MCN Gw: Connecting mobile generations with operational efficiency

For MNOs, MVNOs and System Integrators, managing connectivity across 2G, 3G, 4G, and 5G essentially means managing one connection per generation.

The Mobile Core Network Gateway (MCN Gw) simplifies this task by acting as a unified interface to any mobile core, supporting multiple protocols and enabling compatibility of operations between different network generations.

PAiCore’s open source MCN Gw offers several key advantages:

  • Protocol convergence: Understanding all mobile signaling standards (including SS7, SIGTRAN, Diameter, HTTP/2), allowing core network elements to interoperate without protocol mismatches.

  • Consistent experience: Whether over legacy or modern infrastructures, MCN Gw ensures stable access to services, handling session-continuity, authentication, and event routing centrally.

  • Scalable operations: With aggregation and load-balancing for high-traffic scenarios, MCN Gw helps operators manage growth safely and efficiently.

  • Simplified integration: Since it decouples application layers from the core’s internal details, MCN Gw makes it easier to connect with common platforms such as SMSCs, USSD GWs, GMLCs, SDPs, and external systems, reducing complexity and time-to-market.

  • Flexible policy control: It provides a policy layer for routing decisions, throttling, or throttling actions based on real-time status, ensuring better traffic management and optimization.

By centralizing connectivity logic across network generations and protocols, our open source MCN Gw is a future-proof enabler that leaves no generation behind.
