The Nokia Cloud Mobile Gateway (CMG) is a multi-functional packet core mobile gateway that provides greater deployment flexibility, elastic scale, high reliability and the capacity to deliver mobile services. The Nokia CMG is architected for cloud networking environments using web-scale and a state-efficient design to meet the growing device connectivity demands for 4G, Internet of Things (IoT) and in the future, 5G. The CMG draws on the field-proven Nokia 7750 Service Router (SR) Mobile Gateway Operating System (OS) control plane software, which ensures service and operational consistency.
