Super Lightweight Deployment
A single binary that sips on resources. No Kubernetes or special hardware required. Works on both amd64 and arm systems.
High Availability
Deploy an Ella Core cluster and keep your 5G network running through hardware failures, upgrades, and network blips. Every node is active — 5G radios and subscribers can connect to any of them — and Raft consensus replicates subscribers, policies, and configuration across the cluster over mTLS.
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.
Subscriber Traffic Control
Define per-subscriber policy rules to control how traffic flows. Set rate limits, restrict destination IPs and ports, and block unwanted traffic — no external firewall needed. Inspect every flow with source and destination addresses, protocol, and allowed or dropped status. All configurable through the API or UI.
Intuitive UI
Manage your network with a clean web interface made for human beings. Configure subscribers, monitor traffic, and manage policies — all from your browser.
State of the Art Observability
Monitor your network with metrics, logs, traces, and profiles — all built in. Create custom Grafana dashboards and configure alert rules to stay ahead of issues before they impact your network.
And More ...
Native BGP
Peer directly with your upstream routers using built-in BGP. Dynamically advertise subscriber IPs as they are allocated, load peer routes, and integrate into your existing network — no external routing daemon needed.
Built-in NAT
Ella Core works out of the box without thinking about routing. Use private IP addressing for your 5G devices and let Ella Core handle the translation.
Auditable
Detailed logs and audit trails for compliance and troubleshooting. Every action is recorded so you can trace what happened, when, and by whom.
Open Source
Released under the Apache 2.0 license. Inspect every line, contribute improvements, and build on a foundation you fully control.
