KUALA LUMPUR, Sept 15 (Bernama) -- Mavenir, a cloud-native network infrastructure provider, was featured in four award-winning entries at Light Reading’s 2026 Leading Lights Awards, recognising its work in non-terrestrial networks, cloud-native core innovation, network modernisation and energy efficiency.
Mavenir received awards in two categories, including Most Innovative Satellite or Non-Terrestrial Network Product or Solution for its Full-Stack NTN Platform and Outstanding Use Case: IoT, jointly with Deutsche Telekom IoT GmbH, for Remote Packet Core for Connected Cars.
In a statement, Mavenir President and Chief Executive Officer, Pardeep Kohli said the awards highlighted the company’s efforts to address connectivity challenges through cloud-native technology and collaboration with customers.
The Full-Stack NTN Platform supports satellite-terrestrial integration across geostationary orbit (GEO), medium Earth orbit (MEO) and low Earth orbit (LEO) environments, supporting 3G through 5G services on a converged core architecture.
The Remote Packet Core solution enables the control plane to remain in Europe while providing localised traffic breakout in North America, addressing latency, transit costs and data sovereignty requirements. The production deployment supports connectivity for well over one million connected vehicles globally.
Mavenir also served as a technology partner in two award-winning Deutsche Telekom initiatives, including the Outstanding Use Case: Network Modernisation & Automation award for the Horizontal Telco Cloud initiative.
The initiative replaced fragmented network systems with a shared cloud-native platform across more than 10 data centres in Germany, with Mavenir contributing cloud-native solutions, including a converged 4G/5G packet core and network slicing applications.
Mavenir was also a technology partner in Deutsche Telekom’s Full Stack Energy Efficiency initiative, which won the Outstanding Use Case: Energy Efficiency & Sustainability award. The initiative achieved up to 65 per cent off-peak energy savings in the 5G core network without a hardware refresh.
Mavenir said its cloud-native 5G Core software and energy-aware automation capabilities enabled dynamic resource scaling to reduce energy consumption and carbon dioxide emissions while maintaining network performance.
