A cell site gateway is a key component in a cellular network that connects cell sites to the operator’s core network. It enables communication, handles protocol conversion, routes traffic, provides security, and allows for network management. A disaggregated cell site gateway offers flexibility, cost efficiency, faster innovation, simplified management, and improved interoperability. It provides mobile operators with greater control over their network infrastructure, enabling them to optimize performance, reduce costs, and adapt to evolving technology standards and market demands.
In addition to mobile traffic a DCSG can handle fixed network traffic. By using a single gateway for both cellular and fixed networks, operators can streamline their network infrastructure, reduce costs, and simplify management and operations. This enables them to provide integrated services and seamless connectivity for both mobile and fixed network users.
