Dell Technologies 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.
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:
- 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.
Designed for telecom and edge use cases, the PowerEdge XR8000 servers are now available with NVIDIA L4 Tensor Core GPUs, facilitating AI deployments at the edge of the telecom network. These servers are available in compact form factors with a scalable, modular design that simplify deployment and maintenance.
Dell also helps CSPs design and deploy GPU-as-a-Service (GPUaaS) offerings, so they can provide on-demand NVIDIA GPU capacity for enterprise customers, unlocking new revenue opportunities. CSPs can deliver carrier-grade, low-latency AI inference and training closer to data, while enterprises can scale AI deployments and resources as needed.
Dell Professional Services support CSPs with their strategy, implementation, and operation of AI solutions for telecom use cases.

Haisung Kwon, Head of MNO AI Platforms, SK Telecom
The creation of the Mobile Network Operator (MNO) AI Platform signifies a pivotal step in integrating AI into existing business support systems (BSS). This innovation aims to not only enhance our telecom business operations, but also drive revenue growth and resolve customer issues with unprecedented speed and efficiency by minimizing legacy burdens and standardizing so that LLMs can easily understand MNO products, supporting well-organized API calls necessary for problem-solving. Through our collaboration with Dell Technologies, we aim to accelerate AI adoption and innovation to deliver superior service and value to our customers.
Dennis Hoffman, senior vice president and general manager, Telecom Systems Business, Dell Technologies
Capitalizing on the multiple opportunities presented by AI has become the most compelling driver of network cloud transformation. Dell AI for Telecom brings together Dell's AI expertise and infrastructure, with partners across the ecosystem, to help network operators implement AI solutions in and on the network that reduce OPEX, improve performance and create new edge revenue opportunities.
