5G network functions made simple with AWS Local Zones
This blog discusses the simplicity and ease of using AWS Local Zones to deploy and manage 5G network functions. The 5G Core Network The 5G core network is specifically designed for faster data transfer, low latency, and massive machine-to-machine communication. NFVs, SDN, network slicing, Edge computing, Service-Based Architecture, and UPF are some of the many components of 5G core networks. As an essential component of 5G core network technologies, the User Plane Function (UPF) handles the data traffic of users. It connects the Radio Access Network (RAN) with the rest of the 5G network. UPF offers modular functionality for packet routing, QoS management, policy enforcement, data processing, billing, and other network functions. UPFs can be implemented with AWS Local Zone for improved overall performance and user experience.
