This week, Netradar had the privilege of joining TM Forum’s Innovate Asia, one of the region’s most influential gatherings for telecom innovation. The event brought together operators, vendors, and technology leaders shaping the future of digital networks.
Throughout the event, we met with 50+ customers and partners across APAC, holding deep discussions on network experience, AI-driven automation, and the future of customer-centric telecom operations. It was an inspiring platform to exchange ideas, explore new opportunities, and showcase the collective achievements of our ecosystem.
Proud to Be Finalists in Two Award Categories
We are delighted to share that our joint Catalyst project was selected as a finalist in not one, but two categories at Innovate Asia:
Business Gamechanger and Innovation with Purpose.
This recognition is a strong validation of the collaborative work we’ve done to help telecom operators rethink how they invest, optimize, and deliver customer experience more effectively.
About the Catalyst
Our Catalyst focused on solving one of the industry’s biggest challenges:
How can operators make smarter, real-time, customer-centric network investment decisions?
By combining AI-driven analytics, a decentralized Physical Infrastructure Network (DePIN) model, and continuous real user experience data, the solution transforms everyday smartphones into a global sensing network. Users are incentivized transparently through blockchain-backed rewards, while operators gain:
- 24/7 hybrid-quality customer experience insights
- AI-driven root-cause analysis for faster troubleshooting
- Predictive congestion and targeted investment recommendations
- 10–15% improvement in customer retention
- Up to 10% reduction in CAPEX
This marks a significant shift from traditional engineering-led investment decisions toward experience-led, data-driven network optimization.
A Celebration of Partnership
While becoming finalists is something we’re truly proud of, the real success of this Catalyst lies
in the exceptional collaboration behind it.
From designing the concept to aligning the technical architecture and business outcomes, every partner brought unique expertise, energy, and a commitment to innovation. This joint effort shows what can be achieved when we combine strengths and work toward a shared purpose.
Looking Ahead
Innovate Asia reinforced an important message: the future of telecom lies in openness—open data, open collaboration, and open innovation across operators, vendors, and communities.
We’re proud of what we achieved together at Innovate Asia, and we’re excited for the next steps as we continue scaling this approach globally with our partners and customers.
