Canonical has created its own distribution of the Linux Foundation's Open Source Aether project for reducing complexity for companies building mobile 5G networks. Called Charmed Aether SD-Core, the software is designed to offer a complete network environment, with IT teams able to operate it through simple command line interfaces and a graphical user interface. The distribution enables enterprises to achieve private 5G and includes an all-in-one model that runs on a single Kubernetes cluster.
The Linux Foundation's cloud-native 5G software SD-Core is now available through Charmed Aether SD-Core, reducing the complexity of creating a 5G network core. The Charmed distribution allows for a simple deployment and network operation of mobile 5G networks making it easier for IT admin to operate with limited knowledge of private 5G core networks. It brings automation to the cloud so that telecom specialists who consider private 5G networks can handle their own core networks smoothly.
Charmed Aether SD-Core provides a free open source software solution for IT teams to deploy the 5G network with ease, using simple CLI commands and intuitive GUIs. It can be all-in-one on a single Kubernetes cluster or across multiple clouds. Designed to run in a distributed environment, the software ensures sensitive data processing at multiple sites at the network edge. Moreover, the software is fully automated and can support leveraging open source to build an end-to-end 5G network on equipment companies already run.
Charmed Aether SD-Core addresses the challenges of deploying and running a private 5G network by providing simple interfaces without the need for necessary technical know-how. Its Juju orchestration engine manages complexity by using software operators, which simplifies the process for IT admin to deploy and manage the network. It requires only a CNCF compliant Kubernetes running, such as Canonical Kubernetes.
Operators who are planning to adopt open source 5G core are increasingly looking for complementary tools to ease deployment and management of the software involved. Charmed Aether SD-Core offers a solution that ensures easy deployment and a tool that can flexibly manage the SD-Core's complex software components at a lower cost. This means companies can achieve a private 5G deployment, with premium connectivity available for their devices on-site.
Charmed Aether SD-Core allows for cloud-native, distributed deployment of 5G networks, and an enterprise can achieve a private 5G network deployment as the software runs on Kubernetes. The integration of the software with CNCF compliant Kubernetes makes it easy for telecom specialists exploring private 5G networks to participate in the cloud-native 5G architecture efficiently.
Charmed Aether SD-Core's support for IT teams exposes them to cost-effective private mobile networks, simplifying the deployment and operation process of complex network software. With its scalability, software operators are no longer required to manage complex scripts to manage multiple complex software components, such as the user plane function. Moreover, the infrastructure is managed with cloud-native software that easily scales based on customer demand and dynamic system conditions.
Charmed Aether SD-Core illustrates an open-source solution for building an end-to-end 5G network that can be run on any equipment for a lower cost. It is available as beta and includes tutorials and how-to guidance to ensure a cost-effective private mobile network. Companies now exploring private 5G core networks can test Charmed Aether SD-Core using open-source radio and UE software simulators to learn more about cloud-native private 5G deployments.
Canonical's Juju orchestration engine enables corporations to transition to open source in mobile networking easily. Juju operates a wide range of open-source products today. It promotes simplicity and easy deployment for private 5G with cost-effective solutions for corporations. Canonical provides a full stack for telecom infrastructure so that corporations can learn more about its telco solutions at ubuntu.com/telco.
Charmed Aether SD-Core automated open source 5G mobile core networks are ideal components for companies that need mobile connectivity for their system building plans. Enterprises can now look to Charmed Aether SD-Core's automated open source infrastructure for reducing the complexity of creating a 5G network core. It helps businesses reduce development time and overall costs for companies.
Charmed Aether SD-Core is fully automated and easily consumable for anyone who has a CNCF compliant Kubernetes running. The solution is designed to work on COTS hardware on-site, enabling companies to leverage open source in telecommunications to build an end-to-end 5G network that can be run on equipment that companies already run.
