designed to support LTE lab trials, field trials, and small- to medium-scale commercial deployments, the EPC 500 features the Amdocs Home Subscriber Server (HSS) and Amdocs Policy Controller (PCRF), anchored by Amdocs' Subscriber Data Broker. These proven Bridgewater products are pre-integrated on a single carrier-grade platform, creating an easy-to-deploy LTE system.
As a vendor-agnostic solution, the EPC 500 system offers standards-based interfaces to enable end-to-end interoperability testing. The system can be deployed in a matter of days to support a range of functions such as subscriber and service modeling, roaming, and quality of service (QoS) management.
