KUALA LUMPUR: Tune Talk has become the first telecommunications company (telco) in Asean to deploy a cloud-native core technology at scale after the successful completion of phase one of its cloud core network modernisation in partnership with Nokia.
Announced at the Mobile World Congress 2026 in Barcelona, Spain, the mobile network operator said phase one was completed in January with phase two currently underway to further enhance automation, orchestration and intelligent network capabilities.
“Built on a fully containerised, microservices‑based architecture, the new cloud‑native core delivers elastic scalability, resilient performance and real‑time intelligence, setting a new benchmark for how modern mobile networks are designed and operated,” it said in a statement.
The telco said its cloud-native core strategy is translating into strong business momentum with its subscriber base growing from 950,000 in 2024 to 1.8 million by end-2025, and is on track to reach 2.5 million by mid-2026.
It also improved network stability and service consistency, reduced operational complexity through automation and enhanced scalability without proportional cost increases, it added. — Bernama
