A reference architecture and living testbed for AI-native telecommunications network operations.
Engineered from open standards (O-RAN, 3GPP Rel-18, TM Forum Open APIs, OAI, Duranta), validated on bare-metal accelerated compute, orchestrated via Red Hat OpenShift GitOps, and operated by policy-governed autonomous AI agents.

- Strict Standards Traceability: Every interface, message envelope, and state transition maps directly to published standards specifications from 3GPP, O-RAN Alliance, and TM Forum.
- Declarative GitOps Lifecycle: All workloads, configurations, routing policies, and telemetry pipelines are managed as version-controlled code reconciled by Argo CD.
- Governed Agent Autonomy: AI agents operate through explicit, policy-guarded MCP gateways with cryptographic auditing and zero-trust tool access controls.
