Tier 1 Service Provider Accelerates 5G Deployments by 75% through Backhaul Network Automation & Orchestration with Itential

Tier 1 Service Provider, a global communications service provider, needed to accelerate its 5G rollout while facing supply chain shortages that prevented its existing cell site router vendors from delivering on time. To avoid delays and the high cost of integrating a new vendor into its backhaul operations, the company turned to Itential and its cloud platform for IP backhaul router automation and orchestration.

With Itential, Tier 1 Service Provider integrated a new router vendor into its multi-vendor, multi-domain environment while connecting automation to its existing engineering portal and configuration management processes. The result was a 75% faster 5G cell site router deployment, a 50% reduction in manual engineering effort, and a 200% productivity increase for cell site engineers, all while eliminating manual errors and avoiding major project disruption.
