Actually, GTPv2 with v4v6 bearer works in GSM/UMTS as well, but one has to
software upgrade all components to make sure it's supported. Unfortunately
this is still a future roadmap item for a lot of vendors.
This of course needs to be supported in the end user devices as well, but
the LTE dongles when in 2G/3G will hopefully still support this.
