W-AGF
Wireline Access Gateway Function
Convergence node connecting fixed residential broadband (fiber/DOCSIS) to the 5G Core network.
Technical Explanation
W-AGF supports 5G-Wireline Convergence (5G-WWC) specified by 3GPP and Broadband Forum (BBF). It connects fixed Optical Network Terminals (ONTs) or Residential Gateways directly to 5GC over N2 and N3, unifying mobile and fixed broadband billing, QoS, and slicing under a single 5GC core.
Key Functions
- Converges fixed fiber/broadband access with the 5G Core network
- Standardizes 3GPP and Broadband Forum (BBF) fixed-mobile convergence
- Enables unified subscriber profiles, billing, and slicing for fixed & mobile
