Circles, a global digital telecom software company, and Huawei, a global provider of information and communications technology (ICT) infrastructure and smart devices, have partnered to explore the joint delivery of AI-native, next-generation digital telecom solutions for operators globally.
"Telecom operators are at an inflection point where AI is no longer optional - it is foundational," said Sanjay Kaul, chief revenue officer at Circles. "Together with Huawei, we're combining network expertise and our AI-native digital BSS to help operators accelerate monetisation and deploy intelligent services at scale."
AI-native telecom innovation
The collaboration aims to combine Huawei's network and cloud capabilities with Circles' digital BSS vertical SaaS platform to help accelerate digital transformation, unlock real-time monetisation opportunities, and deploy intelligent, AI-driven services at scale across telecom operators globally.
The agreement entails exploring strategic integration across key telecom domains, including charging, policy control, cloud infrastructure, and intelligent automation.
"Huawei Cloud has been deeply engaged in supporting telecom operators' digital transformation worldwide. We look forward to working with Circles to develop joint solutions and bring Circles' products onto the Huawei Cloud Marketplace. Through joint marketing and market expansion, we aim to create greater value for operators and achieve a true one-plus-one greater-than-two collaboration," Alex Kang, Huawei Cloud Ecosystem president, said.
Scalable, sovereign-ready deployments
The parties will explore deploying Circles' SaaS platform on Huawei Cloud to support scalable, secure AI workloads for telecom operators, ensuring compliance with regulatory and performance requirements.
By leveraging Huawei's cloud infrastructure and Circles' AI digital stack, they aim to create an integrated network-to-digital architecture that promotes rapid service innovation and operational efficiency.
Joint go-to-market opportunities
Circles and Huawei may also consider joint go-to-market initiatives to offer their integrated solutions to telecom operators globally, helping them modernise legacy systems and transition to fully digital, AI-driven operating models.
