The present disclosure describes solutions for seamless enterprise network integration with operator networks. Enterprise networks can include full network resources to provide a complete, isolated network. The enterprise network can also host mobile network operator users with edge managers acting as routing agents. Moreover, when an enterprise moves outside of the enterprise network, the enterprise user can still access the enterprise network via an operator network without compromising security, privacy, and reliability. A neutral hosted core can be used as a routing agent to the enterprise network from one or more operator networks.
