Azure Operator 5G Core is a carrier-grade, ’Any-G’, hybrid mobile packet core with fully integrated network functions that run both on-premises and in-cloud. Service providers can deploy resilient networks with high performance and at high capacity, while maintaining low latency. The Azure Operator 5G Core is ideal for Tier 1 consumer networks, mobile network operators (MNO), virtual network operators (MVNOs), enterprises, IoT, fixed wireless access (FWA), and satellite network operators (SNOs).

Sophisticated management tools and automated lifecycle management simplify and streamline network operations. Operators can efficiently accelerate migration to 5G in standalone and non-standalone architectures, while continuing to support all legacy mobile network access technologies (2G, 3G, & 4G).

The power of Azure's global footprint ensures global coverage and operating infrastructure at scale, coupled with Microsoft’s ‘Zero Trust’ security framework to provide secure and reliable connectivity to cloud applications.

The Azure Operator 5G core's observability stack provides a rich set of insightful dashboards out-of-the-box. Operators can use their existing analytics solutions for further analysis or leverage Azure Operator Insights, which combines the power of Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning to provide advanced analytics capabilities. Azure Operator 5G Core generates detailed Event Data Records, which provide operators with the insights to optimize network performance and improve subscriber Quality of Experience.

With a comprehensive portfolio of Azure services and a broad ecosystem of partners and applications, Microsoft is committed to helping operators modernize and monetize their networks while allowing them to focus on their core business delivering innovative new services to enterprises and consumers.
