The Operational Applications research practice emphasises software and related services that are unique to the telecoms industry. Almost USD100 billion is spent annually on telecoms applications. These applications include traditional BSS and OSS but are increasingly related to virtual networks and orchestration. Cloud and 5G are driving many new requirements, but operational efficiency and agility are also big benefits of investing in telecoms applications.
