Alcatel-Lucent evolved packet core solution

This white paper provides an overview of Alcatel-Lucent’s perspective on evolved packet core and how Alcatel-Lucent is addressing radically new requirements imposed on data and control planes in LTE.

With unprecedented amounts of bandwidth to be unleashed in the data plane for new services, LTE-focused architecture is needed to ensure end-to-end QoS, reliability and scalability, as well as to provide service awareness of data flows with per-service, per-subscriber, per-application QoS.
