SMEC's LTE Small Cell Gateway, a high-performance LTE gateway solution, effectively aggregates control and user traffic from numerous small cells (small base stations) and securely delivers it to the service provider's core network through IPsec tunnels—an integrated security gateway function. Equipped with a dedicated security processor, the solution delivers high throughput while providing outstanding scalability based on ATCA and COTS platforms.
