Automation and Digital Twin: The Future of Mobile Network Operations

Accelerate your Telco Cloud transformation with Sofrecom. Optimize mobile network operations with DevOps automation, advanced observability, and the power of Digital Twin technology for maximum resilience.

The Challenge: Managing Network Complexity with Software Intelligence 

In the era of 5G and virtualized infrastructures, manual mobile network management has become unsustainable. For major operators, operational survival now relies on a radical shift to Telco Cloud and automation of the network function lifecycle.

The goal is to replace traditional processes with a software-defined platform that ensures absolute service continuity while eliminating human error risk.

The Need: Industrializing Agility and Resilience

With growing traffic and microservices proliferation, operators face critical requirements:

  1. End-to-End Automation: Orchestrate containerized infrastructure lifecycles for increased agility.
  2. Full Observability: Deploy assurance solutions to monitor and diagnose service quality in real time.
  3. Digital Twin Anticipation: Model the mobile network to simulate impacts, test changes, and automate use cases without affecting production.
  4. Uncompromised Security: Ensure strict compliance with ANSSI standards in a secure hybrid development environment.

Sofrecom Approach: DevOps and Data Immersion

Sofrecom integrates technical expertise directly within your business teams:

  • Work Unit Packages & DevOps Expertise: CI/CD pipelines and automation modules (Ansible, Python, Shell) to accelerate software delivery.
  • Telco Cloud Architecture & Containerization: Expertise in Kubernetes, OpenShift, and Sirius for industrialized network function deployment.
  • Observability-Driven Operations: Implement Prometheus, Grafana, ELK (Logstash, Kibana) to turn network logs into actionable dashboards.
  • Collaborative Modeling: Develop virtual replicas (Digital Twins) to automate E2E testing and secure technological evolution.
