CTX Reflector
A SaaS-native BGP control plane purpose-built for Telcos, MNOs, MVNOs, and Service Providers deploying carrier-grade infrastructure on public cloud.
CTX Reflector delivers a full Telco control plane, not just a routing feature. Native SRv6 support, seamless communication between external Telco networks and cloud, and Telco-grade resilience with region-independent HA pairs.
Integrates natively with AWS via API: pure BGP control, no translations, no middleware. Works with Nokia, Ericsson, Cisco, 6WIND, or any CNF that speaks BGP. Vendor agnostic, 100% cloud-native.
Pricing is per instance (S, M, L tiers), not per session or per hour. Your costs stay flat while your network grows.
In production at Boost Mobile, the world's largest AWS-native 5G network, CTX Reflector delivers significant cost savings compared to legacy cloud routing solutions. AWS FTR Certified. 2+ years zero downtime in Tier-1 Telco production.
Available as Pay-As-You-Go with a free trial.

This free listing runs on a single dimension: the t4g.micro EC2 instance, billed by the hour. There are no paid tiers, add-ons, or usage charges within this listing. You pay nothing for the software itself. Your only cost structure is the underlying AWS infrastructure the instance uses. This deploys CTX Reflector as an EC2 instance, giving you a BGP control plane without a license fee. Because pricing rests on one instance type, there is nothing to scale or configure across dimensions.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers
What resource specification does the t4g.micro hourly instance provide?
The t4g.micro is a small Arm-based EC2 instance type. It runs the CTX Reflector software as an EC2 instance deployed via AMI. This size fits edge deployments, proof-of-concept work, and evaluation rather than heavy production loads. You are billed per running hour of this instance.
Am I charged when the t4g.micro instance is stopped or powered off?
The software carries no license fee on this free listing, so no software charge applies whether the instance runs or stops. A stopped instance does not accrue compute charges. Attached storage may still incur standard AWS storage fees while the instance is stopped.
What does CTX Reflector do once deployed on this instance?
CTX Reflector runs as a BGP control plane that connects carrier networks to public cloud. It speaks BGP directly to AWS via API and supports SRv6. This free listing lets you deploy and evaluate that control plane without a license charge on the software.

An AMI is a virtual image that provides the information required to launch an instance. Amazon EC2 (Elastic Compute Cloud) instances are virtual servers on which you can run your applications and workloads, offering varying combinations of CPU, memory, storage, and networking resources. You can launch as many instances from as many different AMIs as you need.

As of March, 2023 the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter (MRO) High Resolution Science Experiment (HiRISE) sensor has collected more than 5000 targeted stereopairs. During HiRISE acquisition, the Context Camera (CTX) also collects lower resolution, higher spatial extent context images. These CTX acquisitions are also targeted stereopairs. This data set contains targeted CTX DTMs and orthoimages, created using the NASA Ames Stereopipeline. These data have been created using relatively controlled CTX images that have been globally bundle adjusted using the USGS Integrated System for Imagers and Spectrometers (ISIS) jigsaw application. Relative control at global scale reduces common issues such as spacecraft jitter in the resulting DTMs. DTMs were aligned as part of 26 different groupings to the ultimate MOLA product using an iterative pc_align approach. Therefore, all DTMs and orthoimages are absolutely controlled to MOLA, a proxy product for the Mars geodetic coordinate reference frame.
