Core Network Challenges LTE Vendors

Source: Unstrung
The core network requirements for next-generation Long Term Evolution (LTE) are so demanding that vendors have revamped their products and strategies, Unstrung has found.

As vendors jostle for position to prove they have what it takes in LTE and the Evolved Packet Core (EPC), Ericsson AB is so far the only vendor with more than one operator customer for EPC equipment. TeliaSonera AB and Verizon Wireless have both selected Ericsson, not only for LTE radio access equipment, but also for EPC gear.
