Converged Wireless Base Stations Hardware Platforms Today the wireless infrastructure consists of a variety of different technologies such as 3G, EVDO, HSDPA and WiMax. These wireless technologies are based upon different base-station architectures and distinctive transport links such as ATM, SONET and IP. Moving forward, next generation wireless technology called LTE is uniting the fragmented wireless network into a common base-station hardware platform that uses a common IP-based transport link with security using the IPsec protocol. The backend networks behind base-stations are converging into a single access gateway (AGW) before connecting to the core Internet or existing PSTN telephone networks. With 4G deployment on the horizon, wireless communication equipment vendors are looking to build scalable hardware platforms that support today's wireless standards and at the same time can be upgraded via software to support the next generation LTE, UMB (Ultra Mobile Broadband), or WiMAX.standard.
