Cloud Disaster Recovery for Mobile Core

Summa Networks provides full mobile core disaster recovery — cloud-native, always-on replication with automatic failover covering all core network functions, from HLR and HSS to PCRF.

Use case

Mobile Core Disaster Recovery — Full System, Not Just Components

Summa Networks delivers mobile core disaster recovery as a complete cloud-native solution — covering all core network functions including HLR, HSS, EIR and PCRF, with always-on replication and automatic failover at a predictable cost.

The challenge

Resilient, cloud-native disaster recovery for telco networks

In the telecom world, service continuity is everything. Any disruption can lead to outages, regulatory issues, and a serious loss of customer trust.

However, traditional disaster recovery solutions are often partial, complex to integrate, or reliant on idle infrastructure that brings high costs and low efficiency.

The solution

Full mobile core disaster recovery — not just isolated components

Summa Networks provides a cloud-based disaster recovery solution for the entire mobile core system, not just isolated components. This is possible thanks to our modular Full Core, which includes all key network functions — HLR, HSS, EIR, PCRF, and more — in a compact, cloud-native architecture.

Our disaster recovery setup runs in always-on mode at minimal capacity, continuously replicating data and configurations in real time. When a failure is detected in the primary system, the backup instance scales up immediately to maintain subscriber services, session management, and network continuity.

You only pay a small base fee for live replication, and additional costs apply only when the backup core is actively serving traffic — offering an efficient and predictable cost model.

How it works

Always on, automatic failover

  • The full backup core is hosted in a public cloud environment (including AWS).
  • It remains connected and synchronized at all times.
  • In case of a major failure:
    • The backup system automatically activates and scales.
    • It temporarily takes over all core network functions.
  • Once resolved, operations are smoothly transferred back to the main core.

Key benefits

Full resilience. Predictable cost. Zero compromise.
