Telco Networks for the AI & 5G Edge Era
Telecom operators are at a pivotal moment.
The AI boom is driving demand for edge AI clusters, ultra-low latency, and massive bandwidth — alongside existing 5G, 4G, and fiber networks that must deliver flawless quality of experience (QoE) to millions of users.
At the same time, telcos are running their own clouds, modernizing data center architectures, and rethinking legacy MPLS/SRv6 designs in favor of simpler, open, and vendor-neutral networking.
And with AI on the roadmap for every network operations center, the challenge is how to integrate it across siloed OSS tools, close skill gaps, and keep all subscriber data secure.
Aviz helps telcos standardize networks, unlock deep visibility, and deploy private AI assistants that work across infrastructure, protocols, and applications — without vendor lock-in or budget spikes.
Do These Questions Look Familiar?
1
How do I build future-proof, AI-ready networks for edge clusters without getting locked into a single vendor?
2
How can I gain subscriber-level visibility and SLA monitoring across 5G, 4G, and FTTH from a single observability fabric?
3
How do I cut the cost and power footprint of my packet monitoring and DPI stack without losing capabilities?
4
How can I unify data from multiple OSS tools and domains so AI can work across the entire network?
5
How do I modernize MPLS/SRv6-based telco clouds into simpler, open SONiC-based designs with equal or better performance?
6
How do I close skill gaps while introducing AI securely into my NOC operations?

Deep Network Observability in Telco
Objective
Improve mobile user visibility and service assurance as a Tier 2 service provider.
Strategic Issue
Due to the rise of rich applications and high competition, our customers needed a high-visibility tool to prevent subscriber loss.
Problem
Vendor visibility was by individual vendor sensors or applications, the service provider was unable to track network-wide issues or application performance. The lack of unified network and application observability made it difficult to assure 5G services and optimize costs. The provider needed to break vendor lock-in and improve service assurance across a multi-vendor environment.
Solution
The service provider deployed the Aviz Deep Network Observability solution, which combined Aviz’s open observability platform and DPOK-based telemetry tools. This enabled granular 4G/5G network and application tracking across the Tier 2 mobile network, reduced costs by over 40%, and improved service assurance.

The solution offered open, unified, future-proof, vendor-agnostic observability platform.
Deep Network Observability for Telco
Objective
Improve 5G mobile user experience and service assurance, while dramatically reducing unsustainable costs for a national telecom provider.
Strategic Issue
Overcome fragmented, siloed systems and prevent frequent upgrades by adopting a unified, scalable, and future-proof observability platform.
Problem
Telco systems were complex, costly, and couldn’t support the high data rates, scale, and automation required for next-generation 5G and multi-vendor environments. The national telecom provider had no unified visibility for NOC/AI/analytics and service teams.
