Your LLMs and RAG systems provide knowledge. MCP provides live network reality.
Together, they enable truly intelligent telecom operations.
Most telecom AI initiatives struggle because 80% of project cost goes to data engineering.
MCP provides clean, AI-ready interfaces to live systems—without cleansing legacy data.
RAG tells your agent what it knows. MCP tells your agent what's happening now. Together, they enable intelligent decisions grounded in both knowledge and reality.
Successful AI adoption requires disciplined focus on specific bottlenecks—not "boiling the ocean."
| Bottleneck | Current State | MCP-Enabled Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Cross-system visibility | "Swivel chair" operations across 4+ systems | Single natural-language query across OSS/BSS |
| Service qualification delays | Days to qualify enterprise opportunities | Minutes with automated network reality check |
| Alarm triage during outages | Reactive, severity-based prioritisation | Proactive, business-impact prioritisation |
| Trouble ticket diagnosis | Manual investigation, frequent escalation | Automated enrichment with expert knowledge |
| Change impact assessment | Tribal knowledge, incomplete analysis | Comprehensive cross-domain impact prediction |
Start with low-risk, high-value use cases. Build confidence. Scale with guardrails.
Each tier builds on the previous, creating a natural progression to autonomous operations.
Low Risk • Immediate Value
Cross-silo visibility for operations and business staff. No network changes required.
Medium Risk • Human-in-Loop
AI augments engineer productivity with recommendations. Human approves all actions.
Higher Risk • Guardrails Required
AI-initiated actions within defined boundaries. Full audit trails, human override.
Low Risk • Strategic Value
Read-only insights for executives and planners. Data-driven strategic decisions.
Apply Lean AI principles: target specific bottlenecks with a Minimum Viable Machine
Built on TM Forum Open Digital Architecture and CAMARA standards
MCP alone doesn't address security, access control, and data sovereignty.
The Telepath AI Broker provides the governance layer required for production telecom deployments.
Integration with operator IAM systems. OAuth 2.0, JWT, mTLS support.
Granular permissions aligned with operational roles. Agent-specific access levels.
Comprehensive logging for ISO 27001 and regulatory requirements. Immutable audit trails.
Protection against runaway automation. Configurable guardrails for autonomous operations.
Sensitive network data remains within operator control. On-premise deployment options.
MCP servers run in isolated containers with network policy enforcement.
