Mavenir, the cloud-native network infrastructure provider, announced a significant five-year Strategic Collaboration Agreement (SCA) with Amazon Web Services (AWS). This partnership is set to transform the deployment of telecom workloads on AWS, creating a new telco-grade deployment model that leverages the cloud’s high availability, scalability, and security.

A Strategic Move Towards Cloud-Native Telecom Solutions

The collaboration between Mavenir and AWS aims to streamline the development, testing, integration, and application of cloud-native solutions. This initiative will enhance the capabilities of 5G, IMS (IP Multimedia Subsystem), Radio Access Network (RAN), and future network technologies, marking a pivotal shift in how operators launch and manage their network infrastructures.

Bejoy Pankajakshan, EVP, Chief Technology and Strategy Officer at Mavenir, emphasized the transformative nature of this partnership: “Building on our long-term partnership and individual leadership in cloud technology, Mavenir and AWS are now working together to leverage the key attributes of the public cloud to enable unprecedented adaptability of telco workloads.” He further added, “We believe that this partnership will revolutionize the telco industry, allowing us to deliver innovative, scalable, and secure solutions that will shape the future of cloud-native services.”

Co-Investment and Development Goals

Mavenir and AWS will co-invest in developing functionalities such as enhanced dynamic autoscaling, automation, and reliability enhancements. These advancements are designed to support Communication Service Providers (CSPs) in their migration to AWS, optimizing performance and reducing the total cost of ownership dramatically.

Accelerating Market Adoption

The partnership extends beyond technical collaboration and co-development. Aniruddho Basu, EVP of Emerging Business and Partnerships at Mavenir, highlighted the market strategy aspect: “As partners, we will also collaborate on joint market development—with clear targets set to accelerate market adoption, bringing the value and power of cloud-based network solutions to telcos and their customers across the globe, leveraging our combined market channels and customer reach.”

Impact on Telecom Operators and Enterprises

This strategic alignment between Mavenir’s cloud-native software development approach and AWS’s robust cloud infrastructure 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 introducing new technologies and innovative products to both consumer and enterprise customers.
