KUALA LUMPUR, June 15 (Bernama) -- Mavenir, the software company building cloud-native, AI-by-design mobile networks, announced it has become the first tier-one telecommunications infrastructure software provider to receive Germany's BSI NESAS certification for a 5G Packet Core network function.
In a statement, the company said the certification was awarded for its Network Repository Function (NRF), confirming that the product meets security requirements for use as a critical component in public telecommunications networks in Germany.
Mavenir Senior Vice President, Operations, Omar Shahdad said the certification demonstrates the company's commitment to meeting stringent national cybersecurity requirements for 5G software and network infrastructure.
Meanwhile, Federal Office for Information Security (BSI) Head of Certification, Fabian Hodouschek said the certification marked an important step in strengthening the cybersecurity of Germany's mobile telecommunications networks.
He said the certification confirms that Mavenir's Network Repository Function, including its development and lifecycle processes, complies with the standards of the internationally recognised NESAS security framework.
According to Mavenir, the milestone follows the implementation of mandatory BSI NESAS certification requirements under Germany's Telecommunications Act and BSI Act, which took effect on Jan 1, 2026.
The certification was issued by Germany's BSI under the BSI NESAS certification scheme, which builds on the Global System for Mobile Communications Association (GSMA) Network Equipment Security Assurance Scheme (NESAS) framework.
The company said it is continuing certification of its broader Packet Core and IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) portfolio, with completion targeted by the third quarter of 2026 to support operators deploying compliant cloud-native network architectures.
