Mumbai, India, June 25, 2026: Tata Elxsi, a global leader in design and technology services, and Sky, one of Europe’s leading media and telecommunications companies, have marked a major milestone in their partnership, accelerating the adoption of AI-led autonomous networks through Tata Elxsi’s NEURON platform portfolio.
Under this strategic partnership, Tata Elxsi is working with Sky to modernize network provisioning, cross-domain inventory and operations, improve service agility, and build a scalable foundation for autonomous networks.
Central to this collaboration is Tata Elxsi’s NEURON platform portfolio, an AI-led suite of platforms designed to accelerate autonomous network transformation. By bringing together telco cloud lifecycle automation, multi-domain network engineering, service-aware inventory, and observability, NEURON enables communications service providers to streamline operations, improve agility, and advance towards Autonomous Networks.
The NEURON platform portfolio comprises:
- Telco Cloud Automation – End-to-end 4G/5G lifecycle management across Day 0 to Day 2 operations
- Digital Network Engineering (DNE) – Multi-domain automation across metro, CDN, broadband, and ISP networks
- Service-Aware Inventory (PlanNet) – Cloud-native, unified visibility across network and service domains
Together, these capabilities enable standardization, intent-driven automation, and orchestration across hybrid and multi-domain environments, accelerating the journey toward autonomous networks.
The deployment of the NEURON platform portfolio has been delivering measurable business outcomes for Sky, including:
- Up to 30% improvement in operational efficiency through advanced automation
- Enhanced cybersecurity and regulatory compliance by embedding automation across critical processes
- Intent-driven automation and modernised network inventory, delivering 60–70% cost efficiencies
- Reduction in network change lead times by up to 50%, accelerating service delivery
- Reduction in network change failure rates by up to 30%, improving reliability from intent to deployment
Laurent Lavallee, Group Director of Networks, Sky: “NEURON is helping to transform how our networks operate – improving visibility, simplifying processes and accelerating service delivery. In doing so, it enables a more reliable, seamless experience for our customers as we move towards more intelligent, automated network operations.”
Rajagopalan Rajappa, CTO, Communication Technologies & Platforms, Tata Elxsi: “Through NEURON, we are enabling Sky to transition toward autonomous operations by combining AI-driven automation with inventory-led network intelligence, delivering measurable efficiency and agility.
Across our engagements with telecom operators in Europe, the Middle East, and other global markets, we see a common set of challenges—legacy network environments, fragmented multi-domain inventory, and increasing cost pressures—driving a shift toward platform-led transformation. Our work with Sky demonstrates how NEURON provides a clear pathway to modernizing operations, automation at scale, improving efficiency, and enabling AI-led autonomous networks.”
Tata Elxsi embeds AI across its platforms and services—enabling intelligent automation, predictive operations, and data-driven decision-making across the network lifecycle.
