“Free Your Data”: Wavelo Redefines AI-Ready Infrastructure for Telecom Operators
Wavelo, a global leader in event-driven telecom software, has announced the release of “Free Your Data,” a new solution that will help CSPs expedite their AI ambitions by releasing vital data that has been concealed in legacy systems for a long time.
For years, one of telecom’s greatest challenges has been the inaccessibility of customer and network data buried within outdated BSS/OSS platforms, making it difficult for CSPs to scale AI initiatives effectively. Wavelo’s latest solution overcomes this barrier by converting static APIs into real-time event streams, giving operators the ability to orchestrate data seamlessly and feed AI platforms with contextual insights. By enabling immediate access to valuable data, CSPs can now accelerate automation, innovation, service launches, and overall productivity.
Justin Reilly, CEO of Wavelo, explained that many AI initiatives are stalling because operators cannot feed the large volumes of contextual data required into AI platforms in real time. As AI has become a key component of productivity and innovation, he underlined that Wavelo is dedicated to finding a solution. He added that companies who successfully use their data for AI would have a major competitive advantage in terms of customer experience and operational efficiency.
At the core of this solution is Wavelo’s system-agnostic, event-driven architecture, which offers a secure and flexible way for operators to translate API calls into live events. This allows them to modernize without the need for costly or high-risk system replacements.
Industry experts agree that the timing is ideal for such innovation. John Abraham, Principal Analyst at Appledore Research, noted that telecom’s AI transformation has been slowed by decades-old systems designed for efficiency rather than accessibility. He highlighted that CSPs urgently need solutions capable of unlocking data for AI without requiring disruptive or expensive overhauls, and that event-driven data extraction is now a critical enabler for scaling AI strategies.
The power of “Free Your Data” was showcased at DTW Ignite earlier this year, where it played a central role in a Catalyst project supporting a large-scale Internet of Moving Things use case by serving as the event-streaming backbone. The solution’s capacity to unlock untapped data across intricate ecosystems for AI-driven initiatives will also be showcased at Innovate Americas in Dallas.
Wavelo’s debut is establishing a new standard for telecom infrastructure that is prepared for AI. With the solution, CSPs can update at their own pace and have the capabilities they need to compete in an AI-driven future.
