SmartCore Platforms
The availability of new types of multimedia content and applications through the Internet and the need to stay connected are creating an increased demand for multimedia-capable 4G networks. Users want to be able to carry the richness of the Internet in their pockets, to stay informed and to collaborate through multimedia-capable applications, whenever they want and wherever they are.  However, rich wireless data comes with its own challenges, as ARPU through traditional billing mechanisms is not expected to be in proportion to consumer appetite for data services, multimedia content and multicast video.

To handle this challenge, service providers need a smarter wireless core for IP-based 4G networks that can learn from content at line speed and apply that knowledge to selectively adapt the network, enable new revenue-generating opportunities and dynamically optimize both the network and services. Service providers also need the flexibility to enable new services rapidly. WiChorus SmartCore™ platforms enable such intelligent networks and services.

WiChorus SmartCore platforms are designed to accommodate a rich set of content handling and control-path functionality with maximum performance, minimum latency and massive scalability. To achieve this, WiChorus SmartCore platforms employ a combination of processing elements and hardware engines carefully designed for the specific tasks and intelligence needed at all levels of functionality. Hundreds of these processing elements and hardware engines collaborating in a fully loaded large system, combined with highly distributed and modular software design, enable the massive processing and learning capabilities of SmartCore platforms. SmartCore future proofs the mobile core for advances in 4G technologies.
