The ONF launched OMEC in 2019, making available the first production grade, disaggregated, control-user plane separated (CUPS), 3GPP-compliant open source mobile core solution that can run on containers, virtual machines or bare metal. It provides a cornerstone for the ONF's COMAC (Converged Multi-Access and Core) project, developed to bring convergence to operators' mobile and broadband access and core networks. It is based on and paired with COMAC Reference Design, which is now available for ONF member review and feedback.
T-Mobile Poland is using OMEC's gateway control, user plane and billing components to deliver a fixed-mobile substitution service to its customers. The OMEC components provide all the necessary features and standard 3GPP interfaces for interconnecting to T-Mobile's existing base stations, mobility management entities and lawful intercept platforms.
