Mavenir Systems Intros VoWiFi Calling Solution for Cable Operators

Mavenir Systems, a leading provider of software-based networking solutions, has unveiled its Voice over Wi-Fi (VoWiFi) solution for cable operators. Mavenir’s VoWiFi solution is a complete offering that includes session control, application/messaging servers, access/border gateways, subscriber management/activation systems, and end-user clients.

According to Mavenir, the solution integrates with an operator’s existing IMS core network or can be deployed as a greenfield network to offer voice, video, and messaging applications using Wi-Fi access. Mavenir is engaged with multiple cable operators to plan VoWiFi either as a part of their MVNO strategies or as a standalone offering paired with the standard video and content distribution offer.

As cable operators have been rapidly expanding their Wi-Fi reach, the Voice over Wi-Fi provides the opportunity to bundle TV and internet service, with a low cost mobile service that only works on Wi-Fi. 

As part of Mavenir’s virtualized portfolio, the VoWiFi solution leverages Network Functions Virtualization (NFV) to deploy new services on service providers’ cloud infrastructure. It is based on Mavenir’s mOne® Convergence platform and proven technology including the IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) Core and Application Servers and cross-platform mobile clients, added Mavenir.
