The Challenge
Telcolabs, a telecom system integrator delivering 4G/5G, Open RAN, and core network solutions, needed to evolve its delivery model to meet modern performance and scalability expectations. Its traditional on-prem environments limited agility, delayed customer onboarding, and created operational overhead during deployments and lifecycle support.
As Telcolabs expanded across enterprise and government clients, it required a cloud-first transformation that would support rapid rollouts, CI/CD-driven deployments, and real-time observability — while staying telecom-grade reliable.
The Solution
Teleformation led the design and implementation of a cloud-native system integration framework on Google Cloud, allowing Telcolabs to deploy telecom solutions at scale with automation, repeatability, and built-in monitoring.
Key aspects of the solution included:
- Containerized Network Functions (CNFs): Migrated test and integration labs to Kubernetes clusters on GCP
- Infrastructure as Code: Delivered Terraform-based templates for Open RAN and EPC/NFV deployments
- CI/CD Pipelines: Built GitLab-based workflows for automated configuration, testing, and promotion of releases
- Multi-Cloud Flexibility: Enabled seamless testing across both GCP and AWS, depending on customer preference
- Monitoring Stack: Integrated Prometheus, Grafana, and alerting layers for real-time issue detection
- DevSecOps Best Practices: Shifted security left with image scanning, identity controls, and change tracking
The Outcome
✅ Deployment Time Reduced by 80%: Fully automated pipelines reduced rollout times from weeks to hours
✅ Operational Overhead Cut by 60%: Maintenance windows and manual validation were eliminated
✅ Improved Customer Onboarding: Faster testing and demo environments for prospects and partners
✅ Stronger Compliance: Secure by default architecture supports telecom regulatory needs
✅ Future-Ready Teams: Telcolabs engineers now use CI/CD and GitOps to deploy customer environments independently
Why Teleformation?
“Teleformation gave us more than automation — they transformed our delivery mindset. We now launch, monitor, and support telecom stacks in a way that’s modern, lean, and scalable. It has changed the game for us.”
