How Does AWS Telco Network Builder Work?

AWS Telco Network Builder simplifies the deployment of telecommunications networks into the following steps:

1. Design: Network architects use templates to design the desired network topology and configurations.
2. Build: AWS TNB provisions the necessary cloud resources and configures network functions automatically.
3. Deploy: Once the network is built, it is deployed with minimal manual input. Continuous monitoring ensures stability and performance.
4. Manage: Network functions can be scaled or modified based on demand using AWS’s monitoring and orchestration tools.

Real-World Scenario

Imagine a telecom operator planning to expand 5G coverage to a new city. Using AWS Telco Network Builder, the operator can:

1. Design: Select a pre-built 5G network template, customize configurations, and define deployment regions.
2. Build and Deploy: AWS TNB provisions resources and deploys virtualized network functions, integrating them with the existing network.
3. Monitor and Optimize: The operator uses Amazon CloudWatch and AI-driven insights to monitor network performance and optimize for customer experience.

As a result, the operator reduces deployment time by 50%, improves operational efficiency, and enhances service reliability.
