Tata Elxsi and Sky have reached a major milestone in their partnership, speeding up the shift to AI-led autonomous networks through Tata Elxsi’s NEURON platform portfolio.
As part of this collaboration, Tata Elxsi is helping Sky modernize network provisioning, unify cross-domain inventory and operations, improve service agility, and build a scalable base for autonomous networks.
At the center of this effort is Tata Elxsi’s NEURON platform portfolio, an AI-driven suite designed to accelerate autonomous network transformation. It brings together telco cloud lifecycle automation, multi-domain network engineering, service-aware inventory, and observability to help communications service providers simplify operations, improve agility, and move closer to autonomous networks.
The NEURON portfolio includes:
- Telco Cloud Automation, which supports end-to-end 4G and 5G lifecycle management across Day 0 to Day 2 operations
- Digital Network Engineering, which enables multi-domain automation across metro, CDN, broadband, and ISP networks
- Service-Aware Inventory, known as PlanNet, which provides cloud-native, unified visibility across network and service domains
Together, these capabilities support standardization, intent-driven automation, and orchestration across hybrid and multi-domain environments, helping speed up the journey toward autonomous networks.
Sky is already seeing measurable results from the NEURON deployment, including up to 30% better operational efficiency through automation, stronger cybersecurity and regulatory compliance, and 60% to 70% cost efficiencies through modernized inventory and intent-driven automation. The platform has also helped reduce network change lead times by up to 50% and cut network change failure rates by up to 30%.
Tata Elxsi also embeds AI across its platforms and services, enabling smarter automation, predictive operations, and data-driven decisions across the network lifecycle.
Leadership Comments
Laurent Lavallee, Group Director of Networks, Sky: “NEURON is helping to transform how our networks operate – improving visibility, simplifying processes and accelerating service delivery. In doing so, it enables a more reliable, seamless experience for our customers as we move towards more intelligent, automated network operations.”
Rajagopalan Rajappa, CTO, Communication Technologies & Platforms, Tata Elxsi: “Through NEURON, we are enabling Sky to transition toward autonomous operations by combining AI-driven automation with inventory-led network intelligence, delivering measurable efficiency and agility.
Across our engagements with telecom operators in Europe, the Middle East, and other global markets, we see a common set of challenges—legacy network environments, fragmented multi-domain inventory, and increasing cost pressures—driving a shift toward platform-led transformation. Our work with Sky demonstrates how NEURON provides a clear pathway to modernizing operations, automation at scale, improving efficiency, and enabling AI-led autonomous networks.”
