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. ### Package name * ella-core --- ### License * BUSL-1.1 --- ### Last updated * Yesterday - 1.18/stable * Yesterday - 1.18/candidate --- ### Websites * [ellanetworks.com](https://ellanetworks.com/ "https://ellanetworks.com/") * [docs.ellanetworks.com](https://docs.ellanetworks.com/ "https://docs.ellanetworks.com/") --- ### Source code * [github.com/ellanetworks/core](https://github.com/ellanetworks/core "https://github.com/ellanetworks/core") --- ### Report a bug * [github.com/ellanetworks/core/issues](https://github.com/ellanetworks/core/issues "https://github.com/ellanetworks/core/issues") --- ##### Report a Snap Store violation * [Report this Snap](https://snapcraft.io/install/ella-core/arch#report-snap-modal) --- ## Enable snaps on Arch Linux and install Ella Core Snaps are applications packaged with all their dependencies to run on all popular Linux distributions from a single build. They update automatically and roll back gracefully. Snaps are discoverable and installable from the [Snap Store](https://snapcraft.io/store), an app store with an audience of millions. ### Enable snapd On Arch Linux, snap can be installed from the [Arch User Repository (AUR).](https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/snapd/) The [manual build process](https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Arch_User_Repository#Installing_packages) is the Arch-supported install method for AUR packages, and you’ll need the [prerequisites](https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Arch_User_Repository#Prerequisites) installed before you can install any AUR package. You can then install snap with the following: ``` git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/snapd.git cd snapd makepkg -si ``` Once installed, the *systemd* unit that manages the main snap communication socket needs to be enabled: ``` sudo systemctl enable --now snapd.socket ``` If [AppArmor](https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/AppArmor) is enabled in your system, enable the service which loads AppArmor profiles for snaps: ``` sudo systemctl enable --now snapd.apparmor.service ``` To enable *classic* snap support, enter the following to create a symbolic link between `/var/lib/snapd/snap` and `/snap`: ``` sudo ln -s /var/lib/snapd/snap /snap ``` Either log out and back in again, or restart your system, to ensure snap’s paths are updated correctly. ### Install Ella Core To install Ella Core, simply use the following command: ``` sudo snap install ella-core ``` ### Other popular snaps… [See more...](https://snapcraft.io/search?categories=featured) [See more in Featured](https://snapcraft.io/search?categories=featured) ### More things to do… #### [Get the snap store](https://snapcraft.io/snap-store) Browse and find snaps from the convenience of your desktop using the snap store snap. #### [Learn more about snaps](https://snapcraft.io/docs) Interested to find out more about snaps?
