Vision and Mission
We make LTE easy

IEEE 802.11 (WiFi) based wireless local area

networks (WLAN) cannot sufficiently support a
growing number of applications.
3GPP mobile network technologies are ideally
suited to meet the requirements.

MECSware develops optimized products and system

solutions such as the LTE based Mobile Edge Cloud
Server (MECS), which enable the fast deployment
end easy operation of local LTE networks.
