Mavenir announces 5G Core Network and Cloud RAN solutions providing full End-to-End 4G LTE and 5G Ready Networks

SINGAPORE
– 12 September 2017 – Mavenir, the leader in accelerating
and redefining software network transformation for Communications Service
Providers, today announced its 5G Core Network and Cloud RAN solutions
enabling Mavenir to be a full end-to-end 4G LTE and 5G, IoT network provider.

The 5G New Radio (NR) and the 5G Core element
realisation and deployment requirements are sharp departures from the
traditional approaches of legacy vendors. Mavenir has these elements,
supporting 4G LTE, already in trials and POCs in several countries.

“Mavenir
is uniquely positioned to enable customers to evolve their networks and further
the adoption of virtualisation to maximise operational efficiency, network
elasticity and Capex/ Opex savings,” said Pardeep
Kohli, President and CEO of Mavenir. “Operators can literally
get a 5G network, using their 4G expansion budgets, with Mavenir’s 5G
Ready virtualised Cloud Base Band Unit (vBBU) which can be used together with
any Remote Radio Units (RRUs).”

Mavenir’s 5G ready Cloud Native
architecture is a fully virtualised, integrated service centric framework that
is critical for highly granular scalability, elasticity, dynamic control, and
orchestration for the entire network.

Mavenir’s 5G Core Network is designed for mobile communications
systems with the functional capabilities to support high bandwidth, massive IoT
connectivity and ultra-low latency applications. Highlights:

• Cloud Native, fully virtualised, stateless
architecture with a flexible End-to-End orchestration framework to suit varied
Communication Service Providers (CSP)’s needs.

• SDN-controlled 5GC with complete
separation of both Control and User Plane framework that allows independent
dynamic scaling of control and user plane elements with intelligent packet
handling.

Mavenir’s Cloud RAN extends the virtualisation to the edge of
the network and provides strategic differentiation by enabling the RRUs to
interwork with the vBBU over ethernet Fronthaul, overcoming the traditional
constraints of Common Public Radio Interface (CPRI™)
over fibre. Highlights:

• With End-to-End network slicing support,
flexibility for the vBBU and even the Virtual Evolved Packet Core (vEPC)
co-located for Multi-access Edge Computing – the solution can
be tailored for unique service centric architectures, enriching user experience
while addressing proximity specific deployments constraints.

• Investment protection is achieved (e.g. 4G
LTE to 5G NR) through remote-upgradable Software Defined Radio capabilities.

Added Kohli, “At this point, any CSP
that is continuing to spend Capex on proprietary hardware radio, is going down
a dead end.”

Both
Mavenir’s access and core offerings, are enabled by its network functions
virtualisation and container management and orchestration platform called
CloudRange™.

Mavenir is a leader in accelerating and
redefining network transformation for Service Providers, by offering a
comprehensive product portfolio across every layer of the network
infrastructure stack. From 4G to 5G application/service layers to packet core
and RAN – Mavenir leads the way in evolved,
cloud-native networking solutions enabling innovative and secure experiences
for end users.

Through its industry first VoLTE, VoWiFi,
Advanced Messaging (RCS), Multi-ID, vEPC, Visual Voicemail and Cloud RAN
solutions, and serving 350+ CSPs across 3.5 billion subscribers, Mavenir’s
platform enables Service Providers to successfully deliver next generation
vision today and realise new revenue streams and operational efficiencies. For
