Advance Network

Given the acceleration of Digital Transformation for businesses and governments, Telcos are playing a key role. On one side, there is a laser sharp focus to make sure that the network assets are highly efficient, on the other side – it is also about upgrades and new investments to make sure that the latest technologies/ trends like 5G, multi-edge compute, SDN/ NFV are leveraged for growth and differentiation. Telecom networks continue to become more complex with the advancements in technology. Software is the new hardware but it will continue to co-exist with the old hardware in the foreseeable future. Dhata brings in multiple solutions to Telcos:

  1. Performance as a Service
  2. Hyperscale Network Lifecycle Management

Performance as a Service (Partner – Avenseus)

For Network performance as a Service, we leverage Avenseus, AI based predictive maintenance. This is a radical new approach to telecom network management using AI with advanced algorithms for prediction, correlation, clustering, root cause analysis and automation.

Avenseus predicts network failure & network degradation well in advance with the help of AI. This solution is with future proof technology & 5G ready and is proven on 50 telecom networks globally with 75% precision and 45% coverage as global average. It has been granted 2 patents, has published 2 patents and filed 4 patents. The company has been awarded Gartner Cool Vendor recognition in 2018 and featured in multiple Gartner reports.

The solution is agnostic to equipment vendor used by the Telco, for network operations.
