MAVENIR OPEN vRAN OFFERS STATE OF THE ART CLOUD NATIVE RADIO ACCESS NETWORK WHICH BRINGS NETWORK INTELLIGENCE, ELASTICITY, FLEXIBILITY, AND BEST-IN-CLASS AUTOMATION
Mavenir’s award-winning Open vRAN solution leverages open interfaces, virtualization, and web-scale containerization, which can result in a 37% savings in TCO over 5 years. (Source: Senza Fili 2021).
Mavenir Open vRAN is architected using cloud-native, containerized microservices, providing a robust foundation for a highly automated and intelligent RAN. This design supports both Non-Standalone (NSA) and Standalone (SA) 5G deployments, enabling flexible and scalable network evolution.
Mavenir RAN solution caters to both Terrestrial network (5G NSA & SA) as well as Non-Terrestrial network (4G & 5G) deployment. Mavenir is among the first few RAN vendors to commercially deploy cloud native Standalone 5G RAN in a large scale.
- Mavenir leads the industry in implementing the D2 interface, which unlocks advanced capabilities such as carrier aggregation and dynamic spectrum sharing, even in complex inter-vDU and inter-server scenarios.
- Performance benchmarks have demonstrated that Mavenir Open vRAN matches or surpasses the capabilities of traditional, proprietary RAN systems. However, the true strength of Mavenir Open vRAN lies in its intelligence and automation. By deploying applications closer to the edge, Mavenir enables fine-grained network optimization through machine learning (ML)-driven analytics.
- Real-world deployments in commercial networks using live traffic data have shown that Mavenir’s RAN Intelligent Controller delivers significant improvements in handover success rates, throughput, spectral efficiency, and energy savings—far outperforming legacy approaches.
Mavenir RAN
EXAMPLE DEPLOYMENT
Cloud computing shifts network functions from dedicated hardware platforms into virtualized software components that can be implemented on hardware, which can be pooled in centralized data centers. Mavenir’s Open vRAN is O-RAN compliant, fully containerized solution works on open interfaces supporting O-RAN Split 7.2x and Split 2. It further disaggregates into Distributed Unit (DU) and Centralized Unit (CU). These entities work as containerized network functions running on Commercial Off the Shelf (COTS) hardware. Designed to support multiple Fronthaul splits simultaneously – making the RAN solution an ideal choice for a vendor-agnostic and future-proof strategy.
The Open RAN subsystems consists of:
- The Mavenir CU supports PDCP and RRC layers and runs on COTS hardware which can then be deployed on public or private cloud. It has built-in high availability support so there is minimal downtime in case of any CU instance failure. The CU can handle multiple DUs provides in a Split 2 architecture the same type of latencies that a standard S1 radio could support today. As the Mavenir CU is virtualized and containerized, it can be scaled up if the buffer queue becomes an issue for a particular CU.
- The Mavenir DU supports RLC, MAC and Hi-PHY layers which are usually deployed at cell-sites or local data centers.
- Strong Third party RU Ecosystem providing customers with the largest portfolio of O-RAN compliant radio products spanning micro, macro, mmWave and mMIMO.
Mavenir Open vRAN solution is completely flexible and supports a number of deployment options including:
- CU in the public cloud and DU in a private cloud
- The CU at the data center with the DU at the cell site
- DU and CU collocated on the cell site
- CU and DU in the data center
- CU and UPF can be deployed on the same servers for MEC deployments
- Hyperconverged AI deployment with RAN and UPF at the edge.
MAVENIR RAN AND PUBLIC CLOUD
Mavenir is the first vRAN vendor in the industry to productize RAN deployment on the public cloud . Our unique strategy brings best practices from the hyperscale cloud and IT industries for rapid design, development, testing and rollouts. Mavenir’s cloud native tools (mCMS and MTCIL) use native kubernetes constructs to provide seamless configuration management of RAN workloads to support the placement of workloads at the right location.

RAN INTELLIGENT CONTROLLER (RIC)
To help mobile operators make the best use of network resources, Mavenir developed the Open RAN Intelligent Controller (RIC), uniquely designed with deep knowledge of the Radio Access Network (RAN) domain, Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning (AI/ML), and cloud-native, software-defined networking. The Mavenir RIC adds strategic value and differentiation to the operator network by providing a framework that automates RAN operational workflows while also optimizing end-to-end network performance.
