Ericsson’s Ultra Compact Core addresses mission-critical network requirements for defence and public safety operations, combining evolved packet core (EPC) and 5G core (5GC) capabilities in a compact two-server setup with one-plus-one redundancy for service continuity. Filiberto Pagani explains that it is designed for scenarios where traditional CSP coverage may be inadequate or destroyed, enabling rapid deployment of connectivity for drones, cameras and situational awareness tools.
