The SD-Core project is a 5G/4G disaggregated mobile core implementation optimized for deployment in the public cloud. SD-Core exposes standard 3GPP interfaces for those wishing to use the project as a conventional mobile core, but it is also pre-integrated with an adapter available as part of the Aether ROC subsystem for those wishing to deploy mobile-core-as-a-service as a SaaS solution.
SD-Core leverages control plane components of the Free5GC project and the ONF OMEC project, building on both of these upstream open source projects by adding cloud native capabilities for scaling, resiliency and multi-cloud agility. It also includes three separate User Plane Function (UPF) implementations, and all of which are designed to be deployed throughout the edge of the network with each optimized for specific use cases:
