A Secure, Cloud Native Signaling Solution for the New 5G Core
Oracle 5G Service Communication Proxy (SCP) helps operators to efficiently secure and manage their 5G network by providing routing control, resiliency, and observability to the core network. Oracle’s SCP leverages IT service mesh (ISTIO) and adds critical capabilities to make it 5G-aware, thereby addressing many of the challenges caused by the new service- based architecture (SBA) in the 5G core.
SCP Business Benefits
- Increases network efficiency by providing effective load balancing across 5G core network function instances
- Provides visibility into the 5G core network
- Eases the introduction and scaling of new services and features
- Assists in reducing network complexity and maintenance cost
- Helps Communications Service Providers (CSPs) to resolve interoperability issues and deliver better services to their customers
