Femtocell Gateway

3G & LTE Femto Reference Designs for Fast Time-to-Market
Common Trillium Software Across FAP & FGW

The Trillium 3G & LTE Femtocell Gateway is the market’s most comprehensive, deployment-ready, standards-based solution for Femtocell, Picocell and Microcell requirements.

High-Level Femtocell Gateway Network Architecture

Continuous Computing’s Trillium Femtocell Gateway offering leverages industry-leading Trillium Femtocell, Picocell and Microcell software coupled with the company’s FlexTCA integrated ATCA platform to deliver a distributed fault-tolerant, high-availability, scalable small cell solution. It includes:

Femtocell gateway reference application that performs signaling and data aggregation
Integrated protocol stacks for 3G or LTE applications
Integrated SCTP fast path that scales signaling throughput to over1,000,000 packets per second and 64K sessions
Integrated eGTP fast path that scales data throughput from 5Gbps to 80Gbps
Service Availability Forum (SAF)-compliant High Availability middleware
Multi-threaded software optimized for multi-core & multi-processor platforms

Furthermore, the Trillium Core Network Emulator (CNE) software provides a convenient and easy-to-use test tool for exercising the Femtocell Gateway while in the product development phase. The CNE uses Trillium protocol stacks integrated with core network element reference applications to emulate a 3G or LTE network. The CNE, which is an easy-to-use binary software product that runs on a Linux PC, connects the Femtocell Gateway to a simulated core network, enabling test calls to be made.

The Trillium Femtocell Access Point (FAP), Picocell, Microcell reference application and platform is a convenient tool for connecting the Femtocell Gateway to a FAP. When combined with the CNE, it provides complete reference network and facilitates rapid product development.
