Neutral Host

Flexible, Multi-Operator Connectivity. One Shared Infrastructure Platform

A neutral host network is a private network that allows multiple service providers to share the network’s services.

Build your neutral host network with a core that supports your choice of radio vendors.
AxyomCore’s Small Cell Core provides the core network and gateway capabilities to support shared mobile infrastructure, helping neutral host providers expand connectivity with the flexibility and operational confidence their business requires.

Built for the Demands of Neutral Host

Reliable mobile connectivity is essential in offices, retail spaces, transport hubs and public venues. Yet deploying separate infrastructure for every mobile operator can make coverage expensive and difficult to extend.

Neutral host models allow multiple operators to use shared infrastructure, spreading investment across participating providers and reducing duplication.

For the neutral host provider, success depends on attracting operators, selecting the right equipment and building a network that can grow. The underlying core must support those choices.

Security Gateway

The Security Gateway (SeGW) secures connections between small cells and operator cores over shared or untrusted IP networks. It terminates encrypted IPsec tunnels and uses certificate-based IKEv2 authentication to verify each small cell before allowing access. Pre-integrated with the HeNB-GW, it forwards authenticated small cell traffic to the gateway.

Flexible Support for MOCN and MORAN

AxyomCore supports multiple RAN-sharing models to meet different operator and infrastructure requirements.

MORAN enables each mobile network operator to maintain its own dedicated radio carrier while sharing the underlying infrastructure.

MOCN enables multiple mobile network operators to share the same radio carrier while maintaining independent core networks.

With support for both models, AxyomCore gives operators and infrastructure providers the flexibility to build neutral host networks around their specific requirements.

As wireless connectivity demands continue to grow, neutral host networks provide a scalable and cost-effective approach to infrastructure deployment.

With a proven, interoperable, and radio-agnostic architecture, AxyomCore enables infrastructure providers to build and operate shared wireless networks across a wide range of environments, including:

Build a flexible foundation that can evolve alongside changing operator and market requirements.
