OpenEPC - Open Evolved Packet Core

OpenEPC is a prototype implementation of the 3GPP Evolved Packet Core (EPC) – Release 10 – that enables academia and industry researchers and engineers around the world to obtain a practical look and feel of the capabilities of the Evolved Packet Core. OpenEPC Rel. 3, the current version available, includes all the components of the 3GPP architecture including the interfaces with various access technologies and service platforms.

OpenEPC can be integrated with various access network technologies and different application domains and therefore it provides an excellent foundation for own research activities and/or the establishment of truly mobile broadband testbeds like the Fraunhofer FOKUS FUSECO Playground for FUture SEamless COmmunication.

The goal of the FUSECO Playground is to cover the entire technology spectrum of a future mobile broadband network from wireless devices across various access & core networks up to an open set of application platforms, supporting data, multimedia streaming, machine type and mobile cloud applications.

Note that although the FUSECO Playground is initially provided in the vibrant city of Berlin, it is designed for high "portability" as it addresses the easy integration of other access technologies and application platforms from around the world. In particular, the OpenEPC toolkit is designed to enable local and highly customized FUSECO Playground instantiations around the globe at the premises of various organizations.
