Bridging the Gap: How Summa Networks' Modular Core Empowers Rural Carriers
As the demand for reliable and high-quality mobile connectivity grows in underserved and remote regions, rural carriers face a unique set of challenges. Limited budgets, lack of legacy infrastructure, and the need to offer both traditional voice and modern IP services mean they require solutions that are both powerful and adaptable. This is where Summa Networks' Modular Core comes in — a flexible, full-stack mobile core designed to evolve with your needs.
A Future-Proof Core Built for Flexibility
Summa Networks’ Modular Core is cloud-native, 3GPP-compliant, and designed from the ground up to support 2G, 3G, 4G, 5G NSA, and even 5G SA deployments. Its modular architecture means rural carriers can start with only the components they need — like HSS, HLR, or an IMS Core — and scale up seamlessly as their network grows or business model evolves.
As many operators worldwide face 3G network shutdowns, the ability to evolve quickly to VoLTE and VoWiFi becomes essential — and our Modular Core makes this transition smooth and cost-effective.
This modularity provides not only cost efficiency but also faster time-to-market, allowing rural operators to roll out new services such as VoLTE VoWiFi, or IoT connectivity without undergoing a complete infrastructure overhaul.
Rapid Deployment and Operational Agility
Thanks to its cloud-native and containerized design, Summa Networks’ Modular Core enables rapid deployment in a wide variety of environments. This is ideal for rural carriers looking to accelerate service availability and respond quickly to local demands, without the complexity of traditional core systems.
For carriers looking to simplify operations even further, Summa Networks also offers its solution as a Managed Service, reducing internal overhead while ensuring high availability and expert support.
Tailored for Rural Realities
Rural carriers often operate in complex environments, where integrating new technologies with legacy systems can be a major hurdle. Summa Networks’ solution supports interworking across generations of networks, ensuring compatibility and smooth migration paths. Our platform adapts to your starting point — not the other way around.
