Fusion Core is a fully container-based packet core underpinned by 3GPP 5G Core standards. It has both control and user planes available as containers that are orchestrated by open source Kubernetes. Fusion Core provides massively scalable, virtualized deployments within public, private or hybrid elastic compute environments - combining a cloud native design with an ultra-high-performance user plane function (UPF). Its architectural design enables portability across either hardware VM-based hypervisor infrastructures (VMware or KVM) or OS container-based (Docker) environments with Kubernetes management.

Judge's Comment: "A cloud native, container-based 5G EPC....what's not to like? As MSOs look to enter the crowded 5G arena, deploying a solution that has low cost of entry but can grow with your success is the perfect combination."
