CETIN Networks selects RADCOM AI assurance platform for Slovakia 5G network
CETIN Networks has selected RADCOM to deploy an AI-driven service assurance platform across its mobile network in Slovakia, supporting its transition to 5G Standalone and a cloudnative core.
Under the multi-year agreement, RADCOM will replace CETIN’ s legacy assurance provider with an end-to-end solution spanning the radio access network( RAN), voice services and core infrastructure. The deployment will consolidate network visibility onto a single subscriber-aware platform.
Based on the cloud-native RADCOM ACE platform and passive network probes, the solution captures and correlates signalling in real time. AI and machine learning capabilities will identify network degradation before it affects customers while RAN experience analytics will help teams investigate service performance.
The platform will also provide per-subscriber drill-down from high-level key performance indicators to individual users, helping CETIN accelerate complaint resolution and troubleshooting.
Voice quality assurance will cover Voice over LTE, Voice over Wi- Fi and Voice over New Radio, while SLA and KPI monitoring will support wholesale and key-account customers. Open data export will enable integration with OSS / BSS, business intelligence and external analytics systems.
Peter Poliak, Chief Technology Officer, CETIN Networks Slovakia, said the technology would provide the real-time assurance required as the operator rolls out 5G Standalone.
Benny Eppstein, Chief Executive Officer, RADCOM, said the platform would give CETIN end-to-end visibility across 4G and 5G.
The deal expands RADCOM’ s assurance footprint in Europe and could create further opportunities across CETIN International and the wider e & PPF Telecom Group. The group serves 12 million customers across four countries, increasing reach for RADCOM technology.
Bitdeer signs US $ 4.7 billion Norway AI data centre deal
Bitdeer has signed a 16-year colocation lease and services agreement for 121MW of AI and high-performance computing capacity at its Tydal data centre campus in Norway.
The agreement, signed through subsidiary Tydal Data Center AS with Volta Tydal AS, represents approximately US $ 4.7 billion in contracted revenue over the initial term. An eightyear renewal option could increase the total contract value to around US $ 8 billion over 24 years.
Volta’ s customer will be a leading AI lab, while Dell Technologies will serve as technology provider. The entire 121MW IT load will be configured to run NVIDIA GPUs.
The facility will be supported by an estimated 133MW of gross capacity and powered entirely by renewable energy. Bitdeer expects the data centre to achieve a power usage effectiveness rating of approximately 1.1.
Delivery is planned in two equal phases across four data halls. Phase one is targeted to commence on December 31, 2026, followed by phase two on March 31, 2027.
Bitdeer is also developing two additional data halls providing 47MW of gross capacity for future AI and HPC workloads during the second half of 2027.
Michael G. Potter, Chief Financial Officer, Bitdeer Technologies, said the agreement marked“ a key milestone in Bitdeer’ s evolution as a global AI infrastructure platform”.
The company said the project would combine NVIDIA GPU technology with Norway’ s reliable renewable power resources, supporting its ambition to establish the country as a major European destination for sustainable AI computing and strengthen Europe’ s rapidly expanding infrastructure for advanced artificial intelligence workloads.
