Spec Sheet
ADC’s WAVE.GSN (GPRS Support Node) is a key component for supporting General Packet Radio
Service (GPRS) and is ideally suited for small size GSM/GPRS networks. WAVE.GSN is standard
compliant, fully manageable and a cost-effective platform engineered to facilitate easy deployment
in community and enterprise GPRS networks. The system is run-time configurable to function as a
Serving GPRS Support Node (SGSN), a Gateway GPRS Support Node (GGSN) or a combined GSN
(SGSN + GGSN).
ADC’s WAVE.GSN (GPRS Support Node) is a cost effective, fully manageable product that is easily
integrated with an existing GSM network to provide GPRS services in corporate and community
networks. It offers a complete set of standard GPRS interfaces related to a GSN node. WAVE.
GSN also supports its signaling and data interfaces over Frame Relay (FR) and SS7 or the Internet
Protocol (IPv4) to provide seamless integration with packet-based networks. Plus, ADC Wireless’
WAVE.GSN provides both local management capability with a GUI-based local manager and a
remote management with an SNMP agent. The WAVE.GSN Local Manager implements GUI based
statistics reporting, configuration management, alarms, status and user actions.
