Line 80:

* Bearer applications which pass or manipulate bearer traffic including both [[Telecommunication circuit|circuit]] and [[Internet Protocol|IP]] [[media gateway]]s, [[access network]] aggregators, [[Base Station Subsystem|Base Station Controller]] (BSC) and [[Radio Network Controller]] (RNC).

* [[Transport layer|Transport]] applications that are part of the [[access network]] including [[Digital subscriber line access multiplexer|IP-DSLAM]], [[Passive optical network|optical network termination]], optical line termination.

* [[Base station]] applications a specialized class covering the needs of wireless base stations serving [[WiMAX]]/, [[4G]] and [[3GPP]]/[[3GPP2]] networks.

The high integration and specialized features that characterize MPU class processor devices make them more efficient and thus more cost-effective than general purpose processors in many of these applications.
