Who,  what  and  how?  Quortus  –  UK  soIware  company  

•  Champions  of  pushing  core  intelligence  towards  the  network-­‐edge  

Award-­‐winning  virtualised  4G/3G/GSM  core  network  •  Embedded  at  the  network  edge,  variety  of  devices,  or  in  cloud.  •  Targeted  at  Enterprise,  public  safety,  military  and  rural/remote.  

SoluQon-­‐driven  innovaQon  •  Aligning  with  new  industry  architectures:    SCF,  ETSI  MEC

Back  in  2013:  Quortus  ECX  Enterprise  for  3G  launched  •  First  realisaPon  of  SCF  Release  2  for  Enterprise  architecture  

Now  with  4G  support,  and  local  VoLTE  capabiliPes  •  True  QoS  managed  voice,  allow  integrated  with  local/hosted  PBX  •  Local  embedded  IMS.  Centralised  IMS  core  not  necessary.  

Unique  mulP-­‐technology  architecture:    4G,  3G,  GSM  •  Allows  CS  fallback,  high  mobility,  local  SMS  over  4G  •  Radio  vendor  agnosPc  –  many  supported
