Self-contained Lightweight 

Cloud Communication Engines

One solution for all networks

the 3GPP Common API Framework harmonize and secure the use of APIs within a network and outside of it

Common API Framework

The cornerstone of 5G network openness extended by Slicce to leverage the 3gpp common API framework for 3G and 4G networks and extended northbound APIs.

telecom protocol stacks are now API-based

API Exposure Functions

Publish REST APIs via CAPIF for common 3G / 4G / 5G telecom interfaces and provides developers an easy access these interfaces.

an application functions implements a service logic in the 5G network

Application Functions

Communication engine instances that implement some specific service logic by consuming APIs published by AEFs through CAPIF-CF.

CAMEL Gateway and DIAMETER Gateway can be used to convert telecom interfaces and harmonize different mobile networks generations

Interworking Functions

Converts of one telecom interface to another. Commonly referred to as Gateways, these are zero-code telecom protocol convertors.

stp: signaling transfer point, dea: diameter edge agent, sbc: session border controller, dra: diameter routing agent, gtp: gtp proxy

Load Balancers

Telecom protocol’s aware load balancers which are typically used to properly distribute the telecom control plane within a workload.
