The Mobile Content Cloud offers advanced network functions virtualization
(NFV) and software-defined networking (SDN) capabilities to deliver a common, composable, and highly-scalable mobile core with the following:

• 3GPP-compliant functions: MME/SGSN, SGW, GGSN/PGW, ePDG, TWAG, CSGN (NB-IoT), SCEF (IoT), PCRF, AAA, HSS.

• IoT Solutions Suite: comprehensive support for 2G/3G, LTE, LTE-M, NB-IoT services for high mobility/bandwidth to low-mobility/bandwidth applications.

• DPI and Value-Added Services: integrated packet inspection, media, content services: web/video optimization, content filtering, security (e.g. subscriber firewall, NAT).

• Policy and Charging Control(PCC): functions including the Policy Control and Routing Function(PCRF), Policy Control Enforcement Function (PCEF) and Online Charging System(OCS)

• Workflow Orchestration: subscriber classification and functions chaining allow construction of services in minutes instead of months as is typical in legacy silo architectures.

• Affirmed Service Automation Platform (ASAP): configuration management across multi-vendor virtual/physical network elements and network-wide service instances; automates service creation, provisioning, instantiation of network functions; supports standard network element interfaces: SOAP, REST, NETCONF/YANG, and CLI.

• Virtualized WiFi Gateway: Trusted WLAN Access Point/Gateway (TWAP/TWAG) and evolved Packet Data Gateway (ePDG) functions extend network reach and deliver services, such as WiFi calling, through secure access to trusted and untrusted networks.

• Intelligent vProbe and Analytics: co-located with the VNFs to reduce hardware costs, network complexity, and the
performance issues typically associated with legacy probe solutions, while providing real-time network analytics.

• VNF Management: create, provision, instantiate virtual functions in place of traditional network appliances. VNFs can be created per service and data is routed via an optimized processing path across the network using network slicing, offers security, efficient transport, optimized core network processing, and appropriate service quality.

• Element Management: a simplified, centralized provisioning and management of functions and services and is integrated with the OA&M layer to provide visibility and control across the network.
