The Modular Core for Mobile, IoT & Private Networks
The Summa Networks Full Core is a complete, modular mobile network core — covering all generations from 2G to 5G NSA and extensible to 5G SA — purpose-built to help Communication Service Providers to transition at their own pace, with controlled TCO and without disrupting live services.
Built around a Unified Subscribers Database and an Extended and Converged Control Plane, the Full Core enables true interworking between 3G/4G and 5G network functions. CSPs can start with the components they need today and activate 5G SA functions when they are ready — no forklift upgrades, no vendor lock-in.
With 40+ live customers worldwide and a proven capacity of over 90 million subscribers, the Full Core is deployed by MNOs, MVNOs, IoT carriers, private LTE operators and international carriers across five continents.
- Interworking between 2G/4G and 5G core functions
- Self-paced 5G SA evolution — activate when ready
- Future-proof investment with no vendor lock-in
- Single Unified Subscribers DB across all generations
- Scalable for several millions of subscribers
Built for how operators actually work
A single platform covering the full mobile network core — from a lightweight MVNO starter to a complete MNO deployment. Each component integrates natively; add what you need, when you need it.
Complete yet adaptable
Covers HLR/HSS, EIR, PCRF, AAA, SMSC, IMS and all 5G SA network functions. Deploy the full suite or activate individual modules as your network evolves — no unnecessary complexity from day one.
Scalable for millions of subscribers
Proven in production with 40+ live customers and 90M+ subscriber capacity. Built for high availability and geo-redundancy — from small MVNO deployments to large MNO infrastructure.
Flexible deployment models
Runs on bare metal, VMs, Docker or Kubernetes. Deploy on-premise, on public cloud or hybrid — the architecture adapts to your infrastructure without vendor lock-in.
Fully Managed Service
Summa Networks acts as prime contractor for the full solution. 24/7/365 direct support via chat and phone, with direct access to the engineering team — no ticket queues, no intermediaries.
From 2G to 5G SA
Covers the full spectrum from 2G/3G through 4G NSA and extends natively to 5G SA. Full interworking between generations throughout the transition — no forklift upgrades required.
Business model adapted to your market
CAPEX, OPEX and PAYG pricing always based on active subscribers. Differentiated rates for MVNE, IoT and Fixed IMS. SUS ensures all new software versions are included at no extra cost.
Who deploys the Full Core
The Full Core covers a wide range of operators and network scenarios — from large MNOs replacing legacy infrastructure to MVNOs building their first independent core.
5G NSA & SA evolution
Operators transitioning from 4G to 5G NSA and evolving toward 5G SA at their own pace, with full interworking between generations throughout the process.
MNO RIP & Replace
Mobile network operators replacing legacy or high-risk vendor infrastructure — with prior migration experience from Tekelec, Alcatel-Lucent, Nokia and Huawei.
MVNOs becoming full MVNO
MVNOs ready to own their core — composing best-of-breed mobile cores with full HLR/HSS, PCRF and 5G SDM, without depending on the host MNO’s infrastructure.
International carriers
International and roaming-focused operators requiring Multi-IMSI, Multi-SIM, Roaming and Steering of Roaming (SoR) capabilities across multiple networks and jurisdictions.
IoT & Private LTE
IoT carriers in automotive, wearables and M2M segments, plus private LTE network operators requiring subscriber management at IoT-ARPU prices and carrier-grade reliability.
VoLTE / VoWiFi & 3G roaming
Operators evolving their voice core toward VoLTE and VoWiFi, as well as carriers offloading 3G roaming traffic to a modern, cost-efficient infrastructure.
High value in a back-to-back business model
One price, all included — no modules, no hidden costs for functionalities. The Software Update Service (SUS) ensures access to every new version at no extra cost, ever. Product evolution is driven by customer feedback, with direct access to the engineering team and full roadmap transparency, backed by 24/7/365 managed support with Summa Networks as prime contractor.
Pricing is always based on active subscribers — CAPEX, OPEX or PAYG, with differentiated rates for MVNE, IoT and Fixed IMS deployments.
