An interesting article on LTE EPC market.http://telephonyonline.com/3g4g/news/mobile-core-wars-1221/
Here is the summary.
Alcatel-Lucent: Starting from scratch with 4G, designing its LTE evolved packet core using its IP division 7750 Service RouterCisco: Cisco has built P-gateways and S-gateways using its router platforms, but with the acquisition of Starent Networks it will likely focus on its purpose-built ST40 platform for both 3G and 4G
Ericsson: It's partnership with Juniper ends at 3G. Instead it's using Redback SmartEdge technology to build its gateways.
NSN: While evolving its 3G technology for the LTE core, it is redesigning on the Advanced Telecom Computing Architecture to give it extra kick on the control plane
Tellabs: Bought WiMax gateway specialist WiChorus and plans to use its technology to enter LTE market as well as use augment its backhaul products.
Ericsson seems to have turned the Juniper platform into an EPC gateway too... as well as the Redback.
