Current State of the Art in PLTE Core Switching

In the early days of private LTE the only choices for Enhanced Packet Core (the central switch in an LTE system) were those provided by the large manufacturers serving Carrier needs - and they had the wealth of features and incredible capacity for both base stations and subscriber equipment that Carriers required. And a price to match - costing tens of millions to over one hundred million dollars.

This presentation will explore the emerging middle market for Core Switches, the features and functions they support, and their effect on the large manufacturers to downsize their own Core offerings. We will also explore the typical Utility need set and how that need set maps to requirements for the Core.
