RINA Wireless Brings Crystal-Clear Voice to Rural America with Mavenirs Cloud-Native VoLTE and VoWiFi Solutions

RICHARDSON, Texas, April 09, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Mavenir, the cloud-native software company building AI-by-design mobile networks, today announced that RINA Wireless, the Rural Independent Network Alliance, has selected Mavenir to modernize its voice core, deploying IMS, VoLTE, VoWiFi, and Voicemail solutions as part of a multi-vendor equipment swap.

The deployment of a new cloud-native voice core extends a successful and trusted relationship dating back to 2022 and sees RINA Wireless helping to ensure crystal-clear and reliable voice services for remote and rural communities on Mavenirs containerized 4G/5G non-standalone packet core.

The fully containerized voice core helps enable RINA Wireless to reduce its OPEX in terms of software licensing, management and services, and hardware footprint, replacing legacy solutions still running on hardware dependent Virtual Network Functions (VNF) with a future-proof roadmap running on a cloud-native containerized solution.

Allen Bennion, Director of RINA Operations said: Small rural carriers provide essential connectivity to remote communities across America. But without the financial muscle of tier-1 carriers, they face a constant challenge in delivering new, reliable and critical wireless services upon which businesses and families rely. Working with Mavenirs cloud-native packet core has enabled us to change the economics for carriers serving remote locations. Were delighted to be expanding our already successful relationship to enable our partners to deliver the most fundamental service of all high-quality, reliable voice.

Brandon Larson, Senior Vice President and General Manager of Mavenir's Cloud, AI & IMS Business Strategy, commented: At their core, every operator, regardless of size, has the desire and need to drive innovation and deliver exceptional user experiences. RINA Wireless, with its hosted core network and switching capabilities, delivers comprehensive carrier solutions that enhance both connectivity and operational efficiency. By adding Mavenirs futureproof, cloudnative voice core to its portfolio, RINA Wireless is not only bringing advanced multitenant VoLTE and VoWiFi services to its partner carriers, but once again demonstrating how fundamental cloudnative solutions are to empowering rural carriers, laying the foundation for advanced communications even for the smallest operators serving the most remote areas.

RINA Wireless first deployed Mavenirs future proof, cloud-native, small footprint containerized Evolved Packet Core (EPC) in 2022. This enables the separation of the control and user plane allowing RINA Wireless to deploy remote gateways for managing local traffic breakouts, thereby reducing the costs of transport and latency. Working with Mavenir, RINA Wireless is able to expand Mobile and Fixed Wireless Access (FWA) services to new regions and remote locations.

Mavenir will be attending the 2026 Rural Wireless Infrastructure Summit in Steamboat Springs, CO on June 22-24, 2026.
