More About Mavenir
Mavenir focuses on software-based network infrastructure for mobile service providers and enterprises, with offerings that span radio access networks, core networks, and communication services. Its portfolio centers on cloud-native and containerized network functions deployed on commercial off-the-shelf hardware or public and private clouds, which aligns with telecom virtualization and disaggregation strategies.
In radio access networking, Mavenir provides ORAN and virtualized RAN solutions (radio access networking) that separate hardware and software and use open, standardized interfaces such as Open Radio Access Network (O-RAN) Alliance specifications. These offerings typically include virtualized or containerized baseband units, support for multi-vendor radio units, and centralized or distributed RAN architectures. Enterprises and operators use these capabilities to design macro and small-cell deployments, including 4G and 5G coverage, with options for centralized cloud RAN topologies.
On the core side, Mavenir supplies cloud-native packet core and IMS-based solutions (core networking) that support 4G Long Term Evolution (LTE) and 5G Standalone and Non-Standalone architectures. These functions include user plane and control plane separation for core network scaling, support for network slicing concepts in 5G environments, and adherence to 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) standards for mobility management, policy control, and subscriber data handling. Operators deploy these core functions on Kubernetes-based infrastructure or virtualized environments to run converged voice, data, and messaging services.
Mavenir’s communication platform offerings (communications platforms) include carrier-grade voice over LTE (VoLTE), voice over Wi-Fi (VoWiFi), Rich Communication Services (RCS), and multimedia messaging systems that integrate with operator core networks. These platforms are used to provide consumer and enterprise voice, video, messaging, and collaboration services, exposed through APIs and standard telecom protocols such as Session Initiation Protocol (SIP), Diameter, and HTTP-based interfaces. Service providers integrate these platforms into existing BSS/OSS stacks and customer-facing applications.
For network operations and management, Mavenir provides automation, orchestration, and analytics tools (network operations and management) that support lifecycle management of virtualized and containerized network functions. These components are typically aligned with ETSI Network Functions Virtualization (NFV), Kubernetes, and related cloud-native frameworks, enabling Continuous Deployment (CD), scaling, and monitoring of telecom workloads. Capabilities often include closed-loop automation, fault and performance management, and configuration management integrated with multi-vendor environments.
In the enterprise domain, Mavenir offers private network solutions (private cellular networking) that use 4G and 5G technologies to deliver dedicated wireless connectivity for industrial sites, campuses, and other institutional environments. These deployments can include on-premises (on-prem) RAN and core components, Subscriber Identity Module (SIM) and subscriber management, and integration with enterprise IT and Operational technology (OT) systems. Across its portfolio, Mavenir positions its software as building blocks for open, programmable, and cloud-aligned mobile networks that fit into categories such as radio access networking, core networking, communications platforms, network operations and management, and private cellular networking.
