AT&T Partners with Mavenir for Open RAN 5G Radio Deployment

AT&T Partners with Mavenir for Open RAN 5G Radio Deployment

AT&T has announced plans to deploy Open Radio Access Network (Open RAN) radios from Mavenir, aligning with its strategy to build an open, multi-vendor, and programmable wireless network.   

In a joint blog post, Rob Soni, VP of RAN Technology, and Todd Zeiler, VP of Wireless Engineering & Construction at AT&T, stated, “We have signed new agreements with Fujitsu and Mavenir to develop radios tailored for densely populated urban areas. These radios will enhance our network’s performance and coverage in busy cities.”   

Mavenir joins Ericsson and Fujitsu as AT&T’s 5G radio vendors, marking a significant step for the Texas-based Open RAN gear provider, which has struggled to secure large-scale deals. Other Mavenir customers include Paradise Mobile and Triangle Communications. This development comes amid reports that Saudi Aramco’s digital unit may invest $1 billion in Mavenir for a minority stake, valuing the company at $3 billion.   

AT&T’s $14 billion multi-year Open RAN deal with Ericsson, announced last year, established Ericsson as the primary 5G vendor, replacing Nokia’s legacy equipment and incorporating vendors like Fujitsu.   

The new Open RAN radios will include open C-band (TDD 4T4R) and dual-band (B25/B66 FDD 4T4R) radios designed for utility and light pole installations. These radios will be managed using Ericsson’s Intelligent Automation Platform (EIAP).   

AT&T stated, “Our teams are working to ensure 70% of our 5G network traffic flows across open hardware by late 2026. Meanwhile, customers can enjoy a better wireless experience with these advancements.”
