5G Standalone (SA) Core Network Locations

This dataset provides detailed, location-specific information on 5G Standalone (SA) core network element deployments, including AMF, SMF, and UPF placements across centralized, distributed, and edge facilities. It covers data center locations, cloud infrastructure types, and service-based architecture topologies, making it ideal for network planning, optimization, and regulatory compliance analysis.

Behind this dataset

Same schema. As many rows as you need.

These 500 rows came out of a blueprint — 18 columns with generation rules behind each one. Open it in Data Factory to retune a column, add your own, wire in foreign keys, and run it at the size you actually need.

Rules it was built with
  • Network function instance ID (AMF, SMF, UPF, UDM, etc.)
  • Deployment location: central data center, regional edge, far edge (MEC)
  • Data center facility: operator-owned, colocation (Equinix, Digital Realty), hyperscale cloud
  • Cloud infrastructure: bare metal, VMs (VMware, OpenStack), containers (Kubernetes)
  • UPF placement strategy: centralized anchor, distributed (regional), edge (ultra-low latency)
  • Service-based architecture: RESTful APIs, HTTP/2, OAuth 2.0 security
  • Network slicing support and slice-specific NF instances
  • Control and user plane separation (CUPS) for flexible scaling
