Partnership provides Communications Service
Providers (CSPs) with path to commercial deployments of M-CORD
Radisys® Corporation (NASDAQ: RSYS), the global leader of open
telecom solutions, and Mavenir, the leader in accelerating and
redefining software network transformation for Communications
Service Providers, today announced that they are working together
to enable CSPs to commercially deploy an M-CORD (Mobile Central
Office Re-architected as a Datacenter) open reference solution.
Commercially deployable M-CORD solutions will accelerate new
innovative use cases, agile service delivery, and ultimately a new
value chain for CSPs.
News Highlights:
- M-CORD is an open reference
implementation for mobile wireless access built on the pillars of
open source SDN, NFV and cloud technologies. As the emerging
platform for 5G, M-CORD allows CSPs to provide the capabilities
needed to unlock innovation across the open networking ecosystem
with cloud economies.
- Mavenir’s virtualized Evolved Packet
Core (vEPC) is an innovative microservice-based NFV-ready EPC that
has been designed from the ground up to operate in virtualized
environments. The vEPC, with a split user plane and control plane
(CUPS) can scale independently in throughput, transaction rate, and
session capacity, providing CSPs with the most flexibility at the
lowest total cost of ownership.
- Radisys, as the premier solution
integrator of M-CORD, has now integrated Mavenir’s carrier-grade
vEPC into its M-CORD distribution. Benchmarking of the solution on
40 cores on M-CORD reference platform shows a performance of
15Gbps+.
- Mavenir’s vEPC integrated with
Mavenir’s and Radisys’ field-hardened and globally deployed LTE
Cloud RAN solution for virtual BaseBand Units (vBBUs) and bundled
with Radisys’ custom development and additional integration
services results in a turnkey M-CORD solution that provides CSPs
with a viable path to commercial deployment of M-CORD with a
carrier-grade EPC and RAN.
- Radisys also offers M-CORD development
PODs for CSPs to deploy their own proof-of-concepts. The entire
M-CORD solution can run on Radisys’ open compute platform –
DCEngine™ which is compliant to the OCP-ACCEPTED™ CG-OpenRack-19
specification – or on CSPs’ preferred hardware platform.
“At Mavenir, we’re committed to helping CSPs virtualize their
network infrastructure to enable scalability, agility and the
economies of the cloud, and bringing our vEPC to the M-CORD
framework supports this mission,” said Ashok Khuntia, GM and
executive vice president of Access Products Division, Mavenir. “We
have a long-standing relationship with Radisys and are excited to
work together to take M-CORD from lab trials to commercial
deployments. Radisys’ unsurpassed systems integration expertise is
critical to bringing the CORD vision to life.”
“We’re pleased to partner with Mavenir to advance CSPs’ ability
to break vendor lock-in, accelerate service innovation and lower
CapEx and OpEx through commercial deployment of the M-CORD
architecture,” said Neeraj Patel, vice president and general
manager, MobilityEngine, Radisys. “The combination of Mavenir’s
carrier-grade vEPC and our systems integration expertise for M-CORD
will accelerate CSPs path to true network transformation.”
