New partnership empowers offshore connectivity innovator to deliver cloud-native 5G services – including enhanced mobile broadband, URLLC and mMTC
Mavenir, the cloud-native network infrastructure provider, today announced that it has been selected as a key technology partner by Tampnet – a global leader in offshore, high-capacity, low-latency connectivity and network services. Following a rigorous selection process, the Norway-based offshore connectivity provider has chosen Mavenir’s state-of-the-art Converged Packet Core solution for immediate deployment across its global 4G/5G network. Tampnet operates the world’s largest offshore high-capacity communication network in the North Sea and the Gulf of America, serving customers across offshore energy, maritime and carrier industries.
Marking a wholesale migration to Mavenir from existing core technology providers in Europe and the Americas, this new strategic partnership unlocks a transformative opportunity for Tampnet to deliver innovative, cloud-native 5G services to its mobile customers – including enhanced mobile broadband, ultra-reliable low-latency communications (URLLC), and massive machine-type communications (mMTC). Leveraging full containerisation for optimal flexibility, Mavenir’s advanced converged packet core solution will ensure a smooth and seamless transition across Tampnet’s 4G, 5G Non-Standalone (NSA), and introduction of 5G Standalone (SA), while also setting the global communication service provider on course for future 6G capabilities.
Additionally, Mavenir’s integration of AI-driven automation and energy-efficient network orchestration features will drive a suite of compelling benefits – enabling Tampnet to optimize network performance, reduce operational costs, and deliver hyper-personalized services tailored to its customers’ needs.
Commenting on the technology partnership, Øyvind Skjervik, Chief Architect of Tampnet, said: “This strategic collaboration with Mavenir marks a significant milestone in our journey to deliver cutting-edge connectivity and digital services to our customers worldwide. This positions us as a leader in the global telecommunications landscape, ready to meet the evolving demands of consumers, enterprises, and industries. We’re looking forward to collaborating closely with Mavenir to bring this next-generation mobile core to life and to set a new benchmark for connectivity and innovation.”
Mavenir’s end-to-end, fully containerized packet core portfolio provides multi-generational support for all G’s to allow flexible and cost-effective modernization of existing mobile networks while evolving to 5G. The cloud-native architecture offers easy scaling, hardware decoupling, agility, portability and resilience across all cloud environments – public, private and hybrid – while a granular microservice architecture delivers carrier-grade resiliency that meets web-scale requirements – including high availability, security, and performance.
Ashok Khuntia, President – Core Networks for Mavenir, said: “Tampnet and Mavenir are aligned in a mission to fundamentally transform global connectivity, pushing the limits of technology innovation to drive greater accessibility and richer service capabilities for users wherever they are, while continually raising the bar in resilience, reliability, energy-efficiency and performance. By entrusting Mavenir with its mobile core transformation, Tampnet is positioned to fully realize the benefits of an agile, extensible network and accelerate the roll-out of leading-edge services to support IoT and emerging next-generation applications. We are excited to be embarking on this significant collaboration where, together, we will be working to redefine what’s possible in offshore telecommunications.”
