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 deployment enables Tune Talk to operate its own network systems end‑to‑end, unlocking new speed, agility, and innovation capabilities ahead of its next phase of growth.

Why it matters

This shift marks a significant milestone for Tune Talk, as it transitions from being a mobile virtual network operator (MVNO) to a fully independent MNO. The adoption of Mavenir's cloud-native OSS and BSS solutions gives Tune Talk full control over its network operations and digital service platforms, providing a software-driven foundation for future growth and innovation.

The details

By modernising its 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 personalised 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.
