San Jose, California — Nybsys, a leader in turnkey small cell solutions, and Cloudly, a Silicon Valley AI transformation firm, have announced a strategic partnership at MWC 2026. This alliance unites industry-proven hardware with open-source software intelligence to provide a transparent, community-backed alternative to proprietary 5G stacks.

A Full-Stack Solution

The collaboration bridges the gap between high-performance hardware and flexible, operator-owned software.

  • The Hardware Foundation (Nybsys): Nybsys provides a comprehensive portfolio including the NanoLink and MicroLink small cells, which support 4G and 5G across indoor and outdoor environments. Their Private 5G Express solution offers “network-in-a-box” capabilities, while EdgeLink provides O-RAN compliant features like high-precision positioning and ultra-low latency.
  • The Software Intelligence (Cloudly): Cloudly contributes CloudlyNet, a production-ready suite built on Linux Foundation Connectivity projects. This includes the Magma packet core for 5G SA/NSA flexibility and Open M-plane for standardized radio configuration.
  • AI Optimization: The stack features Maveric, an AI-native platform that applies machine learning to live network data, reducing dropped calls and balancing capacity without manual intervention.

Breaking the Vendor Lock-In

The primary goal of the partnership is to provide “Open-Source all the way down.” By anchoring the software layer on community-governed projects, the solution ensures that the network remains auditable and neutral.

“Together, we’re delivering the kind of full-stack, open-architecture solution that operators and enterprises have been asking for,” said Moshtaq Ahmed, CEO of Nybsys.

This approach allows for a 30% reduction in TCO compared to legacy providers, making high-speed connectivity accessible for sectors like public safety, manufacturing, and last-mile logistics.

Security and Scale

The integrated solution features the Aegis carrier-grade security suite, ensuring end-to-end encryption and zero-trust protection. This makes it ideal for sensitive environments such as healthcare facilities and ports.

Mansoor Khan, CSGO of Cloudly, highlighted the significance of this shift:
“This partnership is a statement about how we believe the industry should move forward… delivering carrier-grade performance at a fraction of what legacy approaches cost.”

Global Reach

With Nybsys’ existing deployments serving tier-1 operators and industrial giants across six countries, the joint solution is ready for global scale. Support and go-to-market teams are active across North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and Africa to assist enterprises in moving from pilot programs to full-scale production.
