Mavenir, the cloud-native network infrastructure provider building the future of networking, announced the 4th generation Intel Xeon Scalable with Intel vRAN Boost. – Announced the release of a cutting-edge open vRAN solution powered by processors. It is a cloud-native solution that delivers high performance and energy efficiency for compute-intensive mobile network applications. The move to Intel’s latest processors for vRAN marks the latest solution optimization for Mavenir, which has led the momentum in open RAN through three generations of Intel Xeon Scalable processors.
Powered by 4th generation Intel Xeon Scalable processors and Intel vRAN Boost, Mavenir’s open vRAN solution combines performance, functionality, and artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) for next-generation 4G and 5G networks. This is an exceptional solution with a complete set of applications. Mavenir has a close and long-term technology collaboration with Intel, and the adoption of Intel processors will enable the development of more efficient and cost-effective RANs. These optimizations are achieved by making more processing power available, which in turn reduces the number of cores and servers required per cell site.
Mavenir’s open vRAN solution consists of virtualized distributed distributed units (vDUs) and centralized units (vCUs), supporting all mobile network generations (2G, 4G, 5G) and providing complete baseband unit (BBU) functions. The solution is cloud-native and can be easily deployed in private, hybrid, or public clouds based on Intel architecture. Mavenir’s vDU incorporates Intel’s FlexRAN reference software, which leverages modular virtual control that works with well-defined interfaces to enable flexible and programmable control of Layer 1 wireless infrastructure.

Based on 4th generation Intel Xeon Scalable processors with Intel vRAN Boost, fully integrated vRAN acceleration eliminates the need for external acceleration cards and is ideal for applications such as Massive MIMO (mMIMO) Delivers up to 2x more capacity and 20% less power1 compared to previous generation processors . This fully integrated solution enables mobile network operators (MNOs) to deploy cloud-native, energy-efficient, AI-powered RAN solutions at significantly lower costs.
Mavenir’s pioneering open vRAN solution has been the driving force behind the great strides the open RAN technology industry has made so far, whether it’s building a new network from scratch or upgrading an existing one. , it has become mainstream for all operators to consider open RAN when expanding their 4G and 5G networks. This combination lays the groundwork for the next big advances in next-generation O-RAN, including dramatic energy savings, guaranteed RAN slices, AI and ML-powered SLAs, RAN capacity expansion, and optimized functional partitioning.
BG Kumar, President of Mavenir’s Access Network Platforms and Digital Enablement Business Unit, said: “Mavenir values our continued collaboration with Intel, which leads the industry in advancing high-performance, sustainable, open vRAN solutions for 4G and 5G networks. 4th Generation Intel Xeon Scalable Processors Mavenir’s integrated solution with Intel vRAN Boost and Intel vRAN Boost further optimizes what open vRAN solutions offer: delivering energy-efficient, cost-effective, cloud-native, AI/ML-powered RAN infrastructure to world-class “We will now be able to offer CSPs around the world the ability to build and deploy using this technology.”
“Intel’s Wireless Access Networking Division is a key enabler for wireless access networking,” said Christina Rodriguez, vice president and general manager of Intel’s Wireless Access Networking division. “Technology needs and challenges are emerging as carriers design and deploy new networks. Mavenir’s solutions leverage the best of our 4th generation Intel “We offer flexible solutions with advanced features that meet the diverse needs of both greenfield and brownfield operators.”
