iPhone SOS: Verizon Experiences Major Outage Across the U.S. [Update: Fixed]

[lindros2]

Visible is different than most MVNOs: "After Visible customers' communications travel off Verizon's RAN network, they are routed through a cloud-based instance of Mavenir's core platform running on Verizon's cloud, and then handled by a cloud-based version of Vlocity/Salesforce for ordering or, for online charging, a digital instance of Verizon's Matrixx platform running on Google's cloud."

There's a customer-facing story to Verizon's Visible efforts. But on the backend, the story is perhaps even more interesting.

But this contradicts the post I quoted.
Does Visible have its own CORE?
Or does it use Verizon’s core with their crap layered on top?
I’ve wondered about how PRI assignment is done w/ MVNO’s, having experienced a forced shutdown of the consumer digital networks during 9/11 in NYC.

Yes, Visible has its own core. It runs Mavenir's virtualized core (https://www.mavenir.com/portfolio/mavcore) on Verizon's cloud. This is separate from Verizon's core, just like tenants in a public cloud such as AWS are all separate even though they're using the same physical infrastructure, or when different BUs in the same company share a private cloud and are unaffected when another part of the company has a problem with its services.
