Integrated Network Controller (INC) for Rapid, Highly Scalable, Network Deployment

As a small, low-cost, rack mountable unit, the INC integrates the functions of the UMTS Radio Network Controller, the Serving GPRS Support Node and other higher level functions. It provides a Layer 3 TCP/IP connection to the Internet or private data network. The INC currently supports up to 6 No de B’s, and can be co - located with Node B equipment at a base station site, or housed at a central location supporting multiple base station sites.

Protocols
On the gateway network side of the INC, standard Internet protocols are used, allowing the connectivity to a network of multiple INC’s to be provided by an IP Router, ATM switch or other similar equipment. All supporting systems (including the Element Manager and other management systems), as well as the Home Location Register, communicate with the access network elements using standard IP protocols, allowing flexibility in the location and network connectivity of these systems.

For existing UMTS operators, an alternate architecture integrates with common UMTS/GPRS core network.

Network Controller Platform
The INC uses a fault tolerant operating system, and is configured using a Compact PCI rack (19", 4 RU high) with NEBS compliance. Interface standards supported include T1, T3, E1, E3 and 100Base-T.
