Mobility Management Entity(MME) is a key component of the standards-defined Evolved Pack Core (EPC) for LTE. It provides mobility session management for the LTE network and supports subscriber authentication, roaming and handovers to other networks.
IPLOOK's Virtualized MME
Fully standards-compliant MME in service in many operator networks around the globe
The IPLOOK's vMME is a fully standards-compliant core network product and has been integrated with the hardware and software of all telecom suppliers. It is the control plane node of EPC and deals with the signaling plane and completes the authentication with HSS.
Our Carrier Grade MME adopts COTS server as the platform. The MME function can be NFV element and deployed in the data center environment. The MME application can also be directly deployed in a server to make full use of the hardware capability.

IPLOOK's compact EPC also called "IKEPC500 series", it combines MME, SGW, PGW, HSS, PCRF, IMS and DRA network elements in one X86 COTS platform what are 100% 3GPP compliant, and each of them can support all standard interfaces defined by 3GPP.
The IKEPC500 series consists of IKEPC 510 and IKEPC 520, using a unified EMS (Element Management System) to
reduce OPEX.
The IKEPC500 series can also be deployed in a centralized cloud or at the network edge, allowing a broad range of deployment scenarios.
A Home Subscriber Server(HSS) / Home Subscriber Register(HLR) serves as the primary database repository of subscriber information within a LTE/EPC or IMS network core. By centralising all the subscriber information in a single place it allows the signalling to be separated from policy providing a stream lined, high performing network.
SGW(Serving Gateway)
The SGW node handles the user data traffic, but isn' t responsible for the signaling data used. It transports IP data from UE's to the LTE Core Network. The SGW also routes incoming and outgoing IP packets for better system collaboration and serves as an anchor for the UE when it moves from one eNodeB to another.
PGW (PDN Gateway)
PGW is the network node that connects the EPC to external IP networks. What the PGW does is that it routes packets to and from external IP networks. Beyond that, it also allocates an IP address to all UEs and enforces different policies regarding IP user traffic such as packet filtering.
Policy and Charging Rules Function (PCRF), is the part of the Evolved Packet Core (EPC) that supports service data flow detection, policy enforcement and flow-based charging. It offers a comprehensive solution that enables a new generation service provider to offer multiple use cases that allow them to better control their services and align their revenue with their resources.
VoWiFi (Voice over Wi-Fi) enables users to make crystal-clear, reliable voice calls over Wi-Fi—even in areas with poor or no cellular coverage. Our advanced VoWiFi solution seamlessly integrates with IMS platforms and features rapid deployment, HD voice, and intelligent handover between Wi-Fi and cellular networks.
Tailored for operators aiming to improve indoor coverage, reduce international roaming costs, and boost customer satisfaction, the system supports a wide range of terminals and diverse network environments. It empowers service providers to build smarter, more flexible communication infrastructures and deliver superior user experiences.
The ePDG (Evolved Packet Data Gateway) is a key component in the LTE core network, primarily used to support the security, compatibility, and high-quality service transmission for access to the LTE network via untrusted non-3GPP access (such as Wi-Fi). The ePDG ensures encrypted transmission of user data by establishing IPSec tunnels, providing a solid guarantee for operators to achieve Wi-Fi and LTE network convergence, enhance user experience, and facilitate traffic offload.
