Leveraging AI to Understand Our Networks and Customers
In today’s dynamic digital world, operational data has emerged as one of the most underutilized assets across industries—from telecommunications to manufacturing and energy. At Aispire, we believe the next wave of innovation won’t come from acquiring more data, but from unlocking intelligence from the data already flowing through our networks.
The data dilemma
Many organizations find themselves navigating a complex web of tools and siloed data repositories. These unnecessary inefficiencies limit their ability to understand and service their customers. Aispire helps network operators shift from a reactive stance to a proactive one with tools to innovate with confidence and consistently deliver excellent customer experiences.
Our mission at Aispire.ai
Our goal is simple: unlock the full potential of operational data—wherever it resides. Using standard telemetry feeds from an operator’s network, Aispire provides an out-of-band software solution that can assemble and analyze OTT content consumption at network scale. Continuous and real-time operation allows our software to create an evergreen digital twin of the network that upholds the highest standards for privacy and data sovereignty. With AI-assisted analytics, teams across the organization can make informed, data-driven decisions that optimize resource allocation, improve customer experiences, enhance network security, and enable personalized marketing and value-added services opportunities.
Real-world success: A blueprint for the mid-tier market
We’ve been working closely with a forward-looking, mid-tier cable operator to leverage Aispire’s network intelligence solutions for several challenging use cases. Since adopting Aispire’s platform, this operator has reduced downtime by pinpointing issues faster and used AI-driven analytics for early warnings about potential disruptions and optimized subscriber experiences.
A recent real-world test came during a major NFL playoff game streamed exclusively on Peacock TV. Facing their highest-ever streaming traffic peak, the operator used Aispire’s real-time analytics to monitor this specific traffic, manage bandwidth allocation, and prevent congestion. The result was uninterrupted service, valuable insights into peak usage patterns, and improved readiness for future high-traffic events.
As use cases for operational awareness continue to grow, this partnership represents an exciting step toward democratizing advanced observability.Traditionally, full-stack network observability was only available to the largest providers with dedicated resources for custom software development and data science. Now, mid-sized operators can access powerful, industry leading observability tools right out of the box.
This is what the future of broadband operations looks like—intelligent, proactive, and equitable across providers of every size.
Our DNA: Principles that power every deployment
- End-to-end observability: From user device to cloud, capture what matters most—real user experiences.
- Context is king: Align operational data with engineering and customer data to develop a single, integrated source of truth.
- Privacy and sovereignty by design: Control your data with no compromises.
- AI in practice: Work smarter, not harder. AI-assisted analytics make data actionable and impactful.
- Customer-centricity: Every insight is a chance to better serve your customers. Continuous improvement and personalized experiences are the key to long-term success.
What comes next
We believe the future belongs to those who can see it clearly. For smaller operators, this means gaining the same observability tools that Tier 1 providers have long relied upon—without the need for custom software development. At Aispire, we’re closing the gap.
Our vision is to create an ecosystem where intelligent operations are the norm—not the exception. Where smart networks are context-aware, self-optimizing, and work in sync with content providers and their products. As operators take action, they will see the immediate benefits of improving customer satisfaction and operational efficiency —while also laying the foundation for the next era of broadband innovation.
