Every Layer of the Network.
Owned. Integrated. Delivered.
HCT does not resell boxes. We architect, integrate, and operate the complete technology stack — from silicon to application — for the most demanding private 5G and mission critical deployments in MEA. Every technology here is production-proven across HCT Group's regional deployments.
When Every Millisecond Counts
3GPP Mission Critical Services — MCPTT, MCVideo, MCData — deliver guaranteed QoS for public safety, emergency response, and critical infrastructure communications on a single 5G network.
MCX / Mission Critical Communications
MCPTT push-to-talk with <150ms floor arbitration, MCVideo, and MCData over 5G. Replace TETRA while gaining 1Gbps data capability and end-to-end AES-256 encryption.
Intelligent Operations Platform (IoP)
HCT's AI-powered command and control layer. Aggregates data from 5G sensors, cameras, and OT systems into a unified operational intelligence dashboard with automated response workflows.
Network Slicing
One physical 5G network — unlimited isolated virtual pipelines. URLLC for AGV control at <5ms. eMBB for 4K video. mMTC for 1M IoT sensors. All guaranteed, all isolated, all on the same radio.
Break the Vendor Lock-In
O-RAN Alliance standards and Intel FlexRAN enable fully disaggregated, multi-vendor RAN deployments that cut CapEx by 40% while unlocking AI-driven intelligence through the open RAN Intelligent Controller.
Open RAN (O-RAN Alliance)
Disaggregated RU + DU + CU + RIC architecture on open interfaces. Multi-vendor component selection. Intel FlexRAN on Xeon-D for software-defined DU. Near-RT RIC with custom xApps for AI-driven network optimisation. 40% CapEx reduction vs proprietary RAN.
Edge Computing and Multi-Access Edge (MEC)
Co-located UPF + compute at the facility perimeter. Sub-5ms application RTT without cloud hop. Intel Xeon Scalable + Smart Edge Open orchestration. Runs AI inference, SCADA, AGV control, and digital twin sync — all local, all sovereign.
Camera Networks That Think
Intel OpenVINO and Gaudi AI transform raw camera feeds into operational intelligence — in real time, at the edge, with zero WAN dependency and full data sovereignty.
AI and Video Analytics Platform
50+ concurrent 4K streams processed at the edge. YOLOv8 object detection, ALPR, PPE compliance, crowd density, anomaly detection — all optimised with INT8 quantisation on Intel Xeon AMX. <30ms inference per frame. Feeds HCT IoP command dashboard in real time.
Silicon-to-Platform. One Partnership.
HCT's Intel partnership covers the complete silicon stack — from RAN compute to edge AI to model training. Every technology HCT deploys runs on Intel-validated reference architectures.
FlexRAN · Xeon Scalable · OpenVINO · Gaudi AI · Smart Edge · SGX
The Intel ecosystem gives HCT customers hardware-validated performance guarantees across every layer: software-defined RAN on FlexRAN, URLLC MEC on Xeon, real-time AI inference on OpenVINO, sovereign compute on SGX, and workload orchestration on Smart Edge Open.
FlexRAN + Xeon-D
Software-defined DU for Open RAN — replaces proprietary ASIC with upgradeable x86 software at the base station
Xeon Scalable (MEC)
4th Gen Xeon with AMX matrix extensions for edge AI inference. Runs O-CU, UPF, and ML workloads on the same server
OpenVINO Runtime
Hardware-aware AI inference toolkit. INT8 quantisation delivers 4x throughput on Xeon vs FP32 GPU baseline
Gaudi 2 AI Accelerator
40% cost reduction vs comparable GPU for AI model training. HCT uses Gaudi to fine-tune detection models on customer-specific datasets
Smart Edge Open
Kubernetes-based MEC orchestration (formerly OpenNESS). Manages CNF/VNF lifecycle, multi-access traffic steering, GPU resource allocation
SGX Trusted Execution
Hardware-isolated enclaves for sovereign AI model and key protection — prevents hypervisor-level access on shared edge infrastructure
Frequently Asked Questions
What technologies underpin HCT Group deployments?
Open RAN, 5G Standalone core, network slicing, Multi-access Edge Computing, AI and video analytics, mission critical MCX, intelligent operations automation and the Intel open network ecosystem including FlexRAN and vRAN.
Are these technologies proven in production?
Yes. HCT Group deploys and operates these technologies in live enterprise and government environments rather than in laboratory trials only.
Which Technologies Power Your Use Case?
Every deployment is different. HCT architects run a structured technology assessment to map your operational requirements to the right combination of RAN, core, edge, and AI technologies — with reference designs from HCT Group's live regional deployments.
