
Separation of call control and connectivity/bearer control
Flexible architecture that is possible to use for any connectivity (ATM, IP, STM)
Keep the N-ISDN/GSM service paradigm. Use MAP, ISUP, etc.
All devices needed for user plane manipulation are moved to the Media Gateway
(echo cancellers, codecs, etc.)
Possible to place infrequently used equipment in centralized resource nodes
Transmission efficient to have coded speech all the way to the rim of the PLMN
UTRAN and the Iu interface is ATM based. A good way to bring in ATM in the core
network is needed
Allows stable and mature introduction of UMTS networks since building on GSM
products
New protocol to control media gateway remotely
Services/applications outside core network enables service convergence
In line with standardization trends

Summary
 Ericsson offers via the layered architecture an evolutionary approach to
the multi-service network
 Ericsson offers deployment of ATM & IP-based transport technologies
for both UMTS and GSM/GPRS based on open standards.
 A Media Gateway product is introduced handling all user plane data in an
integrated way and that connects to ATM & IP backbones
 New network architecture will be included in release 00 of 3GPP
