Transitioning 4G LTE EPC to 5G Standalone (SA) Core via SRv6

Migrating from a legacy 4G Evolved Packet Core (EPC) to a cloud-native 5G Standalone (SA) architecture can feel like a high-risk operational leap. Running two separate, parallel transport mechanisms during the transition increases operational complexity and costs.

🛠️ The Coexistence Framework: SRv6 serves as the perfect operational bridge, allowing carriers to safely run legacy 4G GTP traffic and next-gen 5G cloud sessions over the exact same physical underlay.

Our transition methodology delivers:

➡ Dual-Protocol Control Plane Sync: Encapsulates 4G GTP packets into SRv6 segment instructions at the edge, protecting legacy hardware investments.

➡ Incremental Workload Shifting: Moves active subscriber bases onto the 5G cloud-native user plane step-by-step, completely removing the risk of a catastrophic "big bang" cutover.

➡ Unified Operations Mapping: Enables your engineering team to manage both transport eras through one centralized, automated software-defined dashboard.

De-risk your network modernization strategy while immediately cutting your day-to-day operational costs.
