Abstract
A system and methodology that provides a new a deployment model for a seamless migration to LTE (long term evolution)/EPC (Evolved packet core) is disclosed. In addition, an intelligent edge gateway (IEG) that can support future distributed architecture and a converged network for service providers is provided. Specifically, the model supports existing data services (e.g. UMTS) and the delivery of LTE services does not affect the existing data services. Moreover, a distributed architecture is employed, such that, local traffic is optimally routed at the edge and backhaul is minimized. The system can also provide support for enhanced Femto cell 3GPP access to a home network.
