vk5GC 5G Core Network Architecture

Why Choose vk5GC?

Traditional 5G core networks are complex to deploy, expensive in hardware costs, and difficult to maintain. vk5GC adopts innovative containerization technology and cloud-native architecture, integrating all 5G core functions into a single platform. This enables enterprises to rapidly build private 5G networks while reducing total cost of ownership by 60-80%.

Key Features

  • All-in-One Design: Integrates AMF, SMF, UPF, AUSF, UDM, PCF, NRF, NSSF – all 5GC network functions in a single platform. Out-of-the-box deployment reduces time from months to weeks
  • Lightweight Cloud-Native Architecture: Container-based technology requires only 4 vCPUs/16GB RAM minimum per node. Supports bare metal, VM, and Kubernetes deployment options
  • 3GPP R15/R16/R17 Compliant: Standard N2/N3 interfaces ensure seamless interoperability with mainstream 5G base stations (gNodeB) from Huawei, ZTE, Ericsson, Nokia
  • Complete 5G Feature Support: Network slicing, eMBB, URLLC ultra-low latency (<5ms), mMTC massive IoT, MEC edge computing, VoNR HD voice
  • Carrier-Grade Performance: User plane latency <5ms, single node throughput 10Gbps+, supports millions of concurrent users, 99.999% high availability
  • Enterprise-Grade Security: 5G AKA authentication, signaling/user plane encryption, end-to-end security policies. Supports fully offline deployment – data never leaves your premises
