Mavenir, the cloud-native network infrastructure provider building the future of networks, announced the signing of a five-year Strategic Collaboration Agreement (SCA) with Amazon Web Services (AWS) set to revolutionize the deployment of telecom workloads running on the AWS.
The strategic collaboration sees the companies jointly architect Mavenir’s technology to streamline the development, testing, integration, and application of cloud-native solutions – harnessing the high availability, scalability, and security capabilities of AWS services to create a new telco-grade deployment model that is set to transform how operators launch 5G, IMS (IP Multimedia Subsystem), Radio Access Network (RAN) and future network technologies.
Mavenir and AWS will co-invest in developing functionalities, such as enhanced dynamic autoscaling, automation, and reliability enhancements, for Communication Service Providers (CSPs) to enable migration to AWS.
The partnership transcends technical collaboration and co-development, and will also focus on accelerating market adoption.
Mavenir’s cloud-native and containerized approach to software development, paired with AWS cloud translates into a joint strategic alignment that will enable telecom operators and enterprises to explore and adapt new business models. By simplifying network deployment, lowering total cost of ownership, and automating operations, cloud-based network solutions empower telco operators to transform their traditional business models and increase profitability, while bringing new technologies and innovative products to consumer and enterprise customers.
