BFX Unified Signaling Core (USC)
The BroadForward BFX Unified Signaling Core (BFX USC) is a single, uniform software platform across SS7, Diameter, HTTP/2 and IT protocols, natively unifying multi-generational signaling for all BroadForward core network products across VM, cloud-native and bare-metal environments.
Platform
The platform underneath every BroadForward product.
The BroadForward BFX Unified Signaling Core (USC) is the single software platform every BroadForward product runs on. STP, DRA, SCP, SEPP, BSF, firewalls and more all sit on the same engine, provisioned and managed through one common GUI or CLI. Operators adapt signaling scenarios and anomaly handling themselves, with no coding or scripting, through functions unlocked by license.
Built around an any-to-any routing and interworking engine, it bridges every mobile core signaling generation — 2G/3G (SS7), 4G (Diameter) and 5G Service-Based Architecture (HTTP/2) — plus Fixed/Wi-Fi (RADIUS) and IT protocols (SOAP, REST, LDAP, ENUM) in a single software footprint.
- Recognized as best-in-class by the GSMA, winner of the GLOMO Award for Best Mobile & Network Software Breakthrough
- One common GUI or CLI for every on-board function, licensed per function
- Running in production at 100+ MNOs, MVNOs, IPX and IoT providers worldwide

One Platform, Every Generation
Not all operators running 2G through 5G get to retire what came before – they have to maintain multiple generations at once, often for decades to come. BFX USC is built for that reality: one converged architecture designed to natively access and manipulate SS7, Diameter, RADIUS, HTTP/2, and IT protocols side by side, instead of forcing operators to bolt together separate boxes and separate consoles for each.

Why it matters
What operators get out of one platform.
Operator self-sufficiency
Signaling scenarios and anomaly handling are adapted by your own team through the GUI, not by opening a ticket with the vendor.
Lower TCO
Consolidate what used to be five or six separate platforms onto one, cutting hardware footprint and licensing overhead.
No forced migration
Invest in 5G while keeping legacy revenue-generating functions running, on your own timeline.
Faster time-to-market
New licensed functions deploy on infrastructure and a GUI your team already knows.
