Our Great Opportunity

In our Automation Development Group, we are developing the next generation of automation apps that will allow operators to fully automate the management of their networks. We will achieve this through a mixture of O-RAN standards, ONAP opensource software, and cloud native microservices running in public or private cloud and deployed to customers daily using a world class CI/CD framework.

If you are still learning, also phenomenal, you will learn what we know.
