Mavenir's Virtualized IMS Solutions for VoLTE and RCS

Mavenir brings Virtualized IMS Solutions for 4G core networks, including VoLTE & RCS 5, based on the mOne® Convergence Platform.

Using VMware’s virtualization technology combined with Mavenir’s Automated mCloud™ Manager allows the creation and management of Telco grade service availability in an environment based on a wide range of off-the-shelf hardware solutions. Mavenir brings its expertise in creating highly scalable and resilient IMS solutions to the technologies that are commonly used in large scale IT data centers. These virtualized IMS solutions can be flexibly deployed to meet business needs such as multi-tenancy and capacity elasticity.  Read the press release.

Mavenir’s mOne® Convergence Platform intelligently uses standard APIs to dynamically provision additional hardware resources in response to spikes in traffic, or to share hardware resources with other applications to scale hardware utilization for scheduled peak periods. These software-based core networks, in which applications are abstracted from hardware, provide operators with a deployment model that leverages the economic benefits of cloud infrastructure, and enables them to rapidly add new communications services and scale as the market evolves.   

In the transition to 4G, operators may start with relatively small deployments distributed over multiple geographies, and seek cost-effective highly scalable and highly distributed deployment solutions.  Mavenir enables mobile service providers to use private cloud implementations to deliver next generation mobile communications including voice, video, enhanced messaging and storage of mobile subscriber content and media. These solutions allow our customers to share capacity in virtualized, cloud deployments with commercial off-the-shelf servers for all services rather than deploying dedicated proprietary hardware for each service. The key benefits of utilizing private clouds include more agile use of the network infrastructure, the ability to deploy and prove-in new services rapidly without large up-front infrastructure costs and to avoid the network upgrade costs associated with obsolescence of proprietary hardware.

Virtualization is a means for mobile operators to build the next generation core network, while fundamentally changing the cost equation that historically involved paying price premiums for proprietary HW to provide optimal, cost effective performance.
