Aether for 5G & telecom.
A digital twin of the network, from the radio to the core.
Telecom is a physics problem wearing a software costume — and Aether already speaks the physics. It forward-rolls RF propagation, optimizes the RAN and plans 5G/6G coverage against a living twin of your network, then runs the slices and the edge on the same cloud the model serves from. Twelve specialist agents — network twin, propagation, RAN optimization, beamforming, spectrum, slicing and security — under one model.

Radio to core, under one model.
The incumbent telco stack is a planning tool, a separate optimization suite, a drive-test campaign and a vendor's OSS that don't share a model of the network. Aether is one twin — the electromagnetics that plan the cell are the same physics that optimize it and assure it.
Network digital twin
A living twin of the radio, transport and core — Aether forward-rolls RF, traffic and load so a change is tested against a copy of the network before it touches a live cell.
RF propagation & coverage
Ray-traced and empirical propagation over real terrain and clutter — coverage, interference and signal quality predicted from the electromagnetics the model already simulates, not a lookup table.
RAN optimization
Scheduler, power, tilt and handover parameters tuned against the twin for throughput, latency and energy — a closed loop that learns the network instead of chasing KPIs by hand.
Beamforming & massive MIMO
Beam patterns, codebooks and user grouping optimized for the propagation environment, with the array physics resolved rather than approximated.
Spectrum & interference
Inter-cell and cross-technology interference modelled across the band; spectrum-sharing and refarming evaluated for their real effect on capacity before a license decision.
Network planning & siting
Cell, small-cell and backhaul siting optimized for coverage, capacity and cost over the actual geography — a generative-design problem on the network.
Network slicing & orchestration
Slice design and admission against SLAs, forward-rolled on the twin so a slice's effect on the rest of the network is known before it's provisioned.
5G/6G PHY simulation
Physical-layer simulation — waveform, channel, coding — for new features and 6G research, on the same engine that runs the rest of the platform.
Predictive maintenance
Forward-rolled degradation of radios, power and transport, and a real fault told apart from a config or interference problem by reasoning against the physics.
Energy optimization
Cell sleep, carrier shutdown and power control tuned for energy against the twin without trading away the coverage and SLA the network has to hold.
OSS/BSS & assurance
Anomaly detection, root-cause and service-assurance over telemetry with multi-vendor context, and provenance an operator and an auditor can both follow.
Network security
RAN and core security — signalling-storm, slice-isolation and supply-chain analysis — couples to the cyber and cyber-physical disciplines, capability-gated by construction.
Every coverage map knows how real it is.
The governing principle: an empirical estimate is never presented as a ray-traced prediction, and a simulated KPI is never presented as a measured one. The four-tier ladder makes the fidelity explicit, and predictions are validated against drive-test, not asserted.
Empirical & statistical
Fast path-loss models and KPI statistics for screening and what-if at scale. Milliseconds — always labelled as screening, never a planning commitment.
Network twin (real-time)
Interactive RF + traffic twin for closed-loop RAN optimization and slice admission — the tier most operations live in.
Ray-traced & high-fidelity
Full propagation ray-tracing and PHY simulation validated against drive-test and counters — the tier behind a planning or spectrum decision.
First-principles (escalation)
Detailed electromagnetic and channel simulation. A regime the model can't yet resolve returns the engine it requires — never a fabricated coverage map.
Six corners of the network, one twin.
Not a tool per role — one model whose physics and economics change per operator, but whose contract does not.
Macro, small-cell and DAS networks — coverage, capacity, energy and SLA optimized against a twin of the live network across the footprint.
Campus, factory and port networks where coverage and latency are operational requirements — planned, sliced and assured on one model.
Siting, sharing and capacity optimized over real geography, with the interference and cost trade-offs computed, not estimated.
RAN and core vendors using PHY and system simulation to design, validate and benchmark features before silicon and field.
Sharing, refarming and auction scenarios evaluated for their real effect on capacity and interference across the band.
Physical-layer, RIS and sensing research on the same engine that runs the live network — from waveform to system.
Physics-true, vendor-neutral.
Coverage from the electromagnetics, optimization on a twin, and the edge it all runs on — one model across multi-vendor RAN, transport and core. We report what was simulated and what was measured.
RF propagation from the electromagnetics, not a lookup
Tested on a twin before it touches a live cell
Validated against drive-test and counters
Empirical → twin → ray-traced → first-principles
Multi-vendor RAN, transport and core in one model
Edge and core run on Aether Cloud
One model for the whole network.
A planning tool, an optimization suite, a drive-test campaign and a vendor OSS collapse into one model, one twin, one provenance trail.
Radio to core, one model.
A planning tool, an RF simulator and a vendor's RAN optimizer each own a slice. Aether forward-rolls the whole network on one model — physics-true and validated against drive-test.
Network changes, de-risked.
What compounds is changes tested on the twin instead of trialled on the live network.
From the network twin to RAN security — each under one integrity contract, with the model version on every prediction.
The electromagnetics that plan the cell, the traffic that loads it and the slice that rides it — on a single simulation-native model.
The compute and edge the network runs on is the same platform — network and infrastructure, not two procurements.
“We used to find coverage problems with trucks. Now the twin finds them before we roll one — and it proved the energy savings wouldn't cost us an SLA.”
A network engineer, not a dashboard.
It reads the network, picks fidelity, tests on the twin, validates against measurement, and writes the rationale — for an expert audience.
- 01
Reads the network
Ingests the topology, the terrain, the multi-vendor config and the counters, and builds a forward-rollable twin of radio, transport and core before any change is proposed.
- 02
Picks the right tier
Knows when an empirical model suffices and when a coverage decision needs ray-tracing or PHY simulation — by the confidence the conclusion requires.
- 03
Tests on the twin
Every optimization and slice is forward-rolled against a copy of the network; a change that hurts a KPI or an SLA is caught in sim, not in the field.
- 04
Validates against measurement
Cross-checks predictions against drive-test and live counters and calibrates the gap, flagging out-of-distribution conditions instead of trusting a synthetic map.
- 05
Writes the rationale
Each recommendation ships with its predicted KPI effect, the trade-offs, the energy impact and the evidence — with the model-version hash.
- 06
Closes the loop
Live counters return into the twin, so the model that optimized the network this week optimizes it better next week — and the twin and the network converge.
A network that tunes itself, on a twin that tracks it.
Live counters return into the twin and sharpen the next optimization, so the network and its twin converge — and the model that planned the cell gets better at running it.
Stand up a twin of your network.
Aether forward-rolls the radio, optimizes the RAN and plans the coverage against a living twin — then runs the slices and the edge on the same cloud. Request access to deploy it in your network, or see how it couples to the rest of the platform.
Telecom sits on the same foundation as the rest of Aether — one model, every discipline.
