Empowering Operators with Summa Networks' Multi Vendor Core Mobile Solutions
In an increasingly complex and demanding telecommunications environment, operators need solutions that are not only robust and scalable but also flexible and adaptable to the constant evolution of technology. At Summa Networks, we understand this need and have developed our solutions around a "Multi Vendor Core Mobile" approach. This approach enables operators to integrate the best from each vendor into a core network that adapts to their specific needs, without the limitations of being tied to a single provider.
The Flexibility of Multi Vendor Core Mobile
The Multi Vendor Core Mobile approach offers unprecedented flexibility by allowing operators to select and integrate solutions from multiple vendors into their core network. This not only optimises network performance but also enables operators to tailor their infrastructure to their unique needs, ensuring they stay at the forefront of technology without being locked into a single vendor.
At Summa Networks, our range of multi-vendor solutions are designed to seamlessly integrate with the existing infrastructure of operators, providing them with the tools they need to thrive in a competitive market. Some of our key multi-vendor products include:
- Converged Control Plane: Summa Networks’ Converged Control Plane is a comprehensive solution that unifies subscriber data management and network functions across 2G, 3G, 4G, and 5G networks. It consolidates the Home Location Register (HLR), Home Subscriber Server (HSS), Authentication, Authorization, and Accounting (AAA), and Unified Data Management (UDM) into a single platform. This convergence allows operators to manage their networks more efficiently, regardless of the underlying technology, ensuring a smooth transition and interoperability across different vendor ecosystems.
- Voice over LTE (VoLTE) and Voice over Wi-Fi (VoWiFi): Our solutions for VoLTE and VoWiFi are designed to integrate seamlessly with multi-vendor mobile cores, allowing operators to offer high-quality voice services over LTE and Wi-Fi networks. This enhances the user experience by providing clear and reliable voice communication, regardless of the underlying network technology.
- RedCap SMSC for IoT: The RedCap SMSC (Short Message Service Center) for IoT is designed to support massive IoT deployments, ensuring efficient and reliable SMS messaging across a wide range of devices and networks. This solution is fully interoperable in multi-vendor environments, allowing operators to manage IoT messaging services with confidence.
- IMS (IP Multimedia Subsystem): Our IMS solution provides a robust platform for delivering multimedia services over IP networks, including voice, video, and messaging. It’s designed to work seamlessly in a multi-vendor core, offering operators the flexibility to deploy advanced communication services while ensuring compatibility with different network elements.
The Evolution Towards Full Core Integration
At Summa Networks, we take the concept of Multi Vendor Core Mobile a step further by facilitating Full Core Integration. We understand that while flexibility is crucial, so is cohesion and operational efficiency. That’s why our solutions are designed to seamlessly integrate into a unified network environment, where all components work together without friction, regardless of their origin.
Full Core Integration ensures that all elements of the core network—from subscriber management to authentication and traffic switching—operate in perfect harmony. This not only simplifies network management but also enhances interoperability and network responsiveness, key aspects in delivering a superior user experience in a competitive telecommunications market.
Benefits for Operators
By combining the strengths of a Multi Vendor Core Mobile environment with the benefits of Full Core Integration, operators can enjoy a range of key advantages:
- Cost Reduction: By selecting components from different vendors, operators can optimise their initial investment and operational costs, choosing solutions that offer the best value.
- Scalability and Flexibility: Networks built under this approach can easily scale and adapt to new technologies and services, such as 5G or IoT, without requiring a complete overhaul.
- Improved Security and Resilience: The ability to integrate multiple security solutions and redundancy measures from different vendors enhances the overall robustness of the network.
- Simplified Operations: Full Core Integration allows the network to be managed from a single control point, simplifying daily operations and reducing technical complexity.
Conclusion
In a world where agility and innovation are crucial for success, Summa Networks positions itself as the ideal partner for operators looking not only to stay competitive but also to lead the industry. Our solutions, built on the foundation of a Multi Vendor Core Mobile and strengthened by Full Core Integration, provide the tools necessary to create a network that not only meets today’s demands but is also prepared to face the challenges of tomorrow.
Explore how our solutions—like the NextGen HSS/HLR, VoLTE/VoWiFi, RedCap SMSC for IoT, and IMS—can transform your network and help you achieve new levels of efficiency and performance. At Summa Networks, we are here to help you build the future of telecommunications.
