Telecommunications

Telecom platforms that scale like the networks they run on.

Operators across our markets are becoming fintechs, content providers and enterprise IT companies at once, on networks that generated 240 billion dollars for Africa alone last year. The constraint is no longer the radio layer. It is how fast the data, billing and customer platforms behind it can change.

What we hear

The pressures telecommunications leaders describe to us.

  • Legacy BSS/OSS stacks that make every new bundle a multi-month project
  • Customer care volumes that outgrow contact centres
  • Network telemetry too large for on-premises analytics
  • Fintech and enterprise lines of business that need cloud-native platforms
  • Churn in a market where switching takes one SIM swap

Use cases

What we build for telecommunications on AWS.

Customer care agents

Voice and chat agents that handle bundle, billing and SIM queries with escalation.

AWS: Amazon Bedrock, Amazon Connect, Amazon Lex

Network and usage analytics

Streaming CDR and telemetry pipelines with anomaly detection.

AWS: Amazon Kinesis, Amazon MSK, Amazon OpenSearch Service

Churn and next-best-offer models

Propensity models fed from a unified customer data platform.

AWS: Amazon SageMaker, Amazon Personalize

BSS/OSS modernisation

Containerised, API-first replacements for billing and provisioning components.

CPaaS and developer platforms

Messaging, voice and payment APIs engineered for billions of events.

Regulation and residency

Designed within the rules.

Lawful intercept, subscriber data localisation and sector licensing conditions shape what can move. We design hybrid architectures that keep regulated subscriber data in-country while analytics and AI run in the nearest AWS Region.

Questions

Common questions

Can AWS handle our event volumes?

Operators in the region already run billions of messages a year on AWS-based platforms. We design for your peak hour first and prove it with load tests before cutover.

We will share the relevant reference architecture, the compliance map for your country, and whether an AWS program could help offset the cost.
