LG U+ Modernizes Network to Offer New Enterprise Services with Cloud-Native Solutions from Casa Systems
21 April 2023 - 2:00AM
Casa Systems (Nasdaq: CASA) today announced that LG U+ selected its
virtualized Home eNodeB Gateway solution to help the South Korean
operator modernize its network infrastructure and unlock new
services and revenue streams as part of its broader network and
service strategy. Casa Systems worked with distribution partner,
E-Tech System, a leading provider of IT infrastructure and Mobile
solutions and services in South Korea.
With nearly 20 million subscribers on wired and wireless
services, LG U+ is one of the largest mobile operators in South
Korea with a clear focus on differentiating through modern network
infrastructure and advanced services. Featuring operational
simplicity and the ability to quickly add new node deployment, Casa
Systems’ virtualized HeNB-GW and SeGW solution will enable LG U+ to
simplify its network, improve the 4G service coverage and service
quality, and more easily capitalize on the growing market
opportunity.
“We believe that the next generation of network services will be
transformational for small and medium businesses and enterprise
customers through new reach, performance, and capabilities. LG U+
will keep investment into small cells teaming up with Casa Systems
and E-Tech System. The virtualized solution of Casa’s HeNB-GW and
SeGW has the advantage of providing operational agility by
requiring less space and power,” said Jonghyuk Lee, Access Team
Leader at LG U+.
Based in South Korea, E-Tech System provides optimized IT
solutions and professional technical services designed to improve
the competitiveness and value of customers’ businesses. The company
has expertise with a wide range of network hardware and software
vendors and recognized that Casa Systems’ innovative software
design addressed both the service flexibility and network
operational requirements of LG U+. Casa Systems and E-Tech System
are working on new opportunities to serve operators in the region
and expect the LG U+ deployment to be the first of many
engagements.
“LG U+ is at the forefront of deploying 4G and 5G mobile
services, so we are excited to support their strategy with our
network expertise and professional services,” said Mr. Shin Ho-Sik,
Head of Network Service Provider ARM at E-Tech System. “Since so
many of the solutions on the market are still tied to legacy
chassis-based architectures and network designs, this collaboration
with LG U+ proves Casa Systems’ virtualized HeNB-GW solutions to
the market - an important milestone for Casa Systems and E-Tech
System. Casa Systems has a robust portfolio of virtualized,
cloud-native solutions for mobile core and RAN services. We see
tremendous opportunity for operators in our markets to leverage
Casa Systems’ solutions and deliver new advanced services and
solutions to their customers.”
With Casa Systems’ virtualized HeNB-GW, LG U+ will handle the
aggregation of the control and user plane traffic between large
clusters of small cells and the core network while the SeGW
provides secure connectivity with full visibility into performance
and flexible, multi-vendor support.
"As LG U+ looked to scale the reach, performance and security of
its corporate services, it recognized the value of Casa Systems’
fully virtualized HeNB GW and SeGW solution featuring unmatched
performance from a small footprint, enabling them to
cost-effectively scale services,” said Gibson Ang, Vice President
of Technology at Casa Systems. “E-Tech System is a leader in the
industry with a long history of delivering innovative
software-based solutions and services to its customers. We look
forward to working with E-Tech System on this and opening new doors
for other deployments in Korea that would benefit from our 4G/5G
cloud-native solutions.”
