Mavenir ’ s energy-efficient 5G UPF solution wins the Leading Lights Network Energy Efficiency Award

Mavenir , the cloud-native network infrastructure provider building the future of networks , has won the Leading Lights Network Energy Efficiency Award for its Energy- Efficient 5G User Plane Function ( UPF ) solution .

Delivering substantial energy savings , operational efficiency and enhanced performance for its mobile network operator customers , Mavenir has demonstrated remarkable success with its UPF solution . With a significant 40 % power saving even under the most demanding conditions , such as a 100 % traffic load , this impressive efficiency is due in part to Mavenir ’ s utilisation of NVIDIA ASAP2 Accelerated Switching and Packet Processing technology , which allows Mavenir to accelerate the UPF- data plane on NVIDIA solutions and plays a pivotal role in conserving power . Leveraging Intel Infrastructure Power Manager functionality further enhances power savings , reaching up to 62 % during 50 % traffic load and idle load scenarios .
Substantial innovation and technological advancements can be realised when industry leaders and cutting-edge technologies come together . Mavenir ’ s cloud-native architecture seamlessly integrates with 4th Gen Intel Xeon Scalable Processors and NVIDIA ConnectX-6 Dx SmartNIC acceleration technology . This powerful combination allows customers to enjoy the dual benefits of enhanced power efficiency and high-performance packet processing .
“ We have not only demonstrated significant energy savings and performance improvements for 5G core networks but have also set a new standard for energy-efficient network infrastructure ,” said Ashok Khuntia , President , Core Networks , Mavenir . “ This award underscores the value of strategic collaborations and the integration of our ‘ green by design ’ advanced technologies in driving industry-wide progress and sustainability .”
Mavenir ’ s solution also enables a small footprint UPF at the edge , reducing latency , improving local data processing and minimising operational costs . The innovative architecture , coupled with advanced technologies , ensures that Mavenir ’ s customers can achieve significant energy savings and operational efficiencies .
The Leading Light Network Energy Efficiency Award is given to the company that has helped a network operator best improve the energy efficiency of its networks by retiring or consolidating infrastructure , using modern software and equipment , adopting more data-driven operations and more . The Leading Lights Awards is Light Reading ’ s flagship awards programme , now in its 20th year . It recognises the top companies and their executives for outstanding achievements in the global communications industry , presenting an exceptional snapshot of the technology , applications , services and innovation that help telecom , cable and cloud providers stand out . �
