Titan.ium Platform on Telecom’s Next Leap: AI, Automation, and Zero-Touch Networks

Flexibility and Business Value at the Core 

Titan.ium Platform’s DNA is rooted in flexibility and efficiency, ensuring that technology serves a practical purpose rather than being innovation for innovation’s sake. Titan.ium’s modular approach allows customers to adapt solutions to their specific needs, ensuring seamless integration into existing networks. 

“Some of the highlights of this year’s MWC for us are really about going back to our DNA—flexibility in how we build software and efficiency in how we deploy it. We’re always asking: How does this impact our customers? How does it improve their operations, their security, their routing? Technology is only useful if it brings real business value,” said Lacoste.  

The Automation Revolution in Telecom 

For years, automation has been a major talking point in telecom, but Lacoste believes the industry is finally reaching a turning point.   

“The telecom industry has been talking about automation for a long time, but now it’s happening. With cloud-native technology, we can automate everything—from software lifecycle management to daily operations and maintenance. We’re moving into a world where intelligent automation is not just an idea, but an industry standard.” 

As an example, Lacoste described a German operator Titan.ium Platform worked with, helping them eliminate the need for overnight maintenance shifts by implementing a fully automated GitOps model. Despite this progress, he acknowledged that full automation is still years away, but he believes the transition is well underway. 

Modernizing Legacy Infrastructure Without Disruption 

One of the biggest challenges for telecom operators is integrating new technology while maintaining legacy infrastructure. Titanium has tackled this issue head-on by designing its software to work across multiple generations of technology. 

Titanium’s customization-first approach has led to over 200 tailor-made applications, despite officially offering only 25 off-the-shelf products. 

AI in Telecom: More Than Just a Buzzword 

Walking through MWC 2025, buzzwords like AI, cloud security, and predictive analytics dominate the conversation. But for Titanium, AI is more than a trend—it’s a core component of real-time, mission-critical operations. 

“You hear AI everywhere at MWC, but at Titanium, we’re focused on how it actually improves telecom operations. We use AI for predictive maintenance, smart routing, and intelligent defense. The difference is, we’re not just using AI for backend data processing—we’re applying it in real-time, making networks smarter as they operate.” 

Titan.ium Platform is currently prototyping AI-powered, real-time transaction intelligence, ensuring instantaneous decision-making for critical telecom functions. 

“We’re working on AI solutions that make split-second decisions for things like network security and call routing,” he added. “This is real-time intelligence—not something that gets analyzed hours later in a data center.” 

Global Telecom Challenges and Regional Differences 

Lacoste also addressed the challenges operators face across different regions, emphasizing that telecom infrastructure varies widely depending on local regulations, technology availability, and economic conditions. 

With 180+ customers in 80 countries, Titanium has proven its ability to adapt to regional challenges. However, global expansion requires long-term stability, which is why Titanium has partnered with the Looming Group. 

“One of the biggest concerns for operators—especially in emerging markets—is whether a vendor will still be around in five or ten years,” said Lacoste. “With our partnership with the Looming Group, we can give our customers certainty. We’re not going anywhere.” 

He believes this move gives emerging market operators a strong alternative to larger, inflexible telecom vendors. 

The Next Five Years: Zero-Touch Operations and AI-Driven Networks 

Looking ahead, Lacoste predicted that the next five years will bring a radical transformation in how telecom networks are operated.  

“The next five years will bring a major shift in telecom operations,” Lacoste predicted. “Zero-touch operations, intelligent routing, predictive defense—these are the technologies that will define the future. And Titanium is determined to lead that transformation.” 

Titan.ium Platform’s approach is clear: flexibility, automation, and real-time intelligence. As telecom operators worldwide embrace AI-driven, automation-first networks, Titanium is positioning itself as the go-to partner for the future of telecom operations.
