Problem
Traditional mobile packet core solutions (EPC) are often proprietary, expensive to license, and require extensive integration effort, limiting service providers’ ability to innovate and control costs.
Solution
Magma offers an open‑source, next‑generation packet core that enables mobile and broadband service providers to deploy core network functions with greater flexibility and lower total cost of ownership. The platform can be installed on Magma‑embedded hardware or integrated with existing infrastructure, allowing rapid rollout of 4G/5G services. By being vendor‑agnostic, Magma avoids lock‑in and works with a wide range of equipment from multiple manufacturers. Its open architecture supports plug‑ins from system integrators and third‑party vendors, enabling carriers to customize functionality to their specific needs. The absence of licensing fees and the ability to leverage community‑driven development can reduce both CAPEX and OPEX by up to 70%.
