KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia and RICHARDSON, Texas, Feb. 23, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Tune Talk, one of Malaysia’s most recognized mobile brands, has completed its evolution into a fully independent, cloud-native mobile network operator (MNO) through a strategic partnership with Mavenir, the network software provider building AI-driven mobile infrastructure. The implementation will allow Tune Talk to manage its own network systems end-to-end, unlocking new speed, agility and innovation capabilities ahead of the next phase of growth.
The shift has been made possible through the adoption of Mavenir’s cloud-native OSS and BSS solutions, giving Tune Talk full control over its network operations and digital service platforms and providing a software-driven foundation for future growth.
By modernizing the OSS and BSS layers with Mavenir’s cloud-native platforms, Tune Talk now operates an independent, software-defined network. This upgrade enables faster service deployment, more personalized AI-driven customer experiences, and improved network reliability.
The new architecture has already accelerated the rollout of digital services, including MyDigital ID integration, Mastercard ID theft protection, free personal accident insurance, foodpanda benefits and in-app streaming content such as drama and game subscriptions.
Tune Talk’s new cloud-native operating environment features zero-touch processes and self-healing automation, improving network stability and reducing operational overhead.
Phase two will deepen Tune Talk’s AI-driven transformation, introducing advanced orchestration and next-generation BSS. These capabilities will further improve network performance, accelerate service delivery and unlock new revenue streams through contextual, personalized offers.
“Becoming a fully cloud-native MNO marks the start of a new chapter for Tune Talk and reinforces our ambition to build a smarter, more flexible mobile network for Malaysia and beyond,” said Gurtaj Singh Padda, CEO of Tune Talk. “These foundations will enable us to move faster, personalize services at scale and unlock new value through AI-driven innovation for our growing customer base.”
“We are proud to have successfully completed this first phase of our partnership with Tune Talk, furthering their evolution as a fully cloud-native MNO,” said Mavenir President and CEO Pardeep Kohli. “The Tune Talk team is committed to continuous innovation and is always pushing the boundaries to deliver for their customers. Our fully cloud-native approach is essential to enable the speed, flexibility and efficiency they rely on to continue delivering.”
With this implementation, Tune Talk becomes a reference model for cloud-native MNO operations not only in Malaysia but also for the ASEAN region, demonstrating how modern OSS/BSS architectures can accelerate operators’ independence, agility and long-term digital transformation.
