As the 5G ecosystem continues to evolve, cloud-native deployment has emerged as a pivotal approach to building agile, scalable, and intelligent core networks. In this third part of the IPLOOK 5GC Deployment Series, we focus on IPLOOK’s cloud-native 5GC solution and how it enables operators and enterprises to fully unlock the potential of 5G networks.
IPLOOK Cloud-Native 5GC: An All-in-One Solution for Future Network Demands
IPLOOK offers a full-stack core network portfolio covering 4G EPC, 5GC, IMS, VoWiFi, NB-IoT, MEC, and satellite core networks (NTN). Built upon cloud-native principles, the platform delivers a highly flexible, intelligent, and performance-driven network foundation, characterized by the following key capabilities:
1.All 5GC network functions are containerized and run in Kubernetes clusters, supporting deployment across public, private,and hybrid cloud environments.
2.Fully compliant with ETSI NFV standards and compatible with mainstream operator cloud platforms for seamless integration.
3.Each network function is decomposed into modular microservices, including database units, interface agents, mobility managers, and OAM components—allowing flexible orchestration and replacement.
4.Natively supports MEC, AI/ML, and network slicing, meeting the demands of real-time service deployment, ultra-low latency, and intelligent operations.
5.Adaptable to centralized, distributed, and edge architectures, supporting diverse scenarios such as private networks, industrial IoT, and satellite-terrestrial integrated networks.
6.Offers cloud-native IMS and VoWiFi solutions, enabling seamless migration to VoLTE and unified communications capabilities.
7.Fully supports satellite core network deployment and integration with LEO satellite systems, accelerating the development of non-terrestrial networks (NTN).
8.Equipped with AI-driven observability and automated O\&M features, enabling predictive maintenance, resource optimization, and self-healing capabilities.
With this architecture, IPLOOK delivers not only deployable network functions, but also a complete cloud-native core platform designed for elastic scaling, agile service delivery, and intelligent lifecycle management.
