The Alcatel-Lucent 5060 Wireless Call Server (WCS) provides the call-control and signaling functionality that is central to the Alcatel-Lucent distributed-switching solution for mobile networks. Designed specically for Third-Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) R4/R5/R6-compliant architectures, the Alcatel-Lucent 5060 WCS signicantly improves network capacity, simplicity and operational efciency.
With its unique approach to building a massively scalable call-processing system, the carrier-grade, field-proven Alcatel-Lucent 5060 WCS architecture supports an industry-leading capacity per footprint density ratio and can directly support up to 128 media gateways (MGWs). Available for deployment in todays Second Gen eration and Third-Generation mobile networks (2G/2.5G/3G), the AlcatelLucent 5060 WCS supports evolution to the all-IP network, IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) as a Media Gateway Control Function (MGCF) and to Long Term Evolution (LTE).
(ATCA) the selected technology for all Alcatel-Lucent common call- and session-control platforms the ATCA High Capacity (HC) Alcatel-Lucent 5060 WCS delivers dramatic capacity improvements and cost savingscompared to the previous generation of ATCA platforms.
