Magma a Cloud Native Converged Core, Use Cases and Architecture
summary
Open-source Magma (BSD‑3) delivers a scale‑out converged core for LTE/5G/Wi‑Fi with a tiny edge footprint — a 4‑core Atom with 4 GB RAM runs production FWA supporting up to ~1,000 subscribers and ~12 eNodeBs. Implements standard S1/N1/N2/N3, REST APIs, Diameter federation, and uses Redis to checkpoint edge runtime state. Architecture uses a hierarchical control plane (edge + central) to enable local breakout and fast recovery, targets FWA, Wi‑Fi offload, private LTE (CBRS), and lab‑ready 5G SA by June. 2 vCPU box deployments are supported.
