ROCK, Texas, Sept. 25,
2024 /PRNewswire/ --
Full story
Dell Technologies (NYSE: DELL) today announced Dell AI for
Telecom, a program designed to simplify and accelerate AI
deployments for communications service providers (CSPs).
A recent MeriTalk study1, commissioned by Dell
Technologies, found that 48% of telecom executives see AI as the
industry's most transformative technology in the next five years,
yet 68% feel their organization is struggling to keep pace with
rapidly evolving technologies and customer needs.
The Dell AI for Telecom program, part of the Dell AI Factory,
addresses these challenges by bringing together Dell's AI
expertise, infrastructure and services with software and silicon
from across the AI ecosystem. The program will develop and deploy
on-premises AI solutions that CSPs can use to enhance network
performance, improve customer service and provide greater value at
the enterprise edge.
"Capitalizing on the multiple opportunities presented by AI has
become the most compelling driver of network cloud transformation,"
said Dennis Hoffman, senior vice
president and general manager, Telecom Systems Business, Dell
Technologies. "Dell AI for Telecom brings together Dell's AI
expertise and infrastructure, with partners across the ecosystem,
to help network operators implement AI solutions in and on the
network that reduce OPEX, improve performance and create new
edge revenue opportunities."
Dell Collaborates with NVIDIA to Transform Telecom Networks
with AI Solutions
Dell extends its collaboration with NVIDIA to:
- Co-create and validate telecom AI solutions for CSPs,
built upon and validated with the Dell AI Factory with NVIDIA.
Using Dell PowerEdge servers, NVIDIA GPUs and enterprise-grade AI
software, the solutions help CSPs use AI to:
- Enhance customer care and improve network maintenance with the
Amdocs amAIz platform.
- Automate call center scripts and customer care operations with
Iternal.
- Conduct network troubleshooting and analysis with
Kinetica SQL-GPT.
- Develop digital twins for networks and perform predictive
network maintenance with Synthefy.
- Facilitate AI deployments at the edge of the telecom network
with the PowerEdge XR8000 server, now available with NVIDIA
L4 Tensor Core GPUs. Designed for telecom and edge use cases, the
PowerEdge XR8000 servers are available in compact form factors with
a scalable, modular design that simplify deployment and
maintenance.
- Help CSPs design and deploy GPU-as-a-Service (GPUaaS)
offerings, so they can provide on-demand NVIDIA GPU capacity for
enterprise customers. With infrastructure solutions
optimized for enterprise AI workloads, CSPs can unlock new revenue
opportunities and use their networks to deliver carrier-grade, low
latency AI inference and training closer to data. Enterprises
can scale AI deployments and resources as needed, while
maintaining data ownership and governance.
Dell Professional Services help CSPs with their strategy,
implementation and operation of AI solutions for telecom use
cases.
Collaborating with Network Operators to Speed AI Adoption and
Innovation
Dell is already partnering with CSPs in the Dell Telecom
Open Ecosystem Labs to develop AI solutions with Dell AI Factory
infrastructure and ecosystem partners to enhance customer
experiences and improve network performance.
- Lintasarta, an Indonesian information and communication
technology solutions company, is offering GPU Merdeka, a GPUaaS, to
provide AI infrastructure, including NVIDIA GPUs with Dell
PowerEdge XE9680 servers, for national businesses.
- SK Telecom, Dell, and other partners are
collaborating to develop an AI chat agent for communications
service providers. By creating the Mobile Network Operator (MNO) AI
Platform, the team aims to integrate AI into existing business
support systems (BSS) to enhance telecom business operations, drive
revenue growth and quickly address and solve customer
problems.
"As part of our collaboration with Dell Technologies and NVIDIA,
Lintasarta will provide GPU-as-a-Service (Deka GPU) with Dell AI
infrastructure and NVIDIA GPUs for national businesses, providing
them access to the latest AI capabilities tailored for high-demand
computing tasks," said Gidion Suranta Barus, Chief Cloud Officer,
Lintasarta.
"The creation of the Mobile Network Operator (MNO) AI Platform
signifies a pivotal step in integrating AI into existing business
support systems (BSS). This innovation aims to not only enhance our
telecom business operations, but also drive revenue growth and
resolve customer issues with unprecedented speed and efficiency by
minimizing legacy burdens and standardizing so that LLMs can easily
understand MNO products, supporting well-organized API calls
necessary for problem-solving. Through our collaboration with Dell
Technologies, we aim to accelerate AI adoption and innovation to
deliver superior service and value to our customers," said
Haisung Kwon, Head of MNO AI
Platforms, SK Telecom.

"Telecom networks provide a critical fabric to bring AI
applications to consumers and enterprises at scale.
With NVIDIA's AI suite, Dell is accelerating the adoption of
AI factories, AI-powered operations and AI-RAN in telecom, as well
as helping communications service providers apply these
technologies to augment their own network operations and enhance
customer experiences," said Ronnie
Vasishta, senior vice president, Telecom, NVIDIA.
"Our collaboration with Dell Technologies uses the Dell AI
Factory and Amdoc's amAIz platform to deliver AI solutions
that will transform business operations for communications service
providers and accelerate GenAI adoption," said Anthony Goonetilleke, group president of
technology and head of strategy, Amdocs.
