In the ever-evolving world of telecom, one thing hasn’t changed: operations remain the backbone of customer experience, network reliability, and business continuity. Yet, some problems just refuse to go away.

Despite new tools, AI, automation, and orchestration platforms, many telcos still wrestle with the same old pain points — just in shinier packaging.

Here are three challenges that continue to haunt ops teams, drain time, and delay resolution — and we’d love to know how YOU think they should be fixed.

🔍 1. Fragmented Visibility Across Multi-Vendor Networks

📉 The Problem:

Telco networks are built like puzzles — with components from Nokia, Ericsson, Huawei, Cisco, Juniper, VMware, AWS, and many more. Each comes with its own monitoring tools, data formats, alarm thresholds, and language.

The result? No single pane of glass. And worse — siloed teams, blind spots, and slow RCA.

❓ Why It’s Still Hard:

• Vendors are reluctant to open APIs.
• Integration projects are expensive and fragile.
• Data harmonization is complex and ever-changing.

💡 Imagine if…

You had a Gen AI-powered “Ops Copilot” that reads all dashboards, translates alarms, and explains — in plain English — what’s going wrong and where.

📜 2. Unmanageable Volume of Log Monitoring

📉 The Problem:

Modern telco infrastructure produces terabytes of logs daily. They’re critical — but almost impossible to read in real-time. What’s worse? The real issue is often camouflaged as routine noise.

Teams struggle with:

• Alert fatigue
• False positives
• Missed root causes

❓ Why It’s Still Hard:

• Logs are unstructured and vary by platform.
• Context is everything — and machines often lack it.
• Human review is slow and error-prone.

💡 Imagine if…

A smart log interpreter summarized every 100,000 events into a short status report:

“5G node in Mumbai likely facing memory leak — similar to last month’s issue in Bangalore.”

🛡️ 3. Security Vulnerabilities in Ops Environments

📉 The Problem:

With 5G, edge computing, and API-first architectures, telecom networks are more exposed than ever. One weak link — a forgotten test VM, expired cert, or exposed SSH port — can open the door to a breach.

And unfortunately, Ops teams are often last in the line of defense.

❓ Why It’s Still Hard:

• Real-time scanning tools can slow down live systems.
• Many threats are configuration-based, not just malware.
• Fixing often requires downtime — which ops can’t afford.

💡 Imagine if…

You had a real-time, Gen AI-based vulnerability scout that flags, explains, and recommends fixes — before the red alert hits.

💬 So… How Would YOU Solve These?

We believe that the answers to these challenges won’t come from one big vendor, but from collaboration, creativity, and community.
