Catch Failures Before They Become Incidents

Your RIC is making decisions on stale data. Expanso validates telemetry at the edge, before it reaches your monitoring stack.

Stage split is illustrative. Where the time goes varies by deployment.
CHAPTER 01 · THE LAG
2.3s

Your RIC runs on the past.

Decisions about handovers, load balancing, and interference management happen on data that no longer reflects reality. The gap between collection and ingestion is where outages hide, and customers report them before your NOC does.

CHAPTER 02 · THE NOISE
4×

Four vendors, four formats, one mess.

Every O-RAN vendor's components emit telemetry differently, so your central tools correlate data that doesn't match. Duplicates pile on: they distort capacity planning, trigger false alarms, and you pay full ingest rates for data you already have. The noise is measurable in your environment, and most operators only measure it during a P1.

CHAPTER 03 · THE BILL
$847K

Per month. And growing with every site.

Every new cell site adds 2+ GB/hr of telemetry, most of it redundant, all of it billed at full ingest rates. One European carrier watched 8 TB/hr hit Splunk before asking why the noise was crossing the backhaul at all.

Expanso rewrites all three chapters at the cell site.

89ms
Fresh enough to act on

Validation happens where telemetry is born. Your RIC gets network state it can act on, not just report on.

1
Format across every vendor

Stale, malformed, and duplicate records are dropped at the gate, before they cross the backhaul. Four RAN vendors, one telemetry standard.

-47%
Observability spend

Only signal crosses the backhaul. The same carrier now sends 1.76 TB/hr and pays $449K/mo.

Nothing gets replaced. Expanso sits before your NMS, RIC, and Splunk.

The carrier from chapter three.

Their RIC was making handover decisions on 2.3-second-old data, multi-vendor formats made correlation unreliable, and the observability bill grew with every site. Expanso now validates telemetry at every cell site, before data enters the backhaul.

Common questions

Does Expanso replace our NMS or RIC?

No. Expanso sits before your monitoring tools. It validates telemetry at the edge so your NMS, RIC, and SIEM operate on trusted data. Your tools stay where they are.

How quickly can we deploy?

Timing depends on site preparation, connectivity, credentials, component configuration, validation, and operational acceptance. Start with a bounded group and expand after measurement.

What cost reduction can we expect?

Filtering or aggregating records before a configured output can reduce downstream volume, but no fixed saving is guaranteed. Establish a baseline and calculate the result from observed network and destination costs.

Your telemetry should prevent failures, not explain them.
