F5 helps service providers modernize 5G/6G, fixed-line, and AI infrastructure with cloud-native application delivery and security all delivered via the F5 Application Delivery and Security Platform (ADSP). Built on F5 BIG-IP Cloud-Native Edition and a unified Kubernetes traffic layer, F5 delivers carrier-grade L3–L7 traffic management, security, observability, and high-performance hardware—simplifying operational complexity.
Accelerate time to revenue with cloud-native networking and security that simplify service rollout across core, cloud, and edge.
Reduce OpEx and CapEx by consolidating application delivery, security, and observability into one scalable platform.
Unlock new monetization models with true multi-tenancy designed for carrier-grade managed services and AI workloads.
Lower operational risk with embedded L3–L7 security and deep visibility built for 5G, AI, and high-performance networks.
5G and emerging 6G services depend on highly distributed edge deployments that demand consistent performance, strong tenant isolation, and scalable subscriber traffic management.
Service providers must efficiently manage IP addressing and deliver N6 LAN services—such as internet access, enterprise connectivity, and application steering—while operating seamlessly across core, cloud, and edge environments.
Scalable, multi-tenant ingress and egress control for Kubernetes clusters.
Subscriber-aware carrier-grade CNFs for edge and N6 LAN traffic.
IPv4 address abstraction and logging for large-scale N6 subscriber traffic.
Inline firewall and DDoS defense for service provider edge and core.
Inline firewall and DDoS defense for service provider edge and core.
Real-time subscriber and application traffic visibility for Kubernetes and CNFs.
As service providers shift to cloud-native managed services, they must deliver application security and protection on shared, distributed infrastructure—without compromising tenant isolation, performance, or policy consistency.
Customers also expect fast onboarding, predictable results, and consistent security across cloud, edge, and on-prem environments.

Always-on DDoS protection with centralized edge visibility and enforcement.
End-to-end API discovery, security, and governance for managed services.
Protect apps and APIs from bots without sacrificing user experience.
Service providers are expected to deliver security as an always-on, managed service that scales with apps, users, and traffic.
Cloud-native architectures, encrypted traffic, and distributed workloads expand the attack surface and make bolt-on security costly and ineffective.
By embedding security directly into traffic flows, providers gain consistent policy enforcement across ingress, egress, and service-to-service traffic—improving visibility, reducing operational overhead, and enabling security as a scalable, revenue-generating service.
Expert management and optimization of F5 products, delivering continuous monitoring and superior application performance.
Neocloud providers and enterprises building AI factories must operate large-scale, shared AI infrastructure as a production revenue platform—not an experiment.
These environments demand extreme performance, strong tenant isolation, and end-to-end security across distributed, GPU-accelerated systems.
Traditional networking and security tools add latency and limit visibility into AI traffic and multi-tenant access. A unified traffic, security, and observability foundation maximizes GPU usage, protects workloads, and scales AI training, inference, and data movement efficiently.
Scalable, multi-tenant ingress and egress control for Kubernetes clusters.
Inline firewall and DDoS defense for service provider edge and core.
Subscriber-aware carrier-grade CNFs for edge and N6 LAN traffic.
F5 enables service providers to deliver high-scale, subscriber-aware N6-LAN services between the mobile core and external networks.
Using cloud-native Firewall, CGNAT, DNS, and integrated policy enforcement, F5 normalizes subscriber traffic, secures applications, and applies consistent controls without adding latency.
As a result, providers gain the performance, visibility, and operational simplicity needed to scale 5G N6-LAN services confidently across core, cloud, and edge.
