Check out Telecom Ramblings for CEO William Bain’s new article, “Network Digital Twins: Net Generation Active Control for Telecoms.” Dr. Bain explains how telecom networks are evolving toward more complex, dynamic architectures and why managers need new monitoring and reconfiguration techniques to ensure that networks deliver high performance and reliability.

Telecom networks now span wide geographical areas, support millions of network elements, and must maintain consistent quality while responding quickly to disruptions. Traditional monitoring and management tools were not built for this level of complexity.

A Network Digital Twin (NDT) offers a software-based, dynamic monitoring and simulation tool that continuously synchronizes with real-world data. Using live telemetry, predictive modeling, and AI, an NDT mirrors real-time network conditions, detects anomalies and bottlenecks, and evaluates optimizations such as traffic rerouting or resource reallocation. Managers can plan, test, and respond without disrupting live infrastructure prior to responding to network issues.

To achieve the speed and scale needed for real-time insights, a software technology called in-memory computing (IMC) can help track and model millions of interconnected components. ScaleOut Software has pioneered numerous innovations as an industry leader in IMC. By maintaining state information in memory and analyzing telemetry in milliseconds for millions of network components, IMC can enable an NDT to continuously evaluate performance, identify emerging issues, and resolve them before customers notice a problem.
