Magma is an open-source mobile core network platform that provides an extendable packet core (EPC/5G core) for network operators, consisting of an Access Gateway, cloud Orchestrator, and Federation Gateway. It enables operators to run cellular and Wi-Fi/CBRS connectivity without vendor lock-in, with federation to existing MNO networks.
Use cases
- run an open-source LTE/4G/5G packet core for a private mobile network
- extend rural cellular coverage by federating with an existing MNO core
- add CBRS or Wi-Fi capacity to a licensed-spectrum network
- manage and monitor a mobile network through a cloud orchestrator and web UI
- avoid vendor lock-in when deploying cellular service
- build a private 5G network for an enterprise campus
When to choose
- you are an operator, ISP, or enterprise deploying your own mobile core network
- you need 3GPP-compliant EPC/5G core that works with unmodified commercial eNodeBs
- you want federation between an existing MNO network and new infrastructure
- you prefer open-source with no licensing fees and vendor-agnostic hardware
When to avoid
- you need a simple consumer VPN or router solution rather than a telecom packet core
- you lack telecom expertise or 3GPP radio equipment
- you need a fully supported commercial SLA without integration partners
- your deployment is small-scale Wi-Fi only with no cellular component
