Our analysis is grounded in first-hand operational experience — not vendor briefings or second-hand industry consensus. Patrick Lopez has personally led deployments of the technologies {Core Analysis} covers, from the world's first commercial Open RAN networks to the first multi-access edge computing deployments.

​

We cover what we deploy:

Open RAN, AI-RAN, and the AI Grid

RAN hardware to software — silicon (ASICs, FPGAs, accelerators), antennas, CU/DU, RIC, and SMO

Edge computing and distributed inference infrastructure

Telco cloud, network slicing, and core transformation

OSS/BSS modernisation, SMO, and network automation

Data infrastructure for AI — pipelines, governance, AI factories, and Sovereign AI in telecom environments

Lean Telco — a proprietary innovation methodology combining Lean Startup, Lean UX, and Wardley mapping

Operator business models and go-to-market strategy

​

For Operators & Service Providers

Architecture decisions, vendor selection, Open RAN and AI-RAN strategy, edge and AI Grid deployment planning. We've built these systems — we tell you what works and where the gaps are between vendor claims and production reality.

​

For Investors & PE/Infrastructure Funds

Technical due diligence on telco infrastructure assets and vendor technology claims. We evaluate whether technology performs as claimed and identify the risks a financial lens won't catch.

​

For Vendors & System Integrators

Strategy, competitive positioning, and market validation. We stress-test your claims against operator reality before your clients do — and help you identify where your positioning will hold and where it won't.
