Ashok Khuntia, President of Core Networks for Mavenir said: This collaboration with Iridium is a strategic milestone in Mavenirs mission to enable seamless connectivity across terrestrial and non-terrestrial domains. By deploying our cloud-native Converged Packet Core on AWS, were helping Iridium deliver global NB-IoT services today – Its a powerful demonstration of how Mavenirs flexible, scalable core solutions can adapt to meet the evolving needs of satellite-driven networks.<\/p>\n
Mavenirs solution includes a full suite of core network functions – such as Converged Session Management Function, Converged User Plane Function, Policy Control, Subscriber Management, Network Exposure Function, and messaging capabilities – supported by a centralized operations and analytics platform. The solution is designed for high availability and geo-redundancy across multiple AWS regions.<\/p>\n
Tim Last, Executive Vice President of Sales and Marketing for Iridium said: As we prepare to launch Iridium NTN Direct, our partnership with Mavenir will help ensure a strong foundation for the service. Whether its for IoT or D2D, Iridium NTN Direct will provide a truly global, reliable, and future-ready solution for MNOs, chipmakers, and consumers worldwide.<\/p>\n
The project enables easy integration with Iridiums existing provisioning and billing systems, while also supporting NB-IoT traffic delivery across multiple interfaces including IP, UDP, TCP, and Non-IP Data Delivery (NIDD). Future evolution toward 5G NR will allow Iridium to use the same backend infrastructure for a smooth and low-downtime migration path to D2D connectivity.<\/p>\n
This latest win enhances Mavenirs growing NTN portfolio and highlights its ability to enable satellite operators with proven, standards-compliant packet core solutions that are optimized for cloud-native deployment environments.<\/p>\n
