End-to-end, AI-native 5G — RAN to core

zTouch Networks, A5G Networks, and Northeastern University successfully integrated the zTouch.OS AI-powered automation and network optimization framework with the A5G AI-driven mobile packet core, running on Northeastern University's AI-RAN over-the-air private 5G network. The milestone demonstrates AI-native, end-to-end connectivity across private and public networks — a foundational step toward the next generation of intelligent, autonomous wireless systems.

zTouch.OS + A5G core: intent-driven, SLA-aware

zTouch.OS is the next-generation cellular network operating system that automates AI-and-RAN and AI-for-RAN operations. It provides an O-RAN-compliant platform integrating RICs, rApps, xApps, and dApps for real-time network control, with a natural-language interface that translates intent into AI and RAN policies on the fly. The A5G mobile core is a cloud-native, 3GPP Release 17–compliant packet core supporting AI/ML optimizations across paging, handover, anomaly detection, traffic classification, and deep packet inspection — designed for hybrid and multi-cloud deployments at any scale.

Go-to-market with Ekiva

The team also announced a go-to-market collaboration with UK-based Ekiva Ltd to take the integrated AI-RAN + AI-core stack toward real-world deployments, with a focus on flexible, cost-effective NaaS / PaaS / SaaS delivery models.
