Mavenir collaborates with Red Hat to launch Integrated AI Platform to turn operators into AI service providers

Mavenir said it developed an Integrated AI Platform with Red Hat that is designed for network operators to monetize AI through token-based consumption and to govern access to AI models. The platform targets on-premises deployment while pairing model routing with service assurance and billing controls.

As described, the platform focuses on production-grade requirements that operators typically manage in other monetization workflows, including token-accurate metering, carrier-grade service assurance, and billing integration. It also supports more than one deployment approach rather than relying on a single operating mode for all use cases.

Functionally, the platform uses Red Hat AI as a unified foundation and runs on Kubernetes infrastructure powered by Red Hat OpenShift. Mavenir described sovereign-first architecture that supports on-premises models and operator-built small language models, with selective, policy-governed connectivity to frontier models. It also includes agentic operations and orchestration, intelligent model routing and token optimization, AI PaaS and MLOps capabilities powered by Red Hat AI, and zero trust identity, authentication, and AI security supported on carrier-grade container infrastructure.

The Integrated AI Platform supports three operating models: an Enterprise AI Platform for metered access to AI models, compute, and AI tooling for enterprise customers; AI Grid Infrastructure where operators host network-embedded AI applications and third-party workloads for AI grid deployments; and Operator AI Services where operators run the platform for subscriber-facing AI products and services, including token-billed assistant plans and operator-branded applications. Bejoy Pankajakshan of Mavenir said, “Operators are watching AI revenues flow to hyperscalers and third-party platforms while they provide the connectivity that makes it all possible. This changes today. The Integrated AI Platform developed in collaboration between Mavenir and Red Hat gives operators the infrastructure to become AI service providers in their own right.” Chris Wright of Red Hat added, “Working with Mavenir, we’re delivering an integrated solution supported on the Kubernetes-native foundation powered by Red Hat AI, which brings MLOps, vLLM inference and AgentOps capabilities.”
