Description

EPC HaloB is an LTE/4G network core solution embedded directly in the base station (eNodeB) that operates through the activation of software features. Designed to ensure service continuity and stability in LTE networks in a simple, efficient, and cost-effective manner. It allows the cell to operate autonomously by eliminating the transport layer between the EPC (Evolved Packet Core) and the eNodeB, keeping critical control plane signaling local.

By activating Core HaloB, essential LTE core functions such as the MME (Mobility Management Entity), SGW (Serving Gateway), PGW (Packet Data Network Gateway), HSS (Home Subscriber), and PCRF (Policy and Charging Rule Function) remain operational, operating directly on the eNodeB. This eliminates the need for a centralized EPC (Evolved Packet Core) structure, reducing complexity and maintaining critical control plane signaling within the device itself. This means that failures in the wireless return, fiber, or network routing do not impact subscriber connectivity.
