Two of the leading networking vendors, 6WIND and NEC have expanded their 10 year partnership to build high performance Evolved Packet Core (EPC) equipment for mobile network infrastructure.
NEC built its 3/4G equipment on its 6WINDGate packet processing software, which will deliver the features, performance and capacity for NEC’s systems to support mobile networks with a seamless transition to virtualization using the same software.
Resulting from the success of its first generation of EPC equipment, NEC’s virtual (vEPC) solutions are now successfully deployed in mobile operator networks.
To achieve maximum packet processing capacity and performance across its next-generation of telecom networking solutions, this expanded partnership will enable NEC to support additional processors and software modules when building products for additional telecom operators and enterprise markets.

In addition to 6WIND’s software, NEC is boosted by 6WIND’s Data Plane Development Kit (DPDK) expertise, heterogeneous hardware support for multi-core processors, network software design skills and licensed support.
Eric Carmes, CEO and Founder, 6WIND
Our packet processing software gives innovators such as NEC the flexibility to deliver networking products with physical and virtual offerings that meet all size network requirements and system evolutions, at a rapid pace.
