ASN Gateway

A critical component of any Mobile WiMAX network is the ASN Gateway, which aggregates subscriber and control traffic from base stations within an access network. Situated at the heart of the access network, the ASN Gateway plays an important role in subscriber management, network optimization, and forwarding of all subscriber traffic. The ASN Gateway function enables service providers to deploy highly scalable mobile broadband networks, and provides an opportunity for delivering advanced features to enable differentiated service offerings.
