The telecom industry is experiencing rapid technological advancements, particularly in 5G, 6G, MEC, IoT, cybersecurity and enterprise communication. New systems and solutions are being introduced to the market swiftly. Customer demands necessitate that telco labs be prepared to support these emerging technologies and systems, facilitating lab resource reservations and timesharing of resources and licenses for effective utilization and ease of use by various customers.

To meet market demands for quicker service launches, lab maintenance must be automated. This includes tasks such as new image upgrades, firmware updates, deployment of new devices, security patch implementation, device provisioning and reimaging. Telcos are actively exploring options to fully automate routine tasks and prepare their labs for future needs. This creates opportunities for proofs of concept and pre-production testing, not only for internal engineering teams but also for other telcos to use their labs as a service.

We invite you to explore our latest whitepaper to learn why modernizing telco labs is necessary for future purposes and how HCLTech’s capabilities are driving breakthroughs in the telecom industry.
