As DISH Network has entered into a multi-year agreement with leading network software provider Mavenir to deliver cloud-native Open RAN software.
“Mavenir was recognized for their work with Turkcell, in testing & deploying Open RAN vRAN throughout the Turkcell Group. Mavenir have been as the forefront of the TIP Open RAN project group & continues to lead the way.” said Millad Farahani, Head of Content at Layer123.
Mavenir’s Virtualized IMS (vIMS) solution is designed to fully support LTE use cases and evolve into a fully web-scale platform that can meet the requirements enabling Turkcell to continue to lead the evolution to its 5G networks.
Mavenir has successfully deployed its next-generation voice and messaging solution as part of Rakuten Mobile’s communication app, Rakuten Link.
“We selected Mavenir as a Trusted Provider to ensure that we would have a seamless path to 5G Core while decreasing total cost of ownership,” said Jason Guzzo, General Manager, HVW.
The two companies, together, will test and deploy Open RAN vRAN within the Turkcell Group.
The collaboration will allow Mobile Network Operators (MNOs) to deploy Mavenir’s market leading 4G/5G products and applications with VMware’s container technologies on Dell Technologies’ Telco cloud/edge computing infrastructure.
The solution will support mobile services for more than 8 million customer connections. The NFV environment will include automation, life cycle Management and Orchestration capabilities from the Telefónica UNICA platform.
This will open up Local/Private 5G Network opportunities for enterprises, regional authorities and other organizations.
Mavenir will offer its full portfolio of 4G and 5G solutions for the German Private Networks market to address the needs of Enterprises, Industries and Service Providers.
