new security issues. Consumers are accessing core
operator applications like telephony, SMS or MMS, which
require sophisticated measures to prevent malicious or
unauthorized access to private network elements.

Today's 3GPP UMA/GAN specification supports dual-
mode phones and terminal adaptors. The emerging 3GPP
Home NodeB/femtocell standard, while similar in concept
to UMA/GAN, will likely include additional requirements.
As standards evolve, new SeGW products will meet the
capabilities defined in the emerging specifications, and
devices need to remain current.
