5G Untrusted access

A dedicated component for adding to an existing 5G Core Network untrusted non-3GPP access capabilities: RomARS’ N3IWF

Highlights

  • Same role and interfaces of RAN/gNB
  • Co-located or connected via VPN to the 5G CN
  • It can be connected to one or more external Access Points, or it can enable Wi-Fi coverage with an embedded 802.11 module

N3IWF Key features

  • 3GPP-compliant mode or gNB compatibility mode
  • Full 5G QoS support and enforcement
  • Up to 4 Gbit/s aggregate throughput per vCore
  • Scalability options to support unlimited number of Access Points, UE and PDU sessions
  • IPSec server with support to NAT-Traversal
  • Web GUI for full configuration and monitoring

Installation Options

  • Pre-configured into embedded hardware (in figure)
  • In-Cloud
  • As a VM on-premises

A Virtual Machine for emulating the UE(s) for untrusted non-3GPP access via N3IWF is available

A Standalone Test 5G Core Network compatible with the untrusted access is available.

5G Trusted access

Components for adding to an existing 5G Core Network trusted non-3GPP access capabilities via Wi-Fi, including both RomARS’ trusted access point (TNAP) and TNGF

Highlights

  • TNGF has the same role and interfaces of RAN/gNB
  • TNGF is co-located or connected via VPN to the 5G CN
  • TNAP is mediating the high-performance trusted access via WiFi

TNGF Key features

  • 3GPP-compliant mode or gNB compatibility mode
  • Full 5G QoS support and enforcement
  • Up to 4 Gbit/s aggregate throughput per vCore
  • Scalability options to support unlimited number of TNAPs, UE and PDU sessions
  • TNGF can be connected to one or more TNAPs
  • IPSec server with support to NAT-Traversal
  • 3GPP compliant RADIUS server
  • Secure connection with the TNAP(s)
  • Web GUI for full configuration and monitoring

TNAP Key features

  • 3GPP compliant RADIUS client
  • 5G access and authentication procedures at L2
  • 5G QoS mapping to Wi-Fi QoS
  • Based on hostapd or OpenWRT

Installation Options (TNAP always in hardware)

  • Pre-configured into embedded hardware
  • TNGF In-Cloud
  • TNGF a VM on-premises

A Virtual Machine for emulating the UE(s) for trusted non-3GPP access via TNAP/TNGF is available

A Standalone Test 5G Core Network compatible with the trusted access is available.

5G Standalone Testing Multi-Access Core Network

A multi-access Stand-Alone 5G Core Network for testing purposes: RomARS’ 5GC

Highlights

  • Compliant with Rel-15, with support to untrusted and trusted non-3GPP access options
  • Supports Rel-16 options for multi-access (when RAN and non-3GPP access are both available to the UE), including:

    • MA-PDU sessions
    • ATSSS-LL support with different steering modes
    • MPTCP proxy/converter
    • PDU Session handover 3GPP / non-3GPP

RomARS’ 5GC Key features

  • Compatible with COTS RANs and UERANSIM
  • Compatible with trusted and untrusted non-3GPP access
  • Implementation of main NFs:
    • NRF, PFC, SMF, AMF, AUSF, UDM, UPF, NSSF
  • Implementation of optional NFs:
    • NWDAF (beta)
  • Up to 6 Gbit/s aggregate throughput per vCore
  • Web GUI for full configuration and monitoring

Installation Options

  • Pre-configured into embedded hardware (example in figure)
  • In-Cloud
  • VM on-premises

A Virtual Machine for emulating the UE(s) for non-3GPP access and radio access via UERANSIM is available, with support of ATSSS and MA-PDU sessions
