Platform › MCX Core
MCX Core — the multi-host mobile core network.
The platform layer that connects MVNOs to Nigerian host MNOs, engineered for multi-host arrangements, providing voice, SMS, and data connectivity. 3GPP compliant and supports 2G, 3G, 4G, and 5G spectrums.
Core network elements

MCX Core is built around four functional families covering thirteen core network elements. Click any element to expand the detail.
Network Architecture
MCX Core Network Architecture.
End-to-end core network covering thirteen named elements across four functional families. 3GPP compliant. 2G, 3G, 4G, and 5G spectrum support. Engineered for MVNO scale from setup through scale-out.
Architectural principles.
- •Designed for scale — supports MVNOs from setup through scale-out with horizontal scaling at each functional family.
- •Designed for interconnection — every element configured for multi-host MNO arrangements, primary-plus-backup routing, and transparent host transitions at the platform layer.
- •Designed for service diversity — supports the wide range of services modern MVNOs deliver, from basic voice through advanced VAS and multi-experience B2B2X bundles.
MCX Core is built on Vivada, the MVNO core network technology platform from Wireless Technology Labs (WTL Belgium). WTL is a Belgium-headquartered core network specialist with two decades of telecom deployment experience and a Tier-1 European core network footprint.
