DaasLabs Telecom · Data and AI services for operators

From connectivity provider to intelligent, AI-native operator.

DaasLabs teams set your data and AI strategy, build the BSS, OSS and CDR data platforms, transform revenue assurance, fraud, customer and network operations, and run what we build — on our Data Fabric Framework, telecom accelerators and a supervised digital workforce of AI agents.

02The pressureChapter 1

Seven forces are reshaping the operator — each one lands on data.

Growth

Traffic up, ARPU flat

Data demand keeps climbing; revenue per user doesn't. Unlimited plans and price competition push value to the apps that ride the network.

Data & AI: evidence-based pricing, bundles, upgrade propensity.
Investment

5G and fibre must pay back

Heavy network capex arrives years before the revenue. Boards want proof that each site, street and spectrum block earns its return.

Data & AI: demand forecasting and capex prioritisation.
Trust

Fraud and scams industrialise

SIM swap, account takeover, SIM box, IRSF and smishing hit revenue and customers at once — and regulators expect operators to act.

Data & AI: real-time scoring and agents that gather the evidence.
Customer

Churn decided by experience

A slow network, a disputed bill or a long wait in care: customers leave for reasons spread across systems no single team sees.

Data & AI: churn linked to its cause; dispute timelines.
Operations

Networks too complex to run by hand

Multi-vendor, cloud-native 5G multiplies alarms and configuration; energy is now a top operating cost. Autonomy has to be earned safely.

Data & AI: alarm correlation, predictive maintenance, NOC agents.
Technology

Legacy BSS/OSS and data silos

Billing, CRM, mediation, inventory and network data live in separate stacks with different IDs. Every new use case starts with another extract.

Data & AI: one governed fabric, network event to invoice.
Regulation

AI rules, privacy and scrutiny

Regulators expect lineage behind every return, consent behind every campaign and supervised AI behind every automated decision.

Data & AI: data office, lineage, AI & agent governance.

Every pressure lands somewhere on the value chain.

Operators pulling ahead treat data as a product and AI as an operating capability. The response isn't one platform or one model — it is data and AI applied domain by domain, on a shared, governed foundation.

03The pressureChapter 1

Operator data and AI programmes stall where data, meaning, control and people aren't designed together.

The four situations we are usually called into — and what changes when the programme starts from a governed foundation.

The situation

BSS, OSS and the warehouse disagree

“Active subscriber”, “revenue” and “site” mean different things in billing, CRM, OSS and the warehouse, so every KPI is reconciled by hand.

With DaasLabs

Sources connected once through the data fabric, with one meaning in a telecom ontology your teams own.

Layers 2 · 3 · 4
The situation

AI pilots don't reach production

Churn models and GenAI care assistants impress in a demo, then stall on data access, privacy review and the question of who will run them.

With DaasLabs

The pilot is built on the target architecture from day one — gateway, evaluation and release gates included — so it becomes the first production release.

Layers 1 · 10
The situation

Leakage and fraud are found too late

Usage is checked against the bill by sampling, fraud alerts queue for days, and every block or credit is keyed in by a person.

With DaasLabs

Agents reconcile and investigate continuously, then act through typed, limited actions with policy checks and human approval.

Layers 7 · 8 · 12
The situation

Regulators ask for lineage and evidence

Regulators, privacy authorities and auditors want proof of where a reported number came from and who accessed subscriber data.

With DaasLabs

Lineage, policy-as-code and a complete run log make evidence a by-product of daily operations, not a quarterly scramble.

Layers 3 · 9

The technology rarely fails on its own. A DaasLabs pilot on the framework and an accelerator reaches a production-ready capability in 30–45 days because it doesn't start from zero.

04The pressureChapter 1

Operators are moving from copilots to supervised digital workforces — and data decides who gets there.

Then · AI assists a person
Now · a person supervises a squad of agents

So what for an operator: once agents work the cases, governed data, autonomy limits and audit trails become the deciding capabilities — not the model.

05The value chainChapter 2

Eight domains of the operator value chain — and where data and AI pay back in each.

Select a domain to see the question it faces, what data and AI do there, and what DaasLabs brings.

Network planning & build

Every 5G site and fibre street is a capital bet. The question is no longer only where coverage is weakest, but where capex will earn a return in revenue, retention or experience.

Cell & traffic historySite & fibre inventoryRevenue per areaCapex plans

Data & AI do

  • Traffic and demand forecasting by cell and cluster
  • Capex prioritisation scored on revenue, churn risk and experience
  • Fibre roll-out targeting: where homes passed will connect

DaasLabs brings

  • Network, subscriber and revenue data on one governed geo model
  • Investment cases the CFO and CTO both sign, with traceable assumptions
  • Planning data products reused by build, marketing and finance

Agents plan, call tools and gather evidence. Policy decides what goes straight through; a named owner approves everything else; a kill switch pauses all agents.

Case figures are live from the OODA fraud agents on the DaasLabs Telecom demo platform — not client results. Agents marked blueprint are configured per engagement.

13The workforceChapter 5

Agents do the legwork; an analyst makes the call when policy says so.

Replay: a SIM swap, a burst of one-time passwords, then a wallet login from a new device.

Observe Orient Decide Humangate Act& log OODA FRAUD AGENTS Case resolved & logged 9 of 9 steps
  1. 1Source systemsProvisioning records a SIM swap; the SMS centre delivers a burst of OTPs; the wallet sees a login from an unknown device.
  2. 2Data fabricStreaming ingestion lands the swap, the SMS records and the wallet events within seconds, quality-checked, as governed data products.
  3. 3Metadata & ontologyThe events resolve to the same subscriber, MSISDN, SIM, device and wallet account, with lineage back to each source.
  4. 4ContextPast swaps, device history, recent complaints and the account-takeover playbook are pulled together — only what this analyst may see.
  5. 5AgentsObserve and Orient agents call sim_swap_events risk_score, classify an account takeover and propose a wallet freeze and a callback, with evidence.
  6. 6PolicyKill switch, autonomy level, risk tier and exposure limits decide: straight through, or to a person.
  7. 7Human gateA fraud analyst reviews the evidence on one screen in the fraud command centre and approves, edits or rejects the proposal.
  8. 8ActionA governed, typed action freezes the wallet for a cooling period and opens a callback task — limited, idempotent and reversible.
  9. 9AuditEvery step, tool call and decision is recorded; outcomes feed the evaluation that decides whether autonomy can be raised.

15The journeyChapter 6

What could better revenue protection be worth to your operation?

Move the sliders to your own figures. The estimate applies your leakage and fraud assumptions, and compares manual alert handling with agents working the cases.

Revenue & leakage
Alert handling

Revenue protected per year

Leakage recovered / year

Fraud losses avoided / year

Every 100 alerts
60 close straight through40 go to an analyst

Estimate only, based entirely on the figures entered — not a quote, a benchmark or a DaasLabs result. Leakage recovered = revenue × leakage % × share recovered. Fraud avoided = revenue × fraud-loss % × reduction. Manual hours = alerts × minutes ÷ 60. Supervised hours = alerts × (1 − STP share) × review minutes ÷ 60. FTE = hours freed ÷ 150. Excludes platform and run costs.

18The journeyChapter 6

A 30–45 day accelerator pilot proves value on one use case before you commit to scale.

Fixed scope, fixed timeline, success criteria agreed up front — and a scale-up business case at the end.

One accelerator & its agent squad

Typically SHIELD (revenue assurance) or SENTINEL (fraud), agents starting at “act with approval”.

2–3 source systems

e.g. CDR/mediation, rating & billing, and CRM or SIM-swap events.

One business unit

Named business owner and RA or fraud SMEs for rules and UAT.
