iplook.com IPLOOK Technologies IPLOOK Networks [email protected] Company Profile

IPLOOK Networks Co., Ltd (branded as IPLOOK) is a global 3G /4G / 5G core network and solution provider. Since 2012, it starts to develop its own core network products. Its main products include MME/SGW/P- GW/HSS/HLR/GGSN/STP/DRA/IMS and 5G related products, like compact 5GC, AMF/SMF/AUSF/UDM/UPF/PCF/NRF/NEF/NSSF, NB-IoT, MEC GW etc.

With the NFV-based proposition, those products could be deployed on virtual platform or X86 servers as it's required. Moreover, the ﬂexibility of its marketing strategy is also a very competitive highlight. The operator could start up with a small capacity to decrease CAPEX at the ﬁrst stage.

In terms of the development of these years, IPLOOK has more than 30 million mobile users or devices all over the world. They are mainly from WISPs (like Connect, K-Net, GB solution), MVNOs(like Yellow Mobile, NPN), MNOs(like Tokelau telecom) and some vertical networks. In the future development, it will keep progressive and make its clients lead into the 5G era. Please contact us by [email protected] for more information. Customers & Partners
