RICHARDSON, Texas, Feb. 18, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Mavenir, the cloud-native network infrastructure provider building the future of networks, and EdgeQ, a leader in 5G wireless infrastructure, unveil the next generation of indoor and outdoor small cells at the Mobile World Congress Barcelona 2025. The cloud-native, software programmable small cells deliver both 4G and 5G on a single chip, allowing customers to dynamically reconfigure and elastically scale from 4G to 5G without any hardware change, redesign, or reinstallation.

The collaboration introduces new capabilities aimed at enterprise and neutral host providers for indoor environments and meet the demands of communication service providers (CSPs) needing cutting-edge outdoor equipment to support urban densification.

The next generation small cell offering will focus on enabling flexibility, low power consumption, and ease of deployment. The solution empowers CSPs to address rapidly increasing data traffic demands while ensuring a long-term return on investment. The small cell solution, set for general availability in 2Q 2025, will support a range of 4G and 5G spectrum bands, and flexible configurations from single-band 4G or 5G setups to complex multi-band combinations, on a single board. Additionally, the solution offers a future-proof approach with remote software upgrades, allowing CSPs to migrate smoothly from 4G to 5G without hardware changes and maximizing their investments.

Sachin Karkala, SVP & GM RAN at Mavenir, said: This strategic relationship will be disruptive for the small cell market, introducing new capabilities that meet a wide range of needs. EdgeQ is a partner thats working at the cutting edge of silicon technology, and this partnership enables increased levels of flexibility for CSPs, enterprises and neutral host providers. Were changing the economics of 5G deployments with small cells by reducing energy consumption, simplifying deployment and ensuring long-term ROI.

Mavenirs indoor small cell solution leverages EdgeQs highly programmable Base station-on-a-chip to deliver a singular solution that is dynamically configurable to help service providers navigate 4G to 5G migration, NSA to SA migration, TDD and FDD migration, and multi-carrier support. The lean design is ideal for both indoor and outdoor deployments where ubiquity of coverage at low TCO is expected by operators.

Vinay Ravuri, Founder and CEO of EdgeQ, said: We are delighted to partner with Mavenir to enable a new category of small cells that converges multiple radios, bands, and carriers at new unit economics long sought after by service providers. The flexibility that we are enabling with Mavenir will drive frictionless small cell deployments by meeting the short and long-term needs of all connectivity providers. Our state-of-the-art 4G and 5G platform makes the widest range of spectrum configurations possible and ensures a clear upgrade path as traffic grows.

Mavenirs small cell solutions enable enhanced network capacity and coverage in indoor and outdoor environments meeting the full range of public and private network use cases.

Mavenirs full radio portfolio will be displayed at the upcoming MWC Barcelona, March 3-6, in Hall 2, Stand 2H60. For more on Mavenirs presence at the show visit https://www.mavenir.com/mwc-2025/
