5G deployment automation: how Camunda 8 transforms telecom rollouts

The telecommunications industry is rapidly evolving with the deployment of 5G networks, expected to surpass 7.7 billion connections by 2028 (GSMA Intelligence). While 5G brings unparalleled speed, low latency, and massive device connectivity, telecom providers face major operational and technical challenges, including:

• Complex site acquisition and geographic information system (GIS) integration.
  
• Regulatory compliance with spectrum licensing and local laws.
  
• Managing network virtualization (NFV) and software-defined networking (SDN).
  
• Seamless coordination between vendors, regulators, and infrastructure providers.

Without automation, these challenges can delay deployments and increase costs. This is where hyperautomation with Camunda 8 revolutionizes the process, optimizing workflows and ensuring faster, more scalable 5G rollouts.

The 4 biggest challenges in 5G deployment and how automation solves them

The rollout of 5G networks presents a major leap in telecommunications, offering higher speeds, lower latency, and massive device connectivity. However, achieving seamless deployment at scale comes with significant operational and technical challenges. 

Site acquisition and infrastructure planning

Identifying ideal locations requires GIS integration and compliance validation. Manual processes delay approvals and lead to inefficiencies. Camunda 8 automates site selection and regulatory compliance, reducing the risk of delays.

Regulatory compliance and spectrum licensing

Spectrum allocation requires strict compliance with local and international regulations. Ensuring proper licensing can be time-consuming and complex. Camunda 8 enables real-time validation and automated regulatory approvals, accelerating deployment.

Network configuration and virtualization

5G networks rely on NFV and SDN to optimize performance and scalability. Automating network configuration ensures seamless provisioning, real-time adjustments, and reduced downtime. Camunda 8 integrates with existing systems to facilitate these automated processes.

Multi-stakeholder coordination

Telecom operators must manage contracts, approvals, and logistics across multiple partners. Camunda 8 automates workflow orchestration, ensuring that vendors, regulators, and network operators remain aligned and projects move efficiently.

Traditional, manual approaches to deployment are no longer sufficient to meet the growing demands of 5G. To accelerate rollouts, reduce inefficiencies, and enhance network performance, automation is essential. By leveraging hyperautomation with Camunda 8, telecom operators can streamline critical deployment processes, minimize risks, and improve scalability.
