Abstract

Some embodiments provide a method for implementing a software-defined private mobile network (SD-PMN) for an entity. At a physical location of the entity, the method deploys a first set of control plane components for the SD-PMN, the first set of control plane components including a security gateway, a user-plane function (UPF), an AMF (access and mobility management function), and an SMF (session management function). At an SD-WAN (software-defined wide area network) PoP (point of presence) belonging to a provider of the SD-PMN, the method deploys a second set of control plane components for the SD-PMN that includes a subscriber database that stores data associated with users of the SD-PMN. The method uses an SD-WAN edge router located at the physical location of the entity and a SD-WAN gateway located at the SD-WAN PoP to establish a connection from the physical location of the entity to the SD-WAN PoP.
