Deutsche Telekom’s Horizontal TelCo Cloud (HTC) Establishes a New Industry Blueprint for Telco Clouds

Telecom networks are evolving toward cloud native and automated architectures, moving beyond siloed and vertically integrated stacks that limit agility and innovation. Deutsche Telekom’s Horizontal TelCo Cloud (HTC) brings this transformation to life. Built on a common cloud infrastructure layer, a unified cloud native ecosystem, and a centralised automation platform, HTC replaces monolithic stacks with reusable and scalable platforms. The impact is clear: software validation reduced from 6 to 9 months to 7 days, network fabric upgrades from 4 weeks to a few days, and cloud infrastructure ready within 40 days.

Mavenir is a key partner in DT’s cloud transformation, delivering cloud native IMS Core, a fully containerised 4G and 5G Packet Core, and messaging solutions on T CaaS. All solutions are delivered without an EMS and are fully integrated into DT’s GitOps based automation framework.
