5G Virtual Access Gateway Function (vAGF)
The Benu Networks 5G virtual access gateway function (5G vAGF) offers advanced subscriber management, dynamic routing capabilities, as well as a robust set of functionalities that empower 5G service providers to manage their fixed line subscribers with their 5G core. Not only does this enable consolidated fixed and mobile billing, but more importantly, it offers the full promise of fixed mobile convergence so that the subscriber experience is consistent and seamless across home, business, and 5G networks.
As a part of the Benu SD-Edge Platform, the vAGF provides a breadth of functionalities including:

With the 5G AGF on the Benu SD-Edge Platform, service providers are able to:• Simplify Network – eliminate dependencies on
hardware and legacy equipment, plus leverage an intelligent data plane to consolidate multiple network functions
• Increase Performance – best-in-class performance at the lowest cost
• Future-Proof Network – elastic scalability and ability to add any new service slice to meet current and future customer needs
• Rapidly Realize ROI – lower total cost of ownership coupled with the ability to swiftly implement new revenue streams helps teams quickly see return on their investment
Deployment Options:The Benu Platform offers hybrid deployment options, seamlessly fitting into the network architecture already in place, for a truly frictionless virtualization option. These options include:
• Benu xMEG Appliances (xMEG-10, 100, and 200)• Bare Metal• Virtual Machine• Containers
Support for KVM, VMWare, OpenStack, and cloud-native virtual environments, and standards-based support for third-party VIMs and controllers as well as Kubernetes, with extensive interoperability testing performed at ETSI plugfests.
With flexibility in scaling from as small as 2 cores to as many as 56 physical cores, the Benu SD-Edge Platform can be deployed at the Far Edge, Near Edge, or Data center.

Data Sheet
The Benu 5G vAGF helps service providers rapidly achieve their vision for agility by streamlining packet processing as well as separating the control plane and data plane for dynamic scaling, added agility, optimal net-work performance, and cost reduction.
The flexible, open architecture supports advanced services from Benu and third-parties on top of the breadth of functionality native to the vAGF. Service providers can now consolidate functions such as TDF/DPI, BNG, WAG/TWAG, and 5G AGF into a single virtualized platform for ultra-low latency and high performance.
With the vAGF, service providers can increase revenues:• Service agility with pre-
packaged cloud-based services such as teleworker SASE
• 3rd-party service stitching • Services are not limited by
CPE capabilities, enabling consistent service offerings and user experience across the entire install base
As well as decrease costs with:• Cost-effective distributed
CUPS-based architecture• Consolidate functions (TDF/
DPI, BNG, WAG/TWAG, AGF) in single virtualized platform
• Selectively use hardware acceleration
