Tata Elxsi innovates telecommunications with neuron autonomous network platform
Tata Elxsi, a leader in global design and technology services, is making significant strides in transforming the telecommunications industry. Its innovative Neuron Autonomous Network Platform is set to revolutionize the deployment and operation of some of the world’s largest and most advanced 4G/5G networks. Designed to empower operators in building business intent-driven networks, the NEURON platform streamlines the lifecycle management of network elements and automates network operations.
Revolutionizing Network Management and Operations with AI and ML
The NEURON platform’s key components, NEURON Telco Cloud and NEURON Dark NOC, bring the advantages of DevOps, AI, and Machine Learning (ML) into constructing autonomous cloud-native networks. These components not only facilitate seamless integration with existing IT and legacy systems but also support Operational Support Systems (OSS) and Business Support Systems (BSS), creating secure, domain-isolated networks. This approach results in an open, easy-to-manage network infrastructure that significantly lowers operational expenditures (OPEX).
Global Deployments and Customized Solutions
Globally, the NEURON Autonomous Network Platform has been successfully deployed in multiple data centers, handling over 10,000 VNFs/CNFs and serving millions of subscribers. These deployments are customized to meet each customer’s specific needs and infrastructure requirements, focusing on optimal performance and efficiency across network architectures. Tata Elxsi’s approach involves taking end-to-end program ownership, from commissioning to rollout, ensuring a comprehensive solution for operators.
