Mavenir, a leading provider of cloud-native network infrastructure, has been recognized for its excellence in artificial intelligence (AI), receiving the Advancing Artificial Intelligence award at the 2024 Global Telecoms (Glotel) Awards. The award honors Mavenir’s Network Intelligence as a Service (NIaaS), a solution that leverages cutting-edge AI and machine learning (ML) to enhance telecom operations and improve the overall user experience.
Mavenir’s NIaaS is designed to optimize resource efficiency and reduce operational costs, playing a key role in the company’s comprehensive portfolio of solutions aimed at powering autonomous 5G networks. As telecommunications networks become more complex, the need for autonomous capabilities has intensified. Unlike previous generations where service delivery primarily catered to human users, 5G and future networks must support a diverse range of non-human devices, each with distinct requirements for bandwidth, latency, and usage patterns.
To meet the growing complexity of these networks, Mavenir’s autonomous network solutions incorporate industry-leading open-source frameworks, including Kubernetes (K8s), container-based cloud environments, GitOps-driven automation, and advanced AI/ML algorithms. These innovations are specifically optimized for the needs of communication service providers (CSPs), enabling rapid deployment and unparalleled operational agility.
In commercial use, Mavenir’s NIaaS has significantly enhanced the decision-making and problem-solving abilities of network operations teams. The platform empowers telco personnel to improve network productivity, enforce service level agreements, and enhance user experiences, all while optimizing resource allocation. A key feature of NIaaS is its user-friendly visualization layer, which presents the outputs of AI models in an easily interpretable format. This allows operations staff, even without a data science background, to make informed decisions based on the AI’s insights.
Additionally, NIaaS creates a “digital twin” of the operational network—a virtual model that simulates the live network. Using generative AI models, this digital twin serves as a safe testing ground to evaluate proposed optimizations before they are implemented on the actual network, reducing operational risk.
Brandon Larson, Senior Vice President and General Manager of Mavenir’s Cloud, AI & IMS Business Strategy, emphasized the company’s dedication to advancing AI solutions for the telecom industry: “The future of telecom lies in autonomous networks, and service providers must embrace AI to stay competitive. Mavenir’s NIaaS is helping to shape this future by enabling CSPs to offer enhanced services, improve user experiences, and achieve greater operational efficiency—all at a lower cost.”
Mavenir’s award-winning solution demonstrates the transformative power of AI in telecom, positioning the company at the forefront of innovation in the rapidly evolving 5G and beyond landscape.
