Cisco Mobility Services Gateway

Unified mobility gateway for multigenerational networks

Simplify core operations with a unified control plane and microservices-based user plane to accelerate service delivery, scalability, and performance across all network generations. 

Simplify any generation of mobility network, optimize 5G evolution

Unified management across network generations

Manage 2G–5G networks on a single cloud-native platform. Mobility Services Gateway streamlines deployment and operations across generations, reducing complexity and operational overhead.

Operational efficiency at cloud scale

Automate configuration and lifecycle management across gateway components using Cisco orchestration and automation capabilities, and simplify operations for both non-5G and 5G services.

Always-on performance and reliability

The gateway delivers deep observability, rolling upgrades, uninterrupted availability, and high throughput across diverse mobility use cases, offering always-on consistency. 

End-to-end mobility control with cloud-native scale

Mobility Services Control Plane

Centralized core logic for mobility, policy, charging, and subscriber management across all generations, offering a consistent operational foundation that enables evolution from core services toward 5G SA.

Mobility Services User Plane

Cloud-native user plane integrates scalable User Plane Function (UPF) support with flexible resource allocation and rolling upgrades — optimized for throughput, edge services, and evolving customer needs.

Use cases

Multigenerational core network consolidation

Consolidate 2G, 3G, 4G, and 5G core functions on a single cloud-native gateway, simplifying operations while maintaining consistent services across network generations.

Seamless transition to 5G Standalone (5G SA)

Enable a smooth evolution to 5G SA while sustaining existing 4G services, preserving functional parity and minimizing disruption as new services and users are introduced.

Elastic scaling during 4G to 5G migration

Dynamically scale compute resources between 4G and 5G user traffic without downtime, optimizing infrastructure utilization as subscriber demand shifts over time.

High-performance user plane for diverse services

Deliver optimized throughput and reliability using a cloud-native user plane with flexible resource allocation, supporting use cases like FWA, consumer mobility, and IoT.

Key Capabilities

Unified multigenerational control plane

A common control plane supports 2G, 3G, 4G, and 5G SA services, enabling consistent policy, mobility, and session management. It helps ensure seamless 3GPP-compliant handovers and maintains functional parity during the transition to 5G SA.

Cloud-native, high-performance user plane

A microservices-based user plane delivers high throughput, flexible resource allocation, and rolling upgrades with no service disruption. It supports diverse use cases such as fixed wireless access, consumer mobility, and IoT with optimized performance.

Automated lifecycle with Cisco Crosswork NSO

Cisco Crosswork Network Services Orchestrator (NSO) enables automated configuration, deployment, and lifecycle management across control and user plane components using a single function pack, simplifying operations and reducing complexity for both non-5G and 5G services.

End-to-end visibility with Cisco PCA

Integrated with Cisco Provider Connectivity Assurance (PCA), the gateway delivers deep observability across control and user planes, enabling proactive monitoring, faster troubleshooting, and improved reliability across all supported network generations.
