A Tier-1 telecom operator in Canada partnered with NetSingularity to automate the journey from network planning to a live, ready-to-serve O-RAN site, turning what used to be a full day of manual work into a two-hour, largely hands-off process, repeated at nationwide scale.
The Challenges
O-RAN gives operators more flexibility and more vendor choice, but that same flexibility means more moving parts to coordinate every time a new site goes live. Before NetSingularity, bringing a single site into service meant multiple teams manually preparing data, configuring equipment, checking connectivity and validating the result, one step at a time. None of that work was hard on its own; it was the sheer number of handoffs between people and systems that made every rollout slow, and made the outcome depend heavily on who happened to be running it. That created a ceiling on how fast the network could grow, right at the moment growth mattered most competitively.
Manually coordinating every site meant turn-up was measured in days, not hours, a real drag on how fast the network could grow.
Scaling site rollout simply meant hiring more engineers to repeat the same manual steps, rather than making the process itself faster.
Manual work varies person to person and site to site, which shows up later as inconsistent quality and harder troubleshooting.
When turn-up time depends on who's available and how smoothly the handoffs go, it's difficult to give the business a reliable rollout schedule.
Skilled engineers spent their hours on repetitive coordination work instead of the higher-value problems that actually needed their judgment.
The Solution
NetSingularity became the single automation layer connecting every stage of site rollout, so the operator's team defines what needs to happen, and the platform handles the coordination.
Site planning data flows in automatically from connected systems the moment it's ready, with no manual upload and no waiting on a handoff.
Network setup, hardware bring-up and configuration all run automatically, with no large field crew manually working through each step.
Every site is automatically verified before it's marked live, so issues get caught before customers ever notice.
Every step is tracked end to end, giving leadership real-time confidence in rollout progress at any scale.
Site planning data is pulled in automatically from connected systems the moment it's ready, with no manual upload.
On site, device details such as QR code, serial number and ID are captured automatically via the mobile app. No manual data entry.
Device and network service provisioning starts automatically the moment site data is complete, for any coverage type, macro or micro.
Configuration is generated and deployed automatically, and the site moves from provisioned to live and monitored.
The Impact
The real win isn't just speed on any one site; it's that the same simple, automated process now works whether it's the 1st site or the 5,000th. That's what lets network growth keep pace with business ambition, without operational cost growing at the same rate. And because the process is repeatable rather than reinvented per site, quality stops depending on which team or which engineer happened to run it.
Time to revenue
Every site that goes live sooner starts generating value sooner, and compounded across thousands of sites, that adds up fast.
Cost per rollout
Less field time and fewer manual handoffs per site means rollout economics improve even as volume increases.
Quality, nationwide
The same automated checks run on every site, so quality doesn't vary by team, region or who was on shift.
Headcount curve
The operations team scales the network without needing to scale 1:1 with the number of sites.
Faster site turn-up means faster time to revenue on every new site, lower cost per rollout, and more consistent quality across the network, all without needing to scale the field team in step with network growth. It also lays the foundation for the next step: a network that doesn't just deploy itself, but increasingly monitors, diagnoses and heals itself too.
NetSingularity helps telecom operators turn network deployment from a manual, multi-team effort into a fast, repeatable, automated process, built to run at national scale.
A network of hundreds of thousands of sites generating ~1.25 crore alarms a day, handled by static correlation rules and manual RCA. Six coordinated AI capabilities turned that flood into unique actionable incidents, without a single byte leaving the operator's estate.
Thousands of change requests a month across hundreds of change categories, assessed by checklist and delivered by hand. Seven coordinated flows turn each CR into a risk-scored, simulation-backed, auditable operational outcome.
A pan-India optical backbone built over years from more than a dozen equipment vendors, each with its own element manager on its own island. One cloud-native OSS now normalizes all three layers into a single operational picture.
