CHAPTER 1
HNB Gateway in Wireless Network
The Cisco
®
ASR5x00 system provides 3GPP wireless carriers with a flexible solution that functions as a
Home NodeB Gateway (HNB-GW) in HNB Access Network to connect UEs with existing UMTS networks.
The Home NodeB Gateway works as a gateway for Home NodeBs (HNBs) to access the core networks. The
HNB-GW concentrates connections from a large amount of HNBs through IuH interface and terminates the
connection to existing Core Networks (CS or PS) using standard Iu (IuCS or IuPS) interface.

Product Description
The Home NodeB Gateway is the HNB network access concentrator used to connect the Home NodeBs
(HNBs)/Femto Access Point (FAP) to access the UMTS network through HNB Access Network. It aggregates
Home Node-B or Femto Access Points to a single network element and then integrates them into the Mobile
Operators Voice, Data and Multimedia networks.
