    Vodafone and Cyient roll out AI-fuelled solution to smarten up global network ops

    MUMBAI: In a world where telecom towers are smarter than traffic lights and data is the new diesel, Vodafone and Cyient have thrown their collective tech muscle behind Vismon — an AI-powered Network Configuration Management platform poised to give network chaos a serious boot.

    Unveiled on June 24 in Hyderabad, the platform is already showing signs of transforming the telco landscape. Developed jointly by Vodafone and Cyient, Vismon is designed to consolidate configuration data across geographies, integrating both logical and physical inventory into one smart platform. It enables Vodafone’s teams across local markets to benchmark configurations, sniff out anomalies, and track deployments with clinical precision.

    Vismon isn’t just a shiny new dashboard. It has delivered measurable impact in Vodafone’s live deployments. The platform has slashed time spent compiling cross-market reports by 70 per cent, sped up decision-making by three times, and is expected to cut configuration errors by 50 per cent. In a sector where milliseconds matter and mistakes are expensive, these numbers scream efficiency.

    “Vismon provides the strategic foundation to oversee configuration data across all markets, enabling us to harmonise practices, identify best-performing setups, and optimise our networks more effectively than ever”, said Vodafone Network Development Digital Strategy manager Mostafa Noureldien.

    Cyient VP & regional head of sales Joaquim Croca echoed the sentiment, calling the platform a symbol of purposeful automation. “At Cyient, we are proud to partner with Vodafone in their journey toward smarter, faster, and more intelligent network operations”, he said. “This AI-driven platform exemplifies how intelligent automation and data-led insights can drive real impact—delivering agility, consistency, and strategic clarity at scale”.

    The move underscores Vodafone and Cyient’s mutual commitment to pushing the frontiers of digital network management. As telecom networks become increasingly data-heavy and globally integrated, Vismon could well become the blueprint for intelligent infrastructure engineering.

  • Cyient to acquire majority stake in Rangsons Electronics

    Cyient to acquire majority stake in Rangsons Electronics

    MUMBAI:  Cyient has signed a definitive agreement to acquire 74 per cent equity stake in Rangsons Electronics, an electronics system design and manufacturing (ESDM) services company, headquartered in Mysore, in an all-cash transaction.

    The acquisition positions Cyient strongly to expand into high-technology and high-value, design-led systems and solutions in line with the company’s S3 (services, systems and solutions) strategy.

    Cyient MD and CEO Krishna Bodanapu said, “With its strong domain expertise coupled with a comprehensive solution portfolio, industry-relevant processes, certifications, and global customers, Rangsons Electronics fits extremely well in Cyient’s business. The new relationship will help Cyient expand its core business while deepening partnerships with OEM customers. I look forward to working closely with the Rangsons team to achieve the maximum synergy from this acquisition, and believe that this will make our offerings even more attractive to our customers.”

    Rangsons Electronics is a well-established ESDM and systems integration vendor with over two decades of experience in developing highly complex systems.

     “Rangsons Electronics has built India’s leading platform within the electronics segment with client-centric service delivery, driven by award winning quality systems. We have found a complementary partner in Cyient, who has built a global engineering solutions business backed by strong technology and ethos. We are proud to associate with them and believe the combined entity will be positioned uniquely as an end-to-end integrated engineering, design and manufacturing provider. My team and I are very excited about this association and look forward to achieving our shared growth objectives”, said Rangsons Electronics CEO Pavan Ranga.

     The proposed acquisition is Cyient’s third in less than a year, and reflects the company’s strong growth focus. Its acquisitions earlier in 2014 included Softential, a US-based end-to-end IT service management/assurance solution vendor, and Invati Insights, a start-up data sciences company.
