Human Centric Smart Cities: Service Providers the Essential Glue
Human Centric Smart Cities - Telecoms Provide the Essential Glue

Cisco is reinventing the Evolved Packet Core, GiLAN, and service enablement to reduce cost, provide webscale and bring new services to market in minutes. Our Ultra Services Platform can enable mobile operators to create and deliver customized private networks for:
- The enterprise
- Mobile Virtual Network Operators (MVNO)
- The Internet of Things (IoT)
- Special events
- Consumers
Cisco Ultra IoT
Cisco Ultra Services Platform has new capabilities for IoT in support of the 3GPP Cellular IoT (CIoT) architecture, including licensed LPWA network access (i.e., CAT-M1 and NB-IoT). This allows Operators to provide connectivity for IoT devices requiring low power consumption, long range, low cost and security.
Cisco Ultra IoT evolves the Ultra Services Platform to bring these new features for IoT including:
- Cisco CIoT Serving Gateway Node (CSGN), which terminates access types with uniform identity, authentication, and security, with deployment flexibility and dynamic scalability that leverages Cisco leadership in Network Function Virtualization (NFV).
- Cisco enhanced Service Capability Exposure Function (eSCEF), which includes standardized APIs to expose network capabilities to applications for new Operator monetization opportunities.
Cisco Ultra M Platform
Ultra M is an easy-to-use virtualization platform from Cisco designed to simplify the deployment of mobile core virtual network functions (VNFs). The solution combines Cisco Ultra Gateway Applications with a Cisco Validated OpenStack infrastructure to give mobile operators the confidence to start deploying services quickly. This virtualization platform can then be upgraded to the Ultra Services Platform, our next generation for cloud mobile services.
