Deutsche Telekom telco cloud cuts 5G core energy by up to 65%

Deutsche Telekom telco cloud cuts 5G core energy by up to 65%
Deutsche Telekom’s early live results showing up to 65% energy savings in its 5G core spotlight a pragmatic path to cut opex and carbon as traffic surges and standalone 5G scales. Operators have wrung out much of the easy efficiency from hardware refreshes; the next gains come from software-driven, demand-aware control. DT is applying that logic to the core, shifting components to run only when needed rather than idling at full power. The results are enabled by DT’s “Horizontal Telco Cloud,” a unified, standards-based platform that replaces fragmented stacks with one common layer for core services. Initial live-network tests have been completed, with broader rollout planned and further detail expected at MWC Barcelona 2026.

Amdocs aOS: Agentic AI for Telco Operations

Amdocs aOS: Agentic AI for Telco Operations
Amdocs is launching aOS, an agentic operating system for telecom, to move CSPs from AI pilots to production-scale, cross-domain automation. Amdocs’ aOS targets that gap with a multi-agent architecture that automates complex workflows while keeping humans in the loop for policy and final decisions. At the foundation is a “Cognitive Core” that manages telco-specific knowledge, agent libraries, and guardrails. aOS pricing will lean on outcome-based SLAs, tying spend to measurable business impact such as resolution rates, handle-time reductions, activation velocity, or assurance KPIs. aOS is Amdocs’ bid to make agentic AI the connective tissue of telco operations.
