The eCore product series are deployed on the compact hardware platform. Different NE combinations are available for flexible deployment. They support abundant services related to enterprise applications and private industry networks through interconnections with peripheral devices. The services include P2P voice calls, P2P video calls, and trunking calls.
The eCore product series can provide various value-added services and customized supplementary services to meet requirements for enterprise or industry customers, and will unleash its great potential in market segments including the wISP, the MVNO, and the IoT, as well as in areas such as public safety, private industry networks, and enterprise applications.
The eCore series of products are categorized into the following two types based on the hardware platform:
Product based on OSTA5.0 (3U): eCore9300
Product based on OSTA5.0 (1U): eCore9100
Figure 2 shows the networking of the eCore solution. With flexible deployment of different logical NEs, this solution can implement data access, video, trunking communications, and industry-related services. This solution also supports interconnections with devices from other vendors.
Figure 1 and Figure 2 show two types of networking of the eCore solution applied in pure broadband access and broadband trunking scenarios, respectively. With flexible deployment of different logical NEs, this solution can implement data access, video, trunking communications, and industry-related services. This solution also supports interconnections with devices from other vendors.

The eCore solution involves service NEs, such as the CloudUSN and CloudUGW. These NEs implement the pure broadband access and trunking functions.
CloudUSN
The CloudUSN performs control-plane mobility management, including managing UE contexts and mobility and assigning temporary mobile subscriber identities. The CloudUSN is also built with the HSS function for managing the subscription data and location information of the UEs. The CloudUSN can be regarded as the controller of the LTE network for intra-system updates and handovers and inter-system interoperability.
CloudUGW
The CloudUGW includes the S-GW, P-GW, and MBMS GW.
The S-GW is a user-plane anchor for multiple access networks in 3GPP, and responsible for user-plane data exchange during UE movement between different access systems, screening interfaces of different access networks in 3GPP. The S-GW fulfills gateway functions of the EPC. It terminates interfaces towards the E-UTRAN.
The P-GW is a user-plane anchor between the 3GPP access network and non-3GPP access network. The P-GW connects to the external PDN servers and fulfills gateway functions of the EPC. It terminates the SGi interface connected to the PDN server. A UE can access multiple PDN services through different P-GWs.
The MBMS GW is responsible for transmitting MBMS session control messages to the MME, and forwarding MBMS data to the eNodeB. The MBMS GW can be co-deployed with the P-GW.
