FAQ
What is IPLOOK’s Compact EPC (IKEPC500 Series)?
IPLOOK’s Compact EPC is an all-in-one LTE core network solution that integrates MME, SGW, PGW, HSS, PCRF, IMS, and DRA into a single X86 COTS platform. Designed for simplified deployment and operations, it provides a compact and cost-effective EPC solution for operators, enterprises, and private LTE networks.
What deployment scenarios does the IKEPC500 series support?
The IKEPC500 series supports centralized and edge deployments, as well as local and cloud-based architectures. It can be deployed in data centers, enterprise environments, campus networks, and remote edge locations, enabling flexible network design based on operational requirements.
What are the differences between IKEPC 510 and IKEPC 520?
IKEPC 510 is optimized for smaller deployments, supporting up to 200 eNodeBs, 10,000 UEs, and throughput up to 600 Mbps on a 1U server platform.
IKEPC 520 is designed for larger-scale deployments, supporting up to 500 eNodeBs, 20,000 UEs, and throughput up to 6 Gbps on a 2U server platform.
Which use cases are best suited for the Compact EPC solution?
The IKEPC500 series is ideal for Wireless Internet Service Providers (WISP), CBRS deployments, private LTE networks, enterprise connectivity, campus coverage, and regional telecom operators that require a compact, easy-to-manage LTE core solution.
How does the all-in-one architecture benefit operators and enterprises?
By integrating multiple EPC and IMS functions into a single platform, the solution reduces hardware requirements, simplifies network integration, lowers operational complexity, and accelerates deployment timelines. The unified EMS also streamlines monitoring, maintenance, and network management.
Does the solution support VoLTE and roaming services?
Yes. The IKEPC500 series supports VoLTE voice, video, SMS services, and roaming functions between operators. This allows service providers to deliver carrier-grade communication services while maintaining interoperability with external networks.
How does IPLOOK ensure reliability and high availability?
The solution provides carrier-grade reliability with 99.999% availability and supports active/standby or active/active redundancy deployment models. This minimizes downtime and ensures continuous service availability for mission-critical network environments.
Can the Compact EPC integrate with third-party network equipment?
Yes. The IKEPC500 series interoperates with various third-party eNodeB vendors and supports standard 3GPP interfaces. It also supports flexible hardware configurations across multiple COTS server manufacturers, allowing operators to avoid vendor lock-in and optimize infrastructure investments.
