Core Network

What if you had a way to go forward, go further, and go fearless with a partner who fully understands both U.S. defense and 5G?

5GC is a fundamental cornerstone of 5G networks establishing reliable connectivity for end users and providing access to its services. The core domain handles a range of essential functions in the mobile network, such as connectivity and mobility management, authentication and authorization, subscriber data management, and policy management.

5G Core network functions are completely software-based and designed as cloud-native, allowing higher deployment agility and flexibility on multiple cloud infrastructures. To ensure deployment flexibility and operational efficiency, cloud-native and programmable solutions are essential.
