The Mobile Evolution Transport Architecture (META) supports the efficient, end-to-end mobile transport of existing TDM-based and next generation packet-based mobile technologies over any media -- fiber, copper, and wireless transport -- providing a smooth evolution path to all IP. It gives service providers an end-to-end network architecture with more intelligence, flexibility, simplicity and cost-effectiveness to successfully serve the massive growth in mobile subscribers, applications, and devices. Through META, CDMA/EVDO and GSM/UMTS/HSPA service providers can transform and scale their networks while leveraging existing investments and support the migration to next generation wireless broadband technologies like WiMAX and LTE.
