MOBILE PACKET CORE

PGW (Packet Data Network Gateway for LTE/5G & MVNOs)

3GPP compliant Packet Gateway terminating S5/S8 GTP tunnels, allocating mobile subscriber IP addresses, and enforcing QoS/Charging.

STINGRAY ECOSYSTEM Deployable on Bare-Metal & NFV

Engineered for Line-Rate Carrier Scale

The anchor node of the 4G LTE Evolved Packet Core (EPC) and 5G non-standalone network. PGW manages data connectivity between mobile user equipment (UE) and external packet data networks (Internet, IMS, mVAS VAS platforms), executing real-time policy rules.

CARRIER BENCHMARK
3GPP R16

Carrier-Grade EPC/5G NSA Core Interoperability

Hardware Portability:
Operates on standard COTS servers (Intel Xeon / AMD EPYC), bypassing Linux kernel latency via DPDK user-space drivers.
