MiniCore

MiniCore is a compact, all-in-one core network solution for testing and research, integrating YateHSS/HLR, YateUCN, and YateSMSC.

Description

MiniCore is a compact, all-in-one core network solution ideal for testing and research purposes. It integrates YateHSS/HLR, YateUCN, and YateSMSC into a small-form-factor PC unit. This allows for the creation of a complete, functional core network within a laboratory setting. It's especially useful for testing and integration with LTE ENodeBs, offering a versatile platform for mobile network development and experimentation. MiniCore supports various communication protocols, including SS7, Diameter, SIP, and more, and features a web-based management interface (YateMMI) for easy configuration and monitoring. Its compact size makes it suitable for labs with limited space.

Features

MiniCore combines YateHSS/HLR, YateUCN, and YateSMSC into a single, compact PC unit. It includes a comprehensive set of components such as MSC/VLR, GMSC, MME/SGW/SGSN, PGW/GGSN, and IMS CSCF. MiniCore supports various communication protocols (SS7, Diameter, SIP, etc.) and interfaces. A key feature is the web-based YateMMI for configuration and monitoring. MiniCore also provides JSON/REST APIs for SMS and network management and allows for Wireshark capture of network traffic. Its compact design minimizes the required physical space for operation.

Benefits

MiniCore offers significant advantages in terms of cost-effectiveness and convenience for testing and research. Its compact size saves valuable lab space. The integrated components simplify setup and reduce integration complexities. The versatile communication protocols supported enable testing in various network environments. The included YateMMI provides a user-friendly interface for managing the entire network. The JSON API allows easy integration with other systems, such as SIM management and CRM tools. It supports both standalone and external component configurations. The comprehensive documentation and readily available support streamline the learning curve and troubleshooting process.
