20+ years building the exact products ARANO is replacing at world leading Telcos.
Stephen Dillon
Founder
20+ years building the data infrastructure that powers modern telecoms, personally designing and delivering advanced RAN trace, PM, CM, FM, and core network parsing pipelines, a cross-domain SON platform with AI-driven automation, a geolocation analytics platform, and geospatial network design tools that saved operators millions in outsourced costs. An early mover in applying AI and ML to telecoms network optimisation, with deep hands-on experience across Ericsson and Nokia multi-vendor environments at some of Europe's largest operators. ARANO is the product that experience was always building toward.

Our approach
Built by operators, not consultants
Operator-first design
Every feature in ARANO was designed to solve a problem we lived with for years. No speculative features. No academic prototypes. Production tools built by the people who needed them.
End-to-end ownership
From data ingestion to agent orchestration to frontend visualisation, ARANO is built and maintained by a single team with full-stack visibility. No handoffs, no integration gaps.
Ship fast, validate continuously
The platform runs against real operator data from day one. Every detector, every agent, every KPI formula has been validated against live network behaviour, not lab conditions.
Build the Future of Network Intelligence
We're building technology that will optimise billions of network connections globally.
