Event Summary
June 5, 2012 – Cisco announced the ASR 5500 mobile packet core platform. Th
e ASR 5500
maintains the ASR 5000’s support for in-line services, policy control and resource fl exibility
across access technologies and control vs. data plane. What’s more, support is maintained
for diverse gateway functionalities (SGW/PGW, GGSN, MME/SGSN, PDSN/HA). Cisco
claims scalability, however, has been improved to support terabit performance and a ten-fold
architectural increase in transaction processing and sessions.
