Radisys is known for providing open telecom solutions to service providers worldwide.

Brian Bronson, CEO of Radisys said: "The backing and support of India-based global conglomerate Reliance, will accelerate our strategy and the scale required by our customers to further deploy our full suite of products and services. The Radisys team will continue to work independently on driving its future growth, innovation, and expansion. The addition of Reliance's visionary leadership and strong market position will enhance Radisys' ability to develop and integrate large-scale, disruptive, open-centric end-to-end solutions.

Radisys has nearly 600 employees with an engineering team based out of Bangalore, India, and sales and support offices globally.

Furthermore, the transaction is subject to certain customary closing conditions, including regulatory approvals and approval of Radisys' shareholders, and is expected to close in the fourth quarter of 2018.

RIL intends to finance the transaction through its own internal accruals, the statement said.
