Chapter 1. Overview
About this chapter
This chapter provides information on the Apex Lifestyle Small Cell solution. The
small cells communicate with the HeNB-GW (4G) which is a network element that
concentrates small cells and connects them to the operator’s core network. An Apex
Lifestyle Small Cell is typically deployed in customers premises. The small cells use
IPsec/IKE protocols to provide secure backhaul of traffic to the HeNB-GW which
provides connectivity for Small Cells to the 4G EPC.
