Mavenir, the network software provider building the future of networking with cloud-native solutions that run on any cloud, and Norwegian IceNorway, the third-largest mobile operator, announced the full implementation of Mavenir’s end-to-end cloud-native IMS (IP Multimedia Subsystem) solution. This strategic project expansion is made possible in collaboration with Red Hat and positions Mavenir as a complete data and voice core partner for Ice Norway.
IceNorway has previously selected Mavenir’s Converged Packet Core solution to power its 4G and 5G networks, leveraging Mavenir’s Webscale Platform (MWP) for fast and agile delivery of new applications. With Mavenir replacing the existing IMS provider, IceNorway completes its transition to cloud-native cutting-edge technology and will be able to offer market-leading 5G services.
Mavenir’s cloud-native IMS (supporting Voice over LTE (VoLTE), Voice over New Radio (VoNR) or 5G Voice, and Voice over Wi-Fi (VoWi-Fi)) delivers multiple generations of voice with a single IMS investment. services, guarantee service parity, and facilitate voice continuity between 4G and 5G. Mavenir’s cloud-native IMS leverages a mobile-first architecture and works on any cloud (no need to migrate from legacy hardware platforms or fixed IMS) to support critical Provides a high degree of fault tolerance for applications.
Mavenir’s cloud-native IMS core network infrastructure provides next-generation communications services, enabling users to collaborate using voice, video, and messaging solutions. No matter where a subscriber is located, whether connected directly to a cellular network or via Wi-Fi, Mavenir’s solutions provide a consistent user experience.
