Telecommunications
Run the network on data, from circuit to customer.
Forge for Telecommunications
Telecom operators of every size use Forge builds to turn network and customer data into operational decisions.
Field engineers, quality analysts and the network operations centre use Forge to plan maintenance before a fault, run the network with less manual work, and settle a vendor issue quickly.
Built for how a telecom operator works
Forge is open and modular. It connects to the infrastructure you already run and does not lock you in.
Open data formats keep every output usable by other tools. All code is version-controlled in a secure repository and can be reused outside Forge.
Documented APIs expose the build system, data health, lineage and metadata to your other applications.
Forge runs in the cloud or on your own servers, fully managed either way, on the same technology.
On the major clouds it uses cloud patterns: micro-services, autoscaling, distributed compute. Sovereign and air-gapped estates run the identical platform.
From day one an operator puts applications against its most pressing problems: predicting a fault, finding the cause of a customer's complaint, speeding up provisioning and lead-to-cash.
A set of ready-made applications for telecom operations means your teams tailor and deploy a solution in days, not months.
Telecom is an industry with strict privacy rules, so data protection has to be built in.
Forge's privacy and security functions keep an operator ahead of regulation like the GDPR, and go further than required to protect each customer's identity.
Beyond access controls, teams apply data minimisation, pseudonymisation and encryption, with data revealed only for a stated purpose.
Forge's no/low-code application frameworks let users create and adjust workflows quickly.
Built for a low floor and a high ceiling, the frameworks serve everyone from a small team with a simple tool to the applications at the heart of an operations centre.
Where We Work
Where Forge goes to work inside a telecom operator.
Reduce power usage in your network, without impacting your customers.
EcoCell, powered by Forge, is a cloud service that helps a mobile operator cut the power its network uses, and the emissions with it. It is delivered with a radio-planning and drive-test partner that has measured and optimised operator networks across the UK and Europe for more than a decade, so every power-saving profile is checked against real coverage and quality.
Cut the power each site in your radio access network uses
- Tune each site's configuration to save power
- Keep power use in check as 4G and 5G spectrum is added
- Keep the data, the models and the applications in step
- See where the network's energy will go before it is spent
- See how each device performs and push configuration changes to the edge of the network
A multi-vendor product, able to configure the infrastructure used by operators large and small, including:
- Radio vendors across 4G and 5G generations
- Legacy 2G and 3G estates
- Open RAN deployments
- Creates and delivers a power-saving configuration for each site, automatically
- Watches performance so network quality holds
- A workbench for finding further improvements
- Secure data integration and network analysis through the operational model
- Daily power-saving profiles for RAN sites
- Weekday, weekend, and holiday-specific profile configurations
- Reconfigures continuously as the network data changes
