Mavenir Collaborates With Red Hat To Launch Integrated AI Platform To Turn Operators Into AI Service Providers

RICHARDSON, Texas, June 18 (Bernama) -- Mavenir today announced an Integrated AI Platform developed in collaboration with Red Hat that enables network operators to monetize AI the way they already monetize data; through token-based consumption plans, billed on the phone bill, with full control over pricing, service-level agreements (SLAs) and the models that power every interaction. The Integrated AI Platform will operate across three models: operator-branded AI services for their own subscribers; as the AI infrastructure layer powering operator AI grid deployments; and as a managed AI platform through which operators offer AI capabilities to enterprise customers on a token-based consumption basis. Using Red Hat AI as a unified platform that brings together AI capabilities running on Kubernetes infrastructure powered by Red Hat OpenShift, Mavenir’s Integrated AI Platform empowers operators with a flexible, sovereign-first architecture. This allows operators to utilize on-premises models and custom-built small language models (SLMs) that can handle a wide range of use cases, while also benefitting from selective, policy-governed connectivity to frontier models for tasks that demand cutting-edge reasoning capability. Operators control which model handles which request, who pays for it and how it is billed.
