'''Software Defined Mobile Networking''' ('''SDMN''') is an approach to the design of mobile networks where all protocol-specific features are implemented in software, maximizing the use of generic and commodity hardware and software in both the [[core network]] and [[radio access network]].

== History ==

Through the 20th century, telecommunications technology was driven by hardware development, with most functions implemented in special-purpose equipment.

In the early 2000’s, generally available CPU’s became cheap enough to enable commercial [[software defined radio]] (SDR) technology and [[softswitch|softswitches]]es.

SDMN extends these trends into the design of mobile networks, moving nearly all network functions into software.
