Mavenir, Red Hat Launch AI Monetisation Platform
KUALA LUMPUR, June 19 (Bernama) -- Mavenir has launched an integrated artificial intelligence (AI) platform developed in collaboration with Red Hat, enabling network operators to offer and bill AI services through token-based consumption models using existing telecom billing systems.
The platform combines Mavenir's AI software with Red Hat's AI and Kubernetes capabilities running on Red Hat OpenShift, allowing operators to deploy AI services on their own infrastructure while maintaining control over pricing, service levels, data and model selection.
Mavenir Chief Technology and Strategy Officer, Bejoy Pankajakshan said the platform enables operators to become AI service providers rather than merely supplying connectivity.
He said operators would be able to monetise AI usage through existing business support systems while retaining control over data, pricing and service quality.
Meanwhile, Red Hat Chief Technology Officer and Senior Vice President of Global Engineering, Chris Wright said the hybrid architecture allows operators to run most AI workloads on sovereign on-premises infrastructure while selectively connecting to external models when advanced capabilities are required.
In a statement, Mavenir said the platform supports three operating models: operator-branded AI services for subscribers, AI infrastructure for operator-managed AI grid deployments, and managed AI services for enterprise customers on a token-based consumption basis.
The company said the platform is designed to help operators generate new revenue streams from AI services through token-based plans, while providing control over data sovereignty, service assurance and spending on external AI models. The architecture supports both on-premises small language models and selective access to advanced frontier models through policy-based routing.
The platform includes AI operations, model management, token charging and billing capabilities, as well as security and service assurance features designed for carrier-grade deployments.
Mavenir will showcase the platform at DTW Ignite 2026, which takes place from June 23 to 25.
