Radisys Launches V.AI Ecosystem to Accelerate Telecom AI Service Innovation

Radisys^® Corporation, a global leader in open telecom solutions, today announced the launch of its V.AI ecosystem, bringing together applications, development tools and leading voice and speech AI technologies to help telecom operators create, deploy and monetize AI-powered communication services for consumers and business subscribers.

The V.AI ecosystem, which has evolved since the launch of the Radisys Engage Digital Platform (EDP) at MWC Barcelona in 2022, draws on two decades of Radisys leadership in real-time media processing and a global footprint across live operator networks.

Seamlessly integrated with EDP, the ecosystem gives operators multiple paths to market. Operators can deploy turnkey applications, customize services for specific markets and customer segments, or create new device-independent, network-delivered experiences through V.AI Studio, Radisys’ development environment for voice and video AI services.

Charter members of the V.AI ecosystem, ElevenLabs, Hiya, ReadSpeaker, Sensory, and Speechmatics expand the range of voice and speech AI capabilities available through EDP. Radisys has combined these technologies with its telecom network, device (mobile and landline handsets, cameras, sensors and more), and media processing capabilities to deliver end-to-end AI-enhanced applications across pre-call, in-call, and post-call experiences. Applications include agentic assistants, intelligent fraud protection, call screening, personalized call clarity, live call translation, intelligent call recording, 5G New Calling, Industry 4.0 automation with video analytics, and more.

V.AI ecosystem partners bring specialized AI capabilities, including broad language support, optimized compute efficiency, and industry-leading accuracy, as well as the flexibility to deploy AI services directly within operator networks and/or in public cloud infrastructure. By running Radisys EDP and V.AI partner solutions within their own managed infrastructure, service providers can achieve cost-efficient deployment and automation while meeting their data security, privacy, and sovereignty requirements. This deployment model also minimizes latency and helps meet demanding performance SLAs.

Through the V.AI Studio, operators can customize EDP's off-the-shelf application library, with SDKs, a visual application designer, and scripting tools to create new services. Built on a cloud-native telecom platform, EDP enables secure, automated, and scalable services that meet operator requirements and provide reliable experiences for their customers.

"By combining Radisys EDP with the capabilities of our V.AI ecosystem partners, we enable service providers to achieve faster time-to-market, stronger service assurance, and unparalleled ROI,” said Al Balasco, Head of Media, Core and Applications Business, Radisys. “Through this integrated approach, operators benefit from unmatched performance and greater operational and economic value than public cloud-only alternatives, with more control over the capabilities of their applications."

Support for network APIs (GSMA CAMARA) allows AI-enhanced EDP applications to leverage network assets such as identity, location, and guaranteed quality of service levels that pure over-the-top applications can’t match. The platform also enables advanced 5G New Calling experiences today, while providing a seamless migration path to end-to-end, device-to-network IMS Data Channel support. This delivers immersive, no-app, no-download experiences on mobile devices, simplifying adoption and accelerating service innovation, while natural speech interfaces extend access to the same applications via feature phones and landlines.

In addition to the capabilities of Radisys’ V.AI ecosystem, EDP also supports integrations with public cloud-based AI speech technologies, including Azure Speech from Microsoft, Google Cloud Speech-to-Text and Cloud Text-to-Speech APIs, and the OpenAI Audio API for speech transcription and audio translation capabilities.^{1 2 3}

Uniquely in the market, EDP applications can be distributed across the telecom cloud, network edge, and devices, including app-based and app-less experiences enabled through IMS Data Channel, allowing each service to run where it best balances infrastructure cost, performance, data governance and operational requirements.

"The communications platform-as-a-service market is on a trajectory to become a cornerstone of digital engagement. Our 2026 Programmable Communications Market Monitor & Forecast projects it will reach $35.4 billion by 2030. Because over-the-top players capture most of this value, communication service providers risk being relegated to simple connectivity providers. Radisys EDP directly addresses this strategic challenge, enabling CSPs to monetize their network infrastructure investments through application-layer services. This presents a clear path to launching competitive, high-margin digital services," said Raul Castanon-Martinez, Sr. Analyst, 451 Research from S&P Global.

Radisys has enabled AI-driven services through EDP with production deployments across North America, Latin America, Europe, and Asia Pacific. To learn more about Radisys’ Voice and Speech AI applications and the V.AI ecosystem, visit https://www.engagedigital.ai/.

Meet Radisys at CASA26, September 21-22 at the Tobacco Theater in Amsterdam to experience V.AI applications and learn how EDP and the V.AI ecosystem can help operators accelerate service innovation and create new sources of customer value and revenue.
