Every Cell Site, Verified Before It Hits Your Dashboard
A 1% data loss rate across 5,000 sites distorts tens of thousands of metrics. Expanso validates telemetry at each cell site, so your NMS and RIC operate on data you can trust.
No fragile agents. No pipeline rewrites. Deploys alongside your existing stack.
Small telemetry gaps at each site become systemic problems at scale
Most operators discover data quality issues during P1 investigations, not before them. A 1% integrity gap across thousands of sites compounds into operational cost that nobody budgeted for.
Customers report outages before your NOC sees them
When telemetry from a cell site arrives late or incomplete, your monitoring tools show green while subscribers experience dropped calls and degraded throughput. The gap between what the network reports and what users feel is where SLA penalties accumulate.
Drifted counters silently corrupt performance reports
When vendor firmware updates change counter semantics, your KPI calculations produce numbers that look plausible but are wrong. Nobody catches it until a quarterly review.
Duplicate telemetry inflates every metric downstream
5-15% duplication is typical across multi-vendor sites. It distorts capacity planning, triggers false alarms, and inflates observability costs.
MTTR increases because engineers can't trust the data
The first 20-40 minutes of every incident go to confirming whether the telemetry is accurate. That delay pushes resolution times past SLA thresholds.
Observability costs scale with sites, not signal
Every new cell site adds 2+ GB/hr of telemetry. Most of it is redundant, but your Splunk bill processes all of it.
Telemetry integrity, enforced at each cell site
Expanso validates counters, deduplicates records, and normalizes vendor formats before telemetry leaves the site. Your NMS, RIC, and SIEM only receive signals that pass validation.
Validate counter completeness and detect drift
Each cell site's telemetry gets checked for schema consistency, counter completeness, and timing accuracy. Partial data, stale records, and drifted counters are caught at the source - not after they've corrupted your dashboards.
Deduplicate and filter noise before the backhaul
Retry traffic, duplicate records, and debug-level telemetry get stripped at the edge. Your backhaul carries only actionable data, and your Splunk bill reflects signal, not noise.
Normalize multi-vendor telemetry into a single schema
O-CU, O-DU, and O-RU components from different vendors emit telemetry in different formats. Expanso normalizes everything at the cell site - no custom glue code, no central ETL bottleneck.
European O-RAN Deployment
3,847 cell sites. 8 TB/hr hitting Splunk. $847K/mo in observability.
A European carrier's cell site telemetry was averaging 2.1 GB/hr per site with 12% duplication. Their RIC received data that was 2.3 seconds old. False alarms from incomplete telemetry consumed 30% of the NOC team's weekly capacity.
Expanso deployed at the edge across all 3,847 sites in 14 weeks. Telemetry validation starts at the cell site, before data enters the backhaul. The NOC now trusts the data they see on their dashboards.
Read the full case study"Isn't this what our NMS already does?"
Your NMS visualizes KPIs. Your RIC reacts to whatever data it receives. Your SIEM ingests and indexes. None of them verify that the telemetry from each cell site is complete, time-consistent, and deduplicated before it moves upstream.
Expanso sits before all of them. It validates counters, events, and logs at the cell site itself, catching drift, duplication, and ingestion lag in real time. Your existing tools stay where they are - the difference is they now run on data you can trust.
Built for large-scale cell site operations
Multi-vendor site support
Works across all O-RAN components regardless of vendor. One validation policy covers every site in your network.
Edge-first validation
Telemetry is validated where it originates, not hours later in a central dashboard after the damage is already done.
Sub-100ms data freshness
Network state data arrives fresh enough for your RIC to act on, not just report on. Handover and load balancing decisions use real-time signals.
Incremental rollout
Start with 12 sites in 3 weeks. Expand to nationwide in 14 weeks. Same architecture, no rework, no network disruption.
Your dashboards should reflect reality, not artifacts
Start validating cell site telemetry at the edge.
