Stay Ahead of Network Demand with Intelligent Forecasting
Telecom networks are often run reactively: teams wait for congestion, service degradation, or customer complaints before taking action. Capacity planning relies on manual spreadsheets and ad hoc reports, making it hard to justify investments or spot upcoming bottlenecks in time.
A Network KPI Forecasting solution gives you forward-looking visibility into network load, error rates, and capacity needs so you can act before problems arise. This is especially important for capacity decisions such as cell site densification, backhaul upgrades, and hardware refreshes, where planning and procurement cycles run in months, not days.
Polystar provides a self-service forecasting environment where data scientists and planners configure and run experiments without building pipelines or deployment tooling. KPIs flow in from existing analytics platforms and file-based inputs, so forecasts rely on metrics already trusted by your operations and planning teams.
Once an experiment meets your accuracy and business criteria, you can promote it to production with a few clicks. The platform generates production-ready forecasts on a schedule, keeps models updated with fresh data, and exposes results through a dedicated portal for operations, planning, and service assurance teams. This closes the loop from raw data to consumable, production-grade forecasts that drive better decisions across the organization.
Capabilities Valued by Telecom Operations Teams
Self-Service Experiment Management
The solution enables data scientists and network planners to configure, train, and compare forecasting models from a single interface. They can select KPI sources, define dimensions, set forecast horizons, and review quality metrics without writing deployment scripts or managing separate tools. This significantly reduces experiment overhead and shortens the path from idea to a validated forecasting approach.
Multi-Algorithm Forecasting
Different KPIs have different behaviors and planning horizons: some drive day-to-day operations, while others - such as busy-hour load or regional growth trends - inform investment decisions 12 to 24 months ahead. The solution supports a portfolio of statistical and machine learning forecasting methods, allowing you to match the algorithm to each KPI’s characteristics and forecasting horizon. Teams can run side-by-side experiments and select the best-performing method based on transparent accuracy metrics.
Production Forecasts with Automated Retraining
When you are satisfied with an experiment, you can publish it to production to generate forecasts on a recurring schedule. The platform automatically refreshes models with new data, ensuring forecast accuracy remains stable as network conditions evolve. You gain forecasts that stay aligned with how the network evolves - through 4G-to-5G migration, new services, and shifting peak-hour behavior - instead of gradually drifting away from reality between manual updates.
Forecasting Portal for Operations Teams
End users access forecasts through a dedicated portal tailored to operations, planning, and service assurance roles. They can browse forecasted KPIs, view visual charts, set threshold alerts, and organize series into folders that reflect their responsibilities. This provides NOC and planning teams with a shared, easy-to-use view of the network’s future state, rather than relying on scattered reports and offline files.
