1. A gateway comprising:
a Radio Access Network (RAN) interface for communicating with the at least one RAN;
a core network interface for communicating with the at least one core network; and
a processor in communication with the RAN interface and the core network interface, the processor configured to:
process 4G signaling received from the at least one RAN on the RAN interface and provide 5G core signaling to at least one core network; and
process 5G signaling received from the at least one core on the core network interface and provide 4G RAN signaling to the at least one RAN,
wherein the core network is a 5G core network.
