BaiCells BAICELLS-HALOB-10 HaloB Local EPC Feature Key – 10 Pack

The BaiCells BAICELLS-HALOB-10 is a software feature license pack that enables HaloB Local EPC functionality on compatible BaiCells eNodeBs (eNBs).

HaloB is an embedded EPC solution that moves essential core network functions closer to the radio access network by running lightweight EPC functionality directly on the eNB. This reduces dependence on a continuous connection to a centralized EPC for subscriber attachment and network access.

With HaloB enabled, the eNB can retain subscriber information locally and continue serving previously registered user equipment when the centralized LTE EPC connection is unavailable. In centralized mode, the eNB communicates with BaiCells CloudCore BOSS to retrieve subscriber identity and service-plan information.

License quantity: This SKU provides 10 feature keys. BaiCells distributor listings specify that one key is required per eNB. Therefore, the pack is intended to license up to 10 compatible eNBs, subject to model, firmware, and license compatibility.
