Overview
The telecommunications industry is evolving at breakneck speed, with the advent of 5G, next-generation access (NGA) technologies, and the rising demand for fiber-based networks.
Even as these technological advancements necessitate core modernization at telecom enterprises, they must focus on tackling challenges such as inaccurate, non-constructible designs and poor program governance. Besides they risk low throughput, unpredictable ROI, and significant cost and schedule overruns.
To achieve scalability with speed and certainty, telecom enterprises need digitally enabled network design services. Powered by data and automation, TCS’ network planning and design services help telcos redefine their markets and develop innovative solutions. Our services address the network expansion and update requirements of telecom operators. This helps them become agile, reduce fixed operations costs, improve profit margins, and swiftly introduce next-gen services. Spanning across network plan and design for wireline (copper, coax, FTTx) and wireless (RAN and backhaul), TCS Fixed Network Engineering Services enable service delivery ecosystem with partners for field construction, build, and repair based on the customer needs.
Our Solution
TCS understands the constraints telcos operate with when it comes to network rollout and maintenance.
Stringent delivery timelines, opex saving needs, robust governance, and adaptability to business changes are some such. To navigate these complexities, TCS offers the following services:
- Optimized and constructible design: Detect defects early in the lifecycle, leading to lower constructions costs. Manage multi-stakeholder dependencies spread across design and construction teams, power companies, EHS compliance bodies, and so on, through integrated workflows.
- Process excellence: Digitize the entire end-to-end process across all stakeholders. Define and deploy metrics that matter to improve process outcomes -- design accuracy, speed, network rollout investment per premises. Preempt construction-related delays through joint field walkouts.
- Automation and technology infusion: Automate design and field survey processes with TCS’ tailor-made solutions. Simplify collaboration among design and field engineering through a unified collaboration platform.
- Outcome-based approach: Ensure end-to-end ownership of all tasks involved in planning and designing such as field survey, approvals from authorities, supporting construction. Augment design expertise with recognized local specialists who bring localized knowledge and have existing relationships with construction contractors.

Benefits
Delivered through an outcome-based outsourcing model, TCS’ services cover all the aspects of network plan and design.
We provide turnkey solutions across the network lifecycle by leveraging people, process, and technology stack readiness. TCS’ solutions help automate the process, end to end, key modules being plan and design automation suite, defect manager, field force application, workflow manager, document manager, network enablement, installation and fault repair.
With TCS’ solutions and services, communications service providers (CSPs) can realize the following benefits:
- Speed and scale enhancement: Witness two times faster design delivery speed and gain a definitive market advantage.
- Zero defect design: Minimize errors and deliver over 99% right first-time designs, reducing the time to market.
- Committed cost savings: Unlock up to 30% cost reduction, improving the business bottom line and freeing investments for future value add.
- Rich customer experience: Leverage automation solutions to achieve key business metrics such as cycle time reduction, throughput, quality, cost optimizations, which ultimately drive customer satisfaction.
- End-to-end program governance: Enable 360-degree program governance with seamless collaboration among all stakeholders and complete visibility into construction projects.
The TCS advantage
TCS has a proven track record in driving network transformation for telecom operators across the globe.
By partnering with TCS, you stand to gain from the following:
- Software centric approach: As one of the world’s leading software service providers, TCS delivers superior efficiencies across the fiber rollout lifecycle, by harnessing advanced technologies and industry best practices.
- Strong domain experience: Backed by years of experience in network rollout and engineering, TCS offers a comprehensive and differentiated service framework. Our multiple CoEs across telecommunications, business processes, and GIS focus on network planning and design innovation.
- Ready-to-use hosted platform: Network rollout allows quick process standardization and digitalization across the network planning and design value chain. TCS Network Rollout offers scalable design throughput encompassing all the auxiliary functions of the rollout, leading to faster time to market.
- Wide partner and stakeholder network: Customers can access TCS’ deep alliances with technology and field partners, helping to rapidly generate construction blueprints with a high right-first-time ratio.
- Market differentiation: TCS Network Rollout is inbuilt with domain intelligence (DI), which drives ease in decision making in the design journey leading to improved design TAT unlike market tools where manual changes in design are required post design output.
