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.

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.
