SANTA CLARA, Calif. -- Mobile broadband developer Stoke, Inc.today announced an ultra high performance version of its Stoke Security eXchange solution for 4G/LTE networks. Capable of an unprecedented 40 Gbps of throughput, the standalone Security eXchange with XGLC20 packet processing card equips operators with unmatched capabilities to secure and encrypt huge volumes of LTE mobile broadband services without introducing latency or impairing quality.

The ability to adapt to traffic surges, deliver a high quality multimedia experience, aggregate multiple radio types and secure IP-based communications are among the chief operator priorities as they transition to 4G/LTE. With mobile broadband traffic expected to grow by over 3000% over the next five years, there is intense pressure on traditional network infrastructure elements to secure and intelligently handle exponentially increasing mobile broadband traffic.

“Security is a priority function in LTE networks and is also a prescribed aspect of 3GPP mobile networks,” said Jennifer Pigg, Vice President at industry analyst firm The Yankee Group. “The standalone model, as in the case of Stoke, allows network operators to scale the security function independently from other EPC functions, which becomes increasingly important as pressure on the network grows.”
