#### Ella Core is a 4G and 5G mobile core network designed for private deployments.

Ella Core is a mobile core network designed for private deployments. It consolidates the complexity of traditional 4G and 5G networks into a single application, offering simplicity, reliability, and security.

Typical mobile networks are expensive, complex, and inadequate for private deployments. They require a team of experts to deploy, maintain, and operate. Open source alternatives are often incomplete, difficult to use, and geared towards research and development. Ella Core is a production-geared solution that simplifies the deployment and operation of private mobile networks.

Use Ella Core where you need mobile connectivity: in a factory, a warehouse, a farm, a stadium, a ship, a military base, or a remote location.

**Key Features**

* **Performant Data Plane**: Achieve high throughput and low latency with an eBPF-based data plane. Ella Core delivers over 10 Gbps of throughput and less than 1 ms of latency.
* **Lightweight**: Ella Core is a single binary with an embedded database, making it easy and quick to stand up. It requires as little as 1 CPU core, 1GB of RAM, and 10GB of disk space. Forget specialized hardware; all you need to operate your mobile core network is a Linux system with a network interface.
* **Subscriber Traffic Control**: Define permitted network flows per subscriber, enforce them in the user plane. Track subscriber traffic and usage in real time.
* **AI-Native API**: Complete RESTful API and Go client for automation and integration. Manage every aspect of your network programmatically — or let AI agents do it securely using the OpenAPI specification and ready-to-use AI agent skill.
* **BGP Support**: Advertise subscriber routes to your enterprise network and receive routes from BGP peers.
* **Intuitive User Experience**: Manage subscribers, radios, data networks, policies, and operator information through a user-friendly web interface.
* **Real-Time Observability**: Access logs, metrics, traces, profiles, and dashboards to monitor network health through the UI, the Prometheus-compliant API, or an OpenTelemetry collector.
* **Backup and Restore**: Backup and restore your data in 1 click.
* **3GPP Compliant**: Ella Core implements 3GPP-standard interfaces and has been validated with multiple 4G and 5G radios, including integrated and software-defined RANs, commercial phones and devices. It is 5G RedCap compliant for IoT deployments.
* **Audit Logs**: At any moment, keep track of who did what and when on your network.
