Integration with 5G UE, RAN and data plane
(Backwards Compatibility with 5G Equipment)
Open6GCore is a core network implementation that looks ahead of time. We implement a core network concept that rethinks the structure of a core network and builds upon software development best practices. Thus, improving the design of a core network from the basis and highlighting the potential. To prove that this concept works, we built support for 5G UE, RAN and UPF (data plane). We can show that this concept of a core network can support 5G equipment and at the same time we can point to areas of improvement for 6G equipment and interfaces.
