Deep Network Observability for Telco
Aviz delivers software-defined deep network observability for service providers - from 4G LTE and 5G mobile cores to broadband and fiber-to-the-home networks, from hybrid cloud infrastructure to the enterprise IT services every service provider runs as a business. A vendor-neutral, AI-ready solution - with up to 50% TCO reduction, subscriber-aware metadata, QoE-grade telemetry, and line-rate 400G performance powered by DPU acceleration.
Challenge: The Visibility Problem across Service Provider Networks
Service provider networks evolved. The visibility tools did not.
5G core is disaggregated. Open RAN brings multi-vendor radio. Broadband and FTTH carry exponentially more subscriber traffic than a decade ago. The appliance-based packet brokers built for a previous era cannot keep up. Aviz can.
MOBILE CORE - 4G EPC + 5G SA side-by-side
4G EPC and 5G SA cores run side by side. Subscribers move between them mid-session. Native flow records can't follow.
BROADBAND & FTTH - Massive subscriber traffic
BNG, CMTS, OLT, and core router boundaries carry massive subscriber traffic. CGNAT, DNS, and DDoS visibility require packet-level evidence.
HYBRID CLOUD - Multi-cloud + edge sprawl
Workloads now span data centers, multiple clouds, Kubernetes, and edge. Centralized appliances cannot follow them.
QOE - Streaming, gaming, voice
Streaming, gaming, and voice quality define subscriber churn. Network-layer evidence is the only honest source of QoE.
SERVICE PROVIDER IT - OSS/BSS, billing, DNS, AAA
OSS/BSS, billing, DNS, AAA. The business behind the network needs the same evidence that the mobile core gets.
The Aviz Deep Network Observability (DNO) Architecture
Aviz Deep Network Observability Intelligent Stack is a software-defined pipeline that converts raw service provider traffic into structured, subscriber-aware intelligence. Aviz DNO ingests SPAN/TAP traffic from every service provider environment - 4G EPC, 5G core, RAN, MEC, broadband, FTTH, hybrid cloud, and service provider IT - and delivers enriched, identity-bound telemetry to every assurance, fraud, lawful intercept, QoE, and observability platform the service provider already runs.
Figure 1: Aviz Deep Network Observability Intelligent Fabric
Aggregate
Aggregate 4G control plane (S1-MME, S11, GTP-C), 5G signaling (N1, N2, HTTP/2 SBI), mobile user plane (GTP-U, N3, N6), and broadband subscriber traffic (PPPoE, IPoE) across hybrid and distributed service provider environments into a single logical pipeline.
Optimize
Reduce noise and optimize traffic for downstream tools through intelligent filtering, load balancing, and header stripping. Stop paying your assurance, fraud, and QoE platforms to process duplicate or irrelevant bytes.
Enrich (Subscriber-Aware Metadata)
Correlate control plane and user plane in real time. Deep Packet Inspection produces subscriber-aware metadata - IMSI, SUPI, MSISDN, APN/DNN for mobile; account ID, CGNAT mapping, session ID for broadband - bound to every flow on the network. QoE metrics (jitter, packet loss, retransmissions, video resolution events) extracted from the same packet stream.
DPU-Native Acceleration
DPU-native acceleration for line-rate packet processing and low-latency performance. Scales to 400G on commodity x86 - no proprietary ASICs, no vendor lock-in.
Distribute
Intelligently distribute subscriber-aware traffic to assurance, fraud, lawful intercept, QoE, and observability tools. Open export formats (JSON, Kafka) feed any platform of choice - all simultaneously, all filtered to the right subscriber cohort.
Use Cases, Solved
Subscriber-aware visibility. At the service provider scale.
Aviz turns raw mobile and broadband traffic into enriched, identity-bound metadata that strengthens every downstream service provider platform - assurance, fraud, lawful intercept, QoE, experience, and security.
4G + 5G Subscriber Visibility
Control plane and user plane, correlated
Every subscriber session, every handover, every signaling event - bound to identity in real time. Control plane signaling (S1-MME, GTP-C, NAS, N1, N2, HTTP/2 SBI) decoded and correlated with user plane traffic (GTP-U, N3, N6). Continuous context across 4G LTE and 5G NR transitions, across every major RAN vendor and Open RAN.
