In 2012, CERN selected the xTCA Test Tools developed by Polaris Networks for the internal testing of their xTCA systems, including those of the Large Hadron Collider.[1]

In April 2013, Polaris Networks announced the cloud-based deployment of their NetEPC, a carrier-grade EPC which combines the functionality of the MME, SGW, PGW, HSS and PCRF into a single high-availability platform.[2] And in June 2013, the Public Safety Communications Research Program used the Polaris Networks NetEPC to demonstrate deployable LTE at the Public Safety Broadband Stakeholder Conference in Westminster, Colorado.[3] In June 2018, Polaris Networks and Nemergent Solutions completed interoperability tests between Polaris Networks’ NetEPC and Nemergent's Mission Critical Services (MCS) application server.[4][5]
