The initiative combines real network measurement data with topology and building information in a 3D model capable of simulating coverage, capacity, interference, and energy efficiency before any infrastructure change is made in the field. The approach is designed to let network engineers and investment decision-makers assess the technical, operational, and economic consequences of a decision before committing to it.
All processing — including data handling, simulations, and AI workloads — is planned to run within cloud infrastructure located in Germany. That constraint is deliberate: it lets the project address data privacy rules, regulatory compliance requirements, and concerns about digital sovereignty that have complicated previous attempts to run large-scale network models on public cloud.
"With this pilot, we want to show how AI, real network data, and digital twins can work together to plan and optimize mobile networks faster, more efficiently, and more sustainably. What's critical for us is that technological innovation and digital sovereignty go hand in hand — made in Germany, with a clear focus on measurable customer value."Hakan Ekmen, CEO, P3 communications
The technology stack draws on NVIDIA components. Planned capabilities include 3D radio visualisation, beam modelling, and time-based scenario simulations. Outputs are intended to be accessible through web interfaces, APIs, and eventually immersive tools for engineering and management teams.
"Digital sovereignty, resilient infrastructures, and secure cloud environments are fundamental prerequisites for the next level of industrial AI applications. By leveraging the Telekom Cloud, P3 can process its data to the highest standards of security and sovereignty."Lars Neumann, SVP T Cloud, Deutsche Telekom
P3 communications provides network planning, design, deployment, and optimisation services to telecom operators. The company positions itself as vendor-agnostic, combining domain expertise with data-driven benchmarking and automation tools. The RF Digital Twin pilot extends a broader working relationship between P3 and Deutsche Telekom on AI infrastructure, cloud services, and AI-based industrial applications.
