RICHARDSON, Texas, Sept 8 (Bernama-GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Mavenir, the cloud-native network infrastructure provider, today announced a significant expansion of its cloud-native Packet and Voice Core solutions into Alaska through agreements with Bristol Bay Cellular and the Rural Independent Network Alliance (RINA). This fully cloud-native mobile core deployment in Alaska, brings advanced 4G capabilities and a seamless evolution path to 5G standalone (SA) to some of the most remote communities in the United States.
As part of this collaboration, a new carrier-grade cloud-native core platform will be deployed in Anchorage, Alaska. This platform will support localized mobile traffic for RINA partners in the state, including Bristol Bay Cellular, while also acting as a redundant core for other RINA member networks across the U.S., complementing the existing deployment in Utah. To help ensure full alignment and future-readiness, Mavenir will also upgrade the Utah-based core platform, originally deployed for RINA in 2022, to the latest version, ensuring seamless operation and unified management across both sites.
