Facing challenges on your digital transformation journey?

In pursuit of increased operational efficiency and reduced operational costs, telecom operators are navigating through their complex digital transformation roadmaps. Recent studies within the telecom industry show widespread concerns about the challenges posed by outdated systems, with almost 3/4 of telecom executives citing legacy systems as a major barrier to achieving automation goals.

With network downtime costing an average of $5,600 per minute, the pressure to enhance reliability and reduce manual processes is critical. Additionally, the demand for improved user experiences has skyrocketed, with more and more customers expecting seamless connectivity. Addressing these challenges is essential for sustaining competitive advantage in the contemporary telecom industry.

Complete E2E fixed and mobile network cycle management solution

Aspire Telecoms Automation Portal (ATAP) is a powerful suite of software applications designed to drive operational efficiencies and boost network performance for mobile, fixed, and enterprise operators. By automating manual tasks and streamlining operations, ATAP reduces OpEx, accelerates operators’ digital maturity, and enables engineers to focus on higher-value activities. The platform ingests data from various sources, providing a holistic view of the network, and supports open or closed-loop configuration for zero-touch optimization, accelerating digital transformation. ATAP is divided into 5 categories to tackle different stakeholders and use cases.

ATAP enables operators to maximize their network performance and efficiency through the following benefits:
