Mavenir Market Opportunities, M&A and Geo Expansions
In August 2021, Mavenir acquired Telestax Inc., a Communications Platform as a Service (CPaaS) enablement and application provider to the communications industry. This acquisition enhances Mavenir Engage, Mavenir’s omni-channel messaging monetization and customer engagement offerings.
In June 2020, Mavenir, introduced the advanced new features in Mobile Business Contact—its cloud-hosted, contact center as-a-service (CCaaS) solution—to enhance the mobility of subject matter experts and customer service representatives. The new features include flexible call routing (routing of voice calls to any mobile or fixed phone line combined with a low-bandwidth web-based console for omnichannel interactions), Computerless representatives/experts (by calling special campaign numbers to activate or deactivate call routing to their personal phone) and offline campaign mode (supervisors can configure agents’ personal phones in the campaign and, if workers can’t use their office phones, activate offline mode to have all calls automatically routed to their personal devices).
In February 2020, Mavenir, published the first commercial portfolio of OpenRAN RRUs with the O-RAN interface. The initial portfolio consists of 2x20W RRUs for B3, B20, B7 and 2x40W for B5, B28, B71 with general availability in Q2 2020. More variants and additional band support will be added over time. This portfolio underpins the ability to start transitioning from walled garden systems based on proprietary interfaces to a wider, multi-supplier ecosystem that enables faster innovation and lower total cost of ownership, based on OpenRAN principles.
Mavenir acquired Argyle Data, the first big data, and machine learning security platform that delivers real-time anomaly detection and predictive analytics for mobile CSPs and IoT networks. Engineered for the most challenging mobile environments, its supervised and unsupervised Machine Learning algorithms enable superior network traffic insights and comprehensive fraud detection on mobile voice and data planes.

The ecosystem pulls together an end-to-end solution using Mavenir's own radio and core assets along with those of its partners. This broadens the network options Mavenir and its partners can offer. Mavenir has also taken on the responsibility of network integrator.
Mavenir Risks and Challenges
Xura changed the company name to Mavenir Systems upon completion of Mitel Mobile acquisition. Mavenir Systems, which was acquired by Mitel in 2015 and rebranded to Mitel Mobile, established its industry leadership in 4G LTE mobile solutions. That helped define the market with a series of industry firsts, including the world’s first live network deployments of Voice over LTE (“VoLTE”) and RCS5 with MetroPCS (now T-Mobile), and the first mobile network deployment of IMS-based Voice over WiFi (“VoWi-Fi”) with T-Mobile US.
