Gateway Function - DeComposition

Transforming GW Function in NFV, helps to decompose the GW Layer's Control and User Plane. The aim is to make the User Plane to be handled by simple infra than a stringent mobility gateway node.

A CAPEX saving opportunity is always good to adopt.

Like to find whether it is a vendor specific initiative or is it part of any existing 3GPP / ongoing proposal ?

A detailed take on GW Decomposition....

The basic concept :-

Telco Cloud : Hardware - Trends

Will post the industry trends, available products like HP,Dell, E///'s HDS, Cisco's UCS

SK-Telecom is developing some of the Cloud Infra. They are deploying these solutions in their network. There can be some more improvised products on the way..lets wait and watch.

May be they have the intention to develop their own HW platform.

The need for this strategic step is explained in following picture in terms of the key requirements !!
