ConteXtream is a privately held software-defined networking (SDN) company based in Mountain View, California. Its offerings enable carriers to provision network capacity and functions with the flexibility and scalability akin to cloud services, allowing standard server hardware and virtualization environments to host and manage network functions and services. The company targets carrier networks and operates in the telecommunications industry, with a customer base including Tier-1 operators that rely on dynamic, elastic connections for subscribers to services. ConteXtream’s approach centers on delivering carrier-grade SDN and NFV capabilities that aim to replace traditional, purpose-built systems with more cost-effective, software-driven solutions. In January 2023, ConteXtream announced a collaboration with Red Hat to integrate OpenStack orchestration with its SDN/NFV fabric for carrier-SDN solutions.
