NEC unveils AI-powered solution to speed up mobile network modernisation, cutting deployment time by 60% and easing 5G virtualisation.

Context

NEC Corporation has introduced a new telecom infrastructure solution aimed at significantly reducing the time required to plan, design, and deploy mobile networks. The new solution is designed to speed up mobile network modernisation by automating and streamlining construction processes, reducing deployment time by approximately 60% compared to traditional methods. It supports telecom operators transitioning to 5G virtualisation technologies such as vRAN and O-RAN , offering enhanced automation and efficiency. NEC’s new offering includes business process optimisation services, automation technology for network deployment, and real-time operational data monitoring, allowing faster feedback loops.

Evidence

Pending intelligence enrichment.

Analysis

Built on a microservices architecture, the solution ensures interoperability in multi-vendor environments and supports cloud-native integration. A key feature is NEC’s Network and Cloud-Native Orchestrator, which enables full lifecycle network management from deployment to operation. This solution is part of the NEC BluStellar brand, which focuses on AI-driven automation in telecom infrastructure. According to NEC, this approach will help telecom providers expand service areas quickly and improve profitability by optimising resource allocation.
