Cloud Native 5G Connectivity Service

BECOME A MEMBERMORE INFO

Aether is an open source 5G platform designed for the edge. It includes a cloud native Mobile Core (SD-Core) and an O-RAN compliant RAN (SD-RAN), both running on a Kubernetes-based edge cloud. (Aether can also be deployed with commercially available 4G/5G small cells.)

Aether is packaged as a managed cloud service, offering Connectivity-as-a-Service with closed-loop control. This includes both a runtime API (AMP) and DevOps-based Lifecycle Management (OnRamp). This combination makes it possible for users to gain hands-on experience with small deployments, and then scale up to larger multi-site environments.
