As a mobile operator, the mobile broadband network that you built has forever changed the way that your customers work, live, play, and learn, and has become part of the very fabric of their everyday lives. However, data traffic continues to grow exponentially, and regular network modifications are required to keep customers happy. At the same time, revenues are increasingly under pressure. A flexible network is one that can adapt to frequently changing business models, with the ability to make in-network design modifications without huge capital expenditures. With all these factors, mobile operators need a mobile packet core solution that they can count on - one that provides efficient evolution to 4G technology and small cells.
Operators must plan for the normal of the mobile Internet - elastic, flexible, virtual. This means being able to harness the right resources (intelligent performance) when you need them - instantaneously. This ultimate normal starts with the intelligent performance of the Cisco ASR 5500 multimedia core platform. Cisco ASR 5500 sets a different standard for intelligent performance that redefines the economics of the packet core. It is the first mobile platform designed for terabit performance that scales to tens of millions of sessions, and supports the transaction rates required to address the signaling surge.
