Mavenir said today that is has turned on a fully cloud-native converged packet core, Open Radio Access Network (Open RAN) and O-RAN compliant Radio Units (O-RUs) for Triangle Communications. Triangle Communications is undergoing a full network transformation as part of the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) rip-and-replace program, which is designed to eliminate equipment and services in U.S. providers’ networks that pose a national security threat.
Mavenir replaced the Chinese-provided network components “on a turnkey basis” with its own open network infrastructure, all of which are “upgradeable” to 5G, said the vendor.
Triangle Communications provides telecom services to roughly 17,000 subscribers living in parts of 16 counties in Montana, and said it chose Mavenir for this transition due in part to the challenging nature of the state’s landscape.
