Announcing the Dell AI for Telecom Certification

Certify with Dell AI for Telecom—drive innovation, trust and impact. Lead the telecom AI revolution today!

The telecom industry operates in a dynamic, competitive space where advanced technologies and innovation drive growth and success. At the intersection of telecommunications and artificial intelligence, Dell Technologies is proud to launch the Dell AI for Telecom Certification Program at this year’s Mobile World Congress. This program is designed to empower telecom AI ISVs (Independent Software Vendors) by certifying their solutions, enhancing their market credibility and unlocking unparalleled opportunities within the telecom ecosystem.

Dell Technologies’ new telecom certification program addresses the unique challenges of telecom AI vendors and helps communications service providers (CSPs) explore innovative solutions that drive revenue and make operations more efficient.

Bridging Innovation and Trust in Telecom AI

CSPs are looking to artificial intelligence to manage increasingly complex networks, optimize and automate operations and deliver exceptional customer service, all in real time. With so many telecom AI solutions entering the market, telecom AI ISVs need opportunities to stand out and earn CSPs’ trust.

Often, the ISVs developing AI solutions built their technologies in the public cloud using validation datasets to tune their models. In reality, CSPs are looking for on-prem solutions that are highly reliable and comply with government regulations regarding personally identifiable information and data sovereignty.

This is where the Dell AI for Telecom Certification Program steps in, providing a comprehensive certification process that not only qualifies telecom AI solutions but also addresses industries’ demands for reliability, performance and compliance.  The program leverages the cutting-edge infrastructure, automated test platform and comprehensive test tooling found in the Dell Technologies’ Open Telecom Ecosystem Lab (OTEL).

Why Telecom AI Vendors Need Certification

For telecom AI ISVs, earning the Dell AI for Telecom Certification opens doors in a competitive landscape. With the program, ISVs can:

  1. Gain Recognition and Build Trust. Certified vendors earn credibility and demonstrate solution readiness through Dell Technologies’ trusted reputation and rigorous testing for reliability and interoperability.
  2. Access the Best-in-Class Infrastructure. Vendors gain exclusive access to Dell PowerEdge AI servers and OTEL’s world-class testing facilities, enabling them to validate and optimize telecom AI solutions for seamless integration across networks.
  3. Differentiate Solutions and Drive Growth. The Dell Technologies Telecom Certified badge helps vendors stand out by showcasing innovation and enabling CSPs to leverage AI for enhanced services, customer experiences and network quality.

ISVs interested in certifying their telecom AI solutions through Dell’s program can start by partnering with OTEL. Our team ensures guidance throughout every step of the certification process, from infrastructure deployment and testing to market integration of validated solutions. This program is more than just a badge—it’s an opportunity to unlock technical and business growth while powering tomorrow’s telecom revolution.
