Connectivity Packet Platform in the GSM/WCDMA Network

Abstract

The telecommunications community is migrating toward a new network architecture based on horizontal layers. The separation of the network functionality into independent layers is a key principle in modern networking in the tele- and datacom industry today. The layered thinking is also a very fundamental and visible aspect in a number of standardization initiatives and industry forums, such as the multiservices switching forum, led by several of the largest operators and manufacturers. This paper presents the short overview of connectivity packet platform as a carrier-class technology that has been positioned for access and transport products in mobile and fixed networks based on layered design
