Dell Technologies announced that it has expanded its Dell AI for Telecom program, working with Intel to bring new solutions to communications service providers (CSPs) that support network operations and enterprise edge use cases.

The company said the new solutions help CSP's easily bring AI into to their network for efficiency, reliability and cost savings, and build AI solutions at the edge to monetize the investments in their network with the enterprise.

New network operations solutions include:

Intent-Based RAN Assistant with Aira: A GenAI tool powered by AiRA Technologies, RANGPT enables CSP network engineers to intelligently pool data and generate simple applications and scripts based upon intent. The tool also tests, registers and deploys code on the network, in turn accelerating application development and driving network operational efficiencies.

Network Traffic Analysis and Optimization with Opanga: RAN software is quickly deployed into the mobile core (either edge or centralized), allowing operators to gain visibility of previously unavailable data traffic. CSPs can use this traffic analysis to dramatically increase their network efficiency.

AI-Powered Network Automation-in-a-box with EnterpriseWeb: EnterpriseWeb's Netwrx.ai provides CSPs with GenAI-powered 5G network automation in a box. Its intent-based natural language interface means users can talk to Netwrx.ai to compose network elements, supported by full stack provisioning, orchestration and management.

New enterprise edge solutions include:

AIoT-Powered Site Security for Safer Venues with EPIC.IO: The solution combines an IoT software suite with Open AI to integrate AI models, automate logic and enable visualization to support safer venues. Centralized management provides complete visibility of locations from edge devices, with automation that streamlines security operations. The scalable solution enables CSPs to extend coverage to new sites as they roll out.

Vision AI for Smart Manufacturing with Chooch: Chooch Vision AI offers computer vision-based incident prediction and detection. Manufacturers can build computer vision solutions in minutes, enabling smart processes that avoid production interruptions and improve productivity. Anomalies are caught using object detection and image recognition at the edge or cloud, enhancing efficiency for manufacturers.

AI-Powered Mission Critical Communication with Ecrio: The AI/ML based framework enables human to machine communication for the voice command and control of IoT devices, including cameras, drones and robots.

Real-Time AI-Powered Crowd Analytics with WaitTime: The end-to-end deployment combines video analytics with existing cameras to generate real-time insights. These can be used to optimize operations, while enabling communication via dashboards, digital and mobile displays.

AI-Powered Smart Transportation with A.I Tech: The solution uses AI and deep learning for smart video analysis, helping to monitor vehicles, traffic, parking and pedestrian traffic, creating more efficient transport systems.

Footfall and Crowd Analytics with TensorGo: TensorGo uses video analytics of existing camera feeds to monitor footfall and crowds. Smart cities can count vehicles and detect parking spaces; retailers can monitor store security; while transportation can support safety compliance.

AI Powered Worker Safety and Hazard Detection with Aotu: A solution that enables applications to leverage AI for real-time video analysis.

Intelligent Video Analytics for Retail, Transportation and Ports with Gorilla: The AI solution uses existing CCTV video data to detect abnormal events and provide actionable analytics, all through a single dashboard.

AI Powered Video Analytics Solution for Worker, Transportation and Site safety with Axxonsoft: The software is used across many verticals to maintain site security.

Inventory Visibility and Management with C5i: The solution identifies inventory issues and recommends proactive corrective actions.

As demand for AI solutions grows, Intel and Dell have optimized edge, running on Dell PowerEdge XR8000 servers and powered by Intel Xeon processors, which are packed with AI instruction sets.

These applications offer:
- Optimized Edge AI Applications: Verified for Intel architecture, ensuring better TCO and scalability.
- Ruggedized Hardware: NEBS Level 3 certified, suitable for extreme environments.
- Multiple Connectivity Options: Support for wired, Wi-Fi and Private 5G networks.

Key features include:
- Validated Designs: Efficient deployment with proven configurations tested by Dell and industry partners.
- Flexible Workloads: Host AI workloads from edge to cloud, offering real-time decision-making capabilities.
- Scalable Infrastructure: Open systems to trial and scale out architecture for better total cost of ownership for Gen AI and traditional AI use cases.
- Ability to bring AI workloads to anywhere in the network from core to edge to RAN and beyond.

"The future of telecom is smarter and more efficient, thanks to AI's ability to automate and optimize network operations. CSPs are facing challenges that require solutions beyond human capabilities. Imagine trying to monitor, optimize and fix network functions in real-time, 24/7. That's where AI steps in. By adopting solutions like Dell AI for Telecom, CSPs can choose how to accelerate their AI journeys with Dell's ecosystem of silicon and ISV partners," said Andrew Vaz, VP, Product Management - Telecom Systems Business, Dell Technologies.
