LTE/GSM Core Network for private networks set up easily in hard to reach places

YateUCN

YateHSS/HLR

Solution for private LTE network

? Suitable for private LTE for enterprise
? LiteCore is installed on an industrual computer which makes it strong and lasting.

Rack mountable

? This equipment is Rack mountable so you can install it in your data center.
? LiteCore is 2U, mounted on a rack shelf

1000 users

? LiteCore allows up to 1000 users.

Shockproof and passive cooling

? It can be used in war zones or mines because you can connect it to SatSite (LTE eNodeB) and you have your own strong and lasting network

Components

LiteCore comes with the following software components installed:

YateUCN (MSC/VLR, GMSC, gsmSCF, MME/SGW/SGSN, PGW/GGSN, IMS CSCF)

YateHLR/HSS (AuC, HLR, HSS, Subscriber management)

YateSMSC (SMS store-and-forward, routing, home routed SMS)

YateSTP (routing of SS7 messages by Point Code or Global Title)

YateDRA (routing of Diameter messages by host, realm, application)

YateMMI (Web management interface)

Features

  • Setup/edit mobile network and component preferences via MMI management interface
  • Minimal monitoring of each network component, additional YateBTS monitoring possible
  • Wireshark capture of communication between components including decrypted IMS traffic
  • JSON API integration with any SIM management and CRM systems
  • JSON and REST API for sending SMS
  • Can use both SIGTRAN/SS7 and Diameter for signaling
  • Supports both IPv4 and IPv6
  • Works both stand alone and with external components

NOTE: On demand additional components can be installed on the same hardware to fit your private LTE network requirements.
