The primary goal of the MobileNext Broadband Gateway is to take the industry to a new level in user plane scalability and performance, one focused on supporting the heavy signaling load generated by smartphones. With over 107 million smartphones having been sold worldwide in Q2 2011, this has rapidly become a priority for many operators.

The MobileNext Broadband Gateway supports the services required by 2G, 3G and LTE mobile networks. The following are just some of those capabilities:

Provides scalability along the dimensions of sessions, session setup rate and throughput with services enabled.
Offers support for a host of mobile services and IP services. This ability to consolidate related functions can greatly simplify and streamline deployments.
Delivers simultaneous support for 2G/3G and LTE connectivity.
Provides separation of the control plane and data plane within the MobileNext Broadband Gateway to enable each to scale independently for much greater call model flexibility.
Offers hardware acceleration of many services to provide the scale with services enabled that a smartphone-centric world requires.
Has a strong enterprise feature set that includes APN scale, APN management and integrated VPN (MPLS and IPsec) support.
Provides billing support without any performance impact.
Can be hosted on Juniper Networks MX240, MX480 and MX960 3D Universal Edge Routers for deployment flexibility.
Runs the industry-leading Junos OS with Juniper Networks Junos SDK for greatly increased service velocity.

Feature	Benefit
Scale along the dimensions of sessions, session setup rate and performance with services enabled.	This enables operators to handle up to 100 percent year-over-year data growth that they are experiencing now and well into the future.
All functions run on Juniper Networks Junos operating system on Juniper Networks MX Series 3D Universal Edge Routers.	This allows great flexibility in how services are deployed and enables the MobileNext Broadband Gateway to excel in both centralized and distributed mobile core deployments.
Services can be hardware accelerated.	This allows the MobileNext Broadband Gateway to provide extremely high performance with service enabled. This is valuable in a variety of applications including machine-to-machine (M2M) and smartphone-connected customers.
The MobileNext Broadband Gateway control plane is separated from the data plane.	This allows each to scale separately and enables support for a wide variety of call models. This is expected to become very important as M2M applications are added to the network.
The MobileNext Broadband Gateway supports both IP services and mobile services.	This removes the need for external boxes to be deployed behind the GGSN/P-GW to provide services such as PE router, carrier-grade NAT, etc.
Very scalable APN support is available.	This enables operators to address the growing opportunity around business VPNs based on APNs and SIM cards. This is expected to accelerate with the arrival of M2M.
