The Role of Network Inventory in Streamlined Telecom Service Delivery
In the fast-evolving world of telecommunications, efficiency and accuracy are the cornerstones of providing high-quality services to customers. At the heart of this system are several critical processes, including order management, service orchestration, and network inventory management. These processes, when tightly integrated, allow telecom providers to streamline service delivery, reduce operational costs, and ensure the reliability of the services they offer.
Understanding the Basics: Order Management, Service Orchestration, and Network Inventory
At its core, order management ensures that telecom customers receive the services they request in a timely and accurate manner. It’s a process that begins with receiving customer orders and extends through provisioning and activation of services. However, managing customer orders becomes a complex task when those services depend on a vast array of network resources.
Service orchestration bridges this gap. It ensures that the ordered service is not only provisioned but also activated correctly across all the necessary network platforms. The orchestration system acts as a conductor, guiding how different network components collaborate to deliver a service. Without proper orchestration, service delivery would be manual, slow, and error prone.

Trends & regulations in cellular IoT security
With 18.8 billion connected IoT devices expected by the end of 2024, it’s no surprise that device-level security is a growing concern for regulators. The new Cyber Trust Mark in the U.S. is designed to help consumers easily identify smart devices that meet certain cybersecurity standards like smart home cameras, routers, thermostats and other IoT products. And while that’s currently voluntary, other mandatory measures are coming into force like the EU’s CRA which will see manufacturers bring compliant products to market by 2027. This is in response to a market that previously saw 29% of cellular IoT modules shipped in Q2 2024 with no dedicated protection features.
Dive into this report that looks at security considerations for software and hardware in the IoT module supply chain, covering topics like:
This report also suggests best practices; in collaboration with Quectel, that software, hardware and holistic manufacturers should take to ensure vulnerabilities are not present like testing, PKI, robust SBOM and other approaches.
