EPC & Remote Gateway.
Star Solutions, a leader in supplying innovative cellular network infrastructure equipment, is now providing this same technology to WISPs. The Sonata EPC platform, designed and developed for mobile network operators, is now deployed at multiple fixed wireless network operator locations. Wireless Internet Service Providers can now leverage the availability of LTE and 5G products to reach broadband Internet customers in unserved and underserved markets.
The solution is marketed as the Sonata EPC, geared towards enabling WISPs to deploy 4G LTE networks using an easy to deploy, scalable and high performance platform. The Sonata EPC can be delivered as a premise based solution or virtualized in operator or cloud-based data centers. Customers have the ability to connect their own base stations from any vendor supporting standards based interfaces. The platform can be deployed across distributed network architecture enabling operators to optimize the network transport costs across multiple locations. This type of network flexibility allows WISPs to quickly scale their growth and provide new cost-effective services.
The Sonata EPC is 5G ready and offers a smooth migration to support 5G network architecture. As a software based solution, it can also be deployed with Star Solutions network-in-box products enabling all-in-one stand-alone networks to be easily deployed.
