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.
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.
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
Stay tuned for upcoming new products and solutions.
On the track:
- Smart link aggregation for SMEs, including multi-access via terrestrial and satellite links, non-3GPP access and 5G connectivity
- Evolved NWDAF 5G Network Function to extract and process data analytics from a 5G CN, combining Service Based Events collection, User Plane 3GPP reports, and dedicated probes
- MP-QUIC proxy for 5G Multi-access (ATSSS-HL)
