Intelligent slicing at operator scale
AI-driven network orchestration for a 100M-subscriber operator.
GLOBAL TELECOM OPERATOR · 100M+ SUBSCRIBERS // 24 WEEKS // BOLT GROUP
Rolling out 5G without dynamic resource orchestration means under-utilization at off-peak and congestion at peak — neither serves customers, and both break SLAs. Legacy provisioning took hours of manual work per slice. The operator needed intelligence, not more hardware.

Four moves, built to compound.
- 01
Demand forecasting
Predictive models over historical traffic, event schedules, and real-time telemetry. Per-slice forecast accuracy: 93%.
- 02
Dynamic orchestrator
Kubernetes-native engine provisions, scales, and tears down slices in under 60 seconds from demand signals.
- 03
Observability platform
Custom dashboards for latency, throughput, utilization, and SLA compliance — real-time across thousands of concurrent slices.
- 04
Self-healing
Automated remediation detects anomalies, reroutes traffic, and rebalances resources without human intervention.
- Principal-ledSenior engineers and architects on the keyboard from week one. No staffing pyramid, no handoffs to juniors mid-engagement.
- Production-firstEvery artefact ships behind a load balancer. We measure success in throughput, latency, and uptime — not slides.
- Outcome-boundScope, milestones, and acceptance criteria locked at kickoff. We commit to the metric that moves your P&L.

What shipped. In production.
"5G margin is unlocked by orchestration, not spectrum. Operators who treat the network as software — not infrastructure — capture the premium."
Three shapes. One delivery standard.
Defined outcome. Fixed price.
We scope, build, and ship a discrete production system end-to-end. Best when the brief is sharp and the deadline is real.
Embedded pod. Monthly cadence.
A senior pod plugs into your team for a multi-quarter horizon. Roadmap evolves; the engineers stay constant.
Senior eyes. Surgical scope.
Architecture review, model audit, or technical due diligence. Days to weeks. Written recommendations, not slideware.
