Dell Technologies Propels Telecommunications into the AI Era

Story Highlights

• Dell AI for Telecom program simplifies and accelerates AI deployments for communications service providers
• Dell extends collaboration with NVIDIA to transform telecom network operations with AI solutions, built on the Dell AI Factory with NVIDIA
• Dell collaborates with Lintasarta and SK Telecom to speed telecommunications AI adoption and innovation

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 study, 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.

Collaboration with NVIDIA

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.

PowerEdge XR8000 Server

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.

Collaborating with Network Operators

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.
