maximum deployment flexibility. Finally, by using a pre-integrated ATCA platform, developers can save time and resources that would otherwise be spent on compo- nent integration and testing.
Pairing high performance firewall and IPsec tunneling One example of a high-performance security gateway purpose-built for LTE deployments is the LTE SEG from RadiSys (see Figure 2). Recognizing TEMs’ need for a packaged, rapidly deployable carrier grade security solu- tion, RadiSys developed the industry’s first 3GPP NDS compliant security gate- way to enable both high performance firewall and IPsec tunneling in a single carrier grade solution. The LTE SEG enables security in the wireless infra- structure and improves performance more than 5x in secure tunneling over current solutions. Developed based on an ATCA architecture, the RadiSys LTE SEG can be deployed as a standalone network element or easily integrated as a turnkey blade solution into existing TEM products. This lowers both OPEX and CAPEX for mobile operators while addressing the security challenges of an all-IP network.
As operators make this transition, it is important that they take into consid- eration the scope of security threats introduced by an all-IP architecture. Integrating an ATCA-based LTE security gateway allows network operators to protect their networks against an array of security threats while also providing immediate performance enhancements for wireless offloading. Whether opera- tors choose to move directly to LTE or enhance their current 2G/3G networks with wireless offload applications, using a turnkey security gateway that can be easily integrated will allow network operators to make new network rollouts secure from the outset.
