01 Capabilities

Core functions, edge traffic, and migration continuity.

SBA Core

AMF, SMF, UPF and the full service layer.

AMF, SMF, UPF, NRF, AUSF, UDM, UDR, PCF, NSSF, and NEF.

Edge User Plane

Distributed UPF for local breakout and regional edges.

Multi-UPF for local breakout, edge adjacency, and lower latency.

Migration

One product family across EPC, NSA, and SA transitions.

N26 keeps 4G subscribers live while 5G rolls out in stages.

02 Interop & Standards

Standards-compliant, RAN-agnostic, and migration-ready.

3GPP R15/R16-aligned 5GC with SBA, N26, and mixed 4G/5G handover support.

Key Interworking Points

N26 keeps EPC and 5GC subscriber movement aligned during staged migration.
S1/Xn/N2 handover support helps mixed 4G/5G access environments stay coherent.
Third-party macro and small-cell RAN interworking avoids a forced radio swap.
5G QoS, slicing, and policy control stay on the same operating stack.

03 Deployment Fit

Bare metal, NFV, or cloud-native — one core, three deployment paths.

Bare Metal

1U island POP to compact regional core.

For predictable traffic and compact standards-based server footprints.

NFV

VM scale for regional growth.

For VM scale-out on standard x86 infrastructure.

Cloud-Native

Edge and central split on one architecture.

For enterprise edge, MEC-style breakout, and regional UPF distribution.

One operating model across compact POPs, NFV, and cloud-native rollout.
