Bejoy Pankajakshan, Webinar: The Future of Networks: Maximizing the Gains of Interoperable, AI-Driven and Cloud-Native Networks
Wednesday, 15 November, 15:00 GMT
Is Open vRAN Power Efficient? Join Mavenir’s Stefano Cantarelli and ABI Research’s Dimitris Mavrakis for this live recorded webinar and in-depth discussion.
Mavenir’s Bejoy Pankajakshan outlines how adding intelligence to the edge of the network unleashes a global reach and enables new service opportunities.
Mavenir’s Paul Jesemann, Regional CTO APAC, spoke about the complexities and nuances of “How to Design and Build Private Networks” at Light Reading’s Asia Tech 2022 Digital Symposium.
Open RAN is bridging developing markets and underserved areas with network access. For MNOs it is an opportunity to experiment with new vendors and architectures, open new business opportunities but also find a new purpose to Open RAN.
Watch as John Baker, SVP of Ecosystem Business Development, discusses how three models stand out regarding RAN transformation: the deployments of virtual, Cloud and Open RAN in different environments and the different locations of DU and CU will introduce multiple new use cases.
For operators, hosting radio workloads in cloud environments can facilitate a host of optimizations based on near-real-time network telemetry and the ability to act on that data. For enterprise customers focused not on technology but on use cases and attendant outcomes, Open RAN is the path forward—complex problems require tailored solutions.
In this Mobile World Live (MWL) webinar Mavenir’s Sandeep Singh, SVP, GM, Digital Business Enablement and Srinivas V Chitiveli, VP, Product Management of AI Applications will outline how Mobile Network Operators (MNOs) can maximise return on 5G investments by covering two key topics.
Listen as TM Forum speaks with Dish’s Marc Rouanne and Mavenir’s John Baker among others in a panel discussion and a pioneering approach to technology and partners.
In this Sparring Partners, Monica Paolini, Senza Fili, and Dejan Leskaroski, Mavenir talk about the tradeoffs of an early versus late transition to the converged 5G SA core.
Learn how enterprises are exploring advanced AI solutions made possible by 5G to enhance performance and enable faster, smarter decisions.
