| 8 | The SD-Core™ project is a 4G/5G disaggregated mobile core optimized for public |
| 9 | cloud deployment in concert with distributed edge clouds and is ideally suited |
| 10 | for carrier and private enterprise 5G networks. It exposes standard 3GPP interfaces |
| 11 | enabling use of SD-Core as a conventional mobile core. It is also available |
| 12 | pre-integrated with an adapter (part of the Aether ROC subsystem) for those |
| 13 | deploying it as a mobile core as-a-service solution. |
| 14 | |
| 15 | SD-Core is an integral component of Aether, ONF’s 5G Connected Edge platform for |
| 16 | private mobile connectivity and edge cloud services. It can be rapidly deployed |
| 17 | pre-integrated with Aether, as a standalone 5G/4G mobile core, or as control and |
| 18 | dataplane (UPF) components integrated into custom designed solutions. This range |
| 19 | of versatility makes the open source SD-Core platform ideally suited for the |
| 20 | broadest range of use cases and deployment scenarios. |

| 22 | SD-Core Overview |
| 23 | ---------------- |
| 24 | |
| 25 | - Ensure only authenticated mobile devices have network access |
| 26 | - Provides IP connectivity for data & voice services |
| 27 | - Ensures connectivity adheres to QoS and network slice policies |
| 28 | - Tracks user mobility to ensure uninterrupted service |
| 29 | - Tracks subscriber usage |

| 34 | SD-Core is an Integral Part of Aether |
| 35 | ------------------------------------- |
| 36 | |
| 37 | - SD-Core is an integral component of Aether, ONF’s 5G Connected Edge platform for |
| 38 | private mobile connectivity and edge cloud services. |
| 39 | - SD-Core provides the 4G/5G connectivity and the SD-Core control plane at the central |
| 40 | site controls multiple SD-Core user plane components running at each Aether Edge site. |
