BG Kumar, President, Access Networks, Platforms and MDE at Mavenir said: "To have this validation from an independent source is testament to the innovation, ingenuity, commitment, expertise and skill of the Mavenir team - and firmly underlines the critical importance of developing a strong and trusted ecosystem of expert partners - an unbeatable combination with which to support our increasing customer base."
