Telecommunications

Telecommunications networks are undergoing the most significant architectural transformation in their history — and the cloud is at the centre of it. Lastcluster provides carrier-grade cloud infrastructure that telco operators, MVNOs, and communications service providers need to deploy 5G core functions, modernise operational systems, deliver edge computing services, and compete in a market where infrastructure performance is the product.

KEY CAPABILITIES FOR TELECOMMUNICATIONS:

• 5G Core Network Functions (CNF/VNF) — Cloud-native infrastructure for containerised 5G core network function deployment including AMF, SMF, UPF, PCF, NRF, and AUSF — orchestrated via Kubernetes on Lastcluster's managed container platform. Bare-metal and dedicated cloud options available for network functions requiring deterministic latency and hardware-level performance guarantees.

 

• OSS/BSS Modernisation — Cloud environments for the migration and re-platforming of legacy Operations Support Systems and Business Support Systems to cloud-native architectures — including network inventory, fault management, order management, billing, CRM, and revenue assurance platforms.

 

• Subscriber Data Management — High-availability, low-latency database infrastructure for Home Subscriber Server (HSS), Unified Data Management (UDM), and Policy Control Function (PCF) subscriber record management — with active-active configurations meeting five-nines carrier availability requirements.

 

• Edge Computing & MEC Infrastructure — Multi-access Edge Computing (MEC) node deployment in Lastcluster's UAE data centres, enabling telco operators to offer ultra-low-latency compute services to enterprise customers — for use cases including autonomous vehicle data processing, industrial IoT, augmented reality, and real-time video analytics.

 

• Network Analytics & AI Operations — GPU-backed infrastructure for network traffic analytics, anomaly detection, predictive network failure modelling, and AI-driven network optimisation — processing telemetry from millions of network elements in real time with sub-second detection-to-action capability.

 

COMPLIANCE & CARRIER STANDARDS:

• ETSI MANO compliance for network function orchestration, lawful intercept (LI) architecture requirements per ETSI TS 101 671 and ETSI TS 102 232, UAE TRA telecommunications sector regulations, and ISO 27001. Five-nines (99.999%) availability SLA available for network-critical workloads.
