Mavenir, TextNow Win Best MVNO And Industry Collaboration Award

KUALA LUMPUR, June 9 (Bernama) -- Software company Mavenir and TextNow, an ad-supported wireless service provider in the United States (US), have jointly won the Best MVNO and Industry Collaboration award at the MVNOs World Awards in Amsterdam.

According to a statement, the award recognises the companies' collaboration in redefining real-time entitlement control for freemium, ad-supported and paid mobile services operating at scale across the US and Canada.

“This award is a testament to what becomes possible when BSS and Core are truly integrated. TextNow pushed the boundaries of what an MVNO can be, and Mavenir's architecture rose to meet that ambition,” said Mavenir Chief Executive Officer (CEO), Pardeep Kohli.

Meanwhile, TextNow CEO, Derek Ting said Mavenir's integrated platform gave the company real-time control over the customer experience while improving operating efficiency at scale.

Mavenir's integrated Business Support System (BSS), Converged Charging System (CCS), Packet Core and IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) were deployed as a unified control plane, enabling real-time enforcement of entitlement changes such as ad engagement, SIM activation, plan upgrades and quota exhaustion.

The deployment increased eSIM activations from two per cent to 94 per cent of all new activations within six months, while the number of paid wireless subscribers more than doubled year on year.

In addition, the deployment, built on a 5G-first, active-active geo-redundant design, delivers 99.999 per cent availability for carrier-grade operations.

A no-code and low-code configuration model has accelerated time-to-market by decoupling offer creation from engineering cycles, while direct SIM ownership enabled wider eSIM adoption and improved the customer activation process.
