Mavenir’s Role in Enabling the Cloud Native Telco

Mavenir’s chief technology and strategy officer, Bejoy Pankajakshan, outlines what telcos need for a successful cloud-native strategy.

He describes how operators benefit from embracing cloud native and how Mavenir is helping its customers enter a new era of operations and service enablement with its broad portfolio which, of course, includes Open RAN.

In this company blog he defines Three Rules of Success in Building a Cloud-Native Telco

• Addressing workforce challenges – The skill sets required to run the new cloud-native network are significantly different from the existing ones.
• Embracing new models – Telcos should be mindful of the commercial models that go along with the support and the licensing model associated with being a perpetual or recurring revenue basis.
• Tracking performance boost – The telcos must monitor the change in network performance in the cloud-native environment vis-à-vis the traditional network.

Mavenir offers Cloud Native telco products such as an IMS, and recently they joined forces with VMware to deliver 5G Core on the Telco Cloud Platform.
