Product Offerings
User Plane Function (UPF)
External PDU session Point of Interconnect to DN.
- Executes the traffic steering rules.
- Enforces quality of service and Policy Enforcement.
Unified Data Repo (UDR)
Storage of subscription data.
- Storage of policy data by the PCF.
- Storage and retrieval of structured data for exposure.
Unified Data Management (UDM)
Generation of 3GPP AKA prime & 5G AKA Authentication Credentials.
- User Identification Handling. For example, storage and management of Subscribers Permanent Identifier (SUPI) for each subscriber in the 5G system.
- Support of de-concealment of privacy-protected subscription identifier (SUCI – Subscriber Concealed identifier)
Unstructured Data Storage Function (UDSF)
Storage of unstructured data.
- Single-stop NF for all the NFs-related unstuck data.
- Allows any NF to store and retrieve any of its data.
Authentication Server Function (AUSF)
Supports the Authentication and Authorization for 3GPP and Non-3GPP access.
- Access authorization based on subscription data.
- Generates keying material for subsequent key derivation.
Session Management Function (SMF)
-
Managing Sessions in a Data Plane.
- PCF interaction for session rules application.
- UE IP address allocation.
- Selection of UPF to handle the UE traffic through AMF.
Salient Features
3GPP Compliance
All Telaverge’s NFs are as per 3GPP release 16 and can be deployed together or as an independent NF to augment your existing network.
Data Management
Storing and Managing network user data in a Unified platform - UDR and UDM enable operators to secure and monetize investments.
