Dubai, UAE – October 14, 2025
e& UAE, the flagship telecom arm of global technology group e&, and LabLabee, the enablement platform delivering on-demand telco labs for hands-on learning and testing, today unveiled the AI Telco Copilot at GITEX Global 2025.
This breakthrough AI-powered solution is designed to help telecom engineers and operators accelerate their transition from legacy networks to cloud-native, AI-driven, multi-vendor ecosystems.
Marwan Bin Shakar, Acting Chief Technology & Information Officer, e& UAE, said: "The launch of the first AI Telco Copilot in the region reflects our commitment to driving AI-powered telco transformation. By combining e& UAE’s advanced network capabilities with LabLabee’s innovative AI platform, we are empowering our engineers and operations teams to move faster, simplify complexity, and accelerate the journey toward autonomous networks. This is a major step forward in enabling telcos to thrive in the AI era."
Samir Tahraoui, CEO of LabLabee, said: "Our vision has always been to empower telecom teams with hands-on, real-world expertise at scale. With the introduction of the AI Telco Copilot powered by Agentic AI, we are bringing a transformative leap to the industry. Together with e& UAE, we are redefining how telcos learn, test, and operate — helping them transition seamlessly into the new era of cloud-native and AI-driven networks."
The AI Telco Copilot boosts productivity and enhances operations by supporting telco teams with innovative tools for enablement and day-to-day activities. The Copilot combines four powerful AI-driven solutions:
• Ask: Access instant answers from complex telecom standards (3GPP, ETSI, O-RAN Alliance, IETF, GSMA,) and vendor documentation using a telco-specialised chatbot.
• Learn: Accelerate upskilling and reskilling strategies, from assessments to hands-on practice, with a learning-by-doing approach based on realistic virtual labs.
• Test: Automate design, execution, and validation of network service and equipment tests across multiple scopes (functional, security, performance).
• Troubleshoot: Speed up resolution with AI-powered root cause analysis and real-time insights.
In the AI-powered telco transformation journey, e& UAE is managing increasingly complex technology layers within its networks. In this landscape, performance, reliability, and stability demand advanced testing and validation.
At the heart of this launch is LabLabee AI Test — a solution designed to automate testing and validation end-to-end, bringing speed, accuracy, and confidence to telecom operations:
- Seamless Automation: Instantly design and run test plans in real-world environments, eliminating the manual complexity of test preparation.
- Multi-Scope Testing: Validate across all layers — functional, O&M, security, and performance — covering the full lifecycle of network services and equipment.
- Smart Validation: Automate results validation with detailed insights, KPIs, and trace analysis, with the ability to ask follow-up questions to quickly pinpoint issues.
By embedding automation and intelligence into testing, operators can scale validation from hours to minutes, increase reliability, and dramatically reduce costs and human error.
With the AI Telco Copilot platform, LabLabee is embedding AI-powered enablement and automation into the telecom sector, empowering operators to scale faster, innovate at pace, and strengthen team expertise.
As the industry embraces 5G, telco cloud, and autonomous networks, LabLabee AI and its AI Telco Copilot are positioned as strategic enablers of transformation.
