NTT DATA, a leading Business- and IT-solution provider and Mavenir have announced a partnership to jointly develop a broad portfolio of solutions and services for private 5G and 4G networks in Germany.
This is an important element of the software-defined 5G strategy which puts NTT DATA in a pioneering role. The focus here is on virtualized mobile networks which reduce the dependence of subscribers on their provider. In the initial phase, they will be jointly developing concepts for the German-speaking market (Germany, Switzerland, Austria), with an expansion to other regions and markets expected to follow.
The cooperation is expected to provide a complete range of 5G and 4G systems and solutions. These range from OpenRAN radio access, cloud core solutions for data and voice, management and orchestration of 5G solutions, digital enablement platforms to analytics and applications for enterprises and industry. For the private network offerings, NTT DATA and Mavenir are combining their respective strengths to enable the creation of state-of-the-art solutions and services on the market. This also includes cooperation with private companies from various industries, public and government authorities, and network operators to support the introduction and integration of private networks and related applications and services.

While major providers only offer combinations of 4G and 5G networks and rely on proprietary systems, NTT DATA focused early on virtualized networks and is a clear pioneer in offering a pure 5G network.
