Mavenir & Red Hat Launch AI Platform for Operators

Mavenir and Red Hat have launched a new Integrated AI Platform. This platform helps network operators offer AI services. Here's the thing: operators can now monetize AI just like they do data. They can use token-based consumption plans, which are billed on the phone bill. Operators maintain full control over pricing, service-level agreements, and the AI models used. The platform works in three ways: operators can offer AI services to their own subscribers, power operator AI grid deployments, or provide managed AI capabilities to businesses. What's interesting is this platform uses Red Hat AI on Kubernetes infrastructure, powered by Red Hat OpenShift. This gives operators a flexible architecture. They can use their own on-premises models and small language models, and also connect to frontier models when needed. The bottom line: this new platform allows operators to tap into the growing AI services market, creating new revenue streams by monetizing AI interactions.
