Description
ASN Gateway is the ideal subscriber mobility access gateway for IEEE 802.16e Mobile WiMAX radio access networks.
The ASN Gateway is designed to support connection management and mobility across cell sites and inter-service
provider network boundaries through processing of subscriber control and bearer data traffic. The ASN Gateway serves
as the Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP) authenticator for subscriber identity and acts as a RADIUS client to the
operator‘s AAA servers.

operator‘s AAA servers.
ASN Gateway is a high capacity platform with the flexibility for small and large networks and can scale without
changing or adding additional chassis. The system simplifies the network by reducing the required number of devices
under management and minimizes connection set-up latency by reducing the number of call hand-offs in the network.

The ASN Gateway can be integrated with a Home Agent (HA), Gateway GPRS Support Node (GGSN), or WiFi Packet
Data Interworking Function (PDIF) for seamless mobility between Mobile WiMAX, 1xEV-DO, W-CDMA/UMTS, and
WiFi networks. The integration of multiple access gateway functions promotes network simplification, streamlines
network management, provides service ubiquity with no impact on the access network being utilized, and reduces
capital and operational expenses.
