Frequently Asked Questions
What is a GGSN/SGSN/PGW Data Plane?
These are core components of a mobile network's packet core. The GGSN acts as the gateway to external IP networks, the SGSN manages mobility and session management for GPRS/UMTS, and the PGW serves as the anchor point for data sessions in LTE/5G networks. The data plane handles the actual transmission of user data.
What does the '10K Sessions' refer to?
This indicates the licensed capacity for concurrent user sessions that the data plane software is authorized to handle. It is a key metric for network performance and scalability.
Is this a perpetual license or a subscription?
This is a subscription-based license, meaning you pay a recurring fee for access to the software and its features for a defined term.
