Telecom & Network Infrastructure Developers

You're building the AI-native networks that will power 6G and beyond. Why are you still stuck with data infrastructure designed for centralized 4G?

You're here to enable edge AI, autonomous network orchestration, and ultra-low latency services that will transform how the world connects. But your brilliant 5G innovations get crippled by data systems that assume everything runs in a data center. Your edge nodes fall back to manual operation the moment backhaul links fail. Your AI-driven optimization waits for cloud roundtrips while network conditions change in microseconds.

Edge-native networks need edge-native data infrastructure. Time to stop forcing cloud-first solutions into distributed network reality.

Source gives you a verifiable database that runs directly on base stations, small cells, and edge nodes — enabling autonomous coordination, cryptographic trust, and AI-driven optimization without dependence on core network connectivity. With DefraDB, your telecom infrastructure gets the distributed intelligence it was designed for.

The Centralized Thinking That's Crippling Network Evolution

You came here to build autonomous, intelligent networks, not to debug why your edge AI stops working when backhaul goes down:

Get Started

The entire telecom industry is trapped in centralized thinking — forcing 5G and 6G innovations into infrastructure designed for circuit-switched voice calls

Your edge-native network functions work great in the lab — but fall apart in real deployments where backhaul connectivity is intermittent or high-latency

AI-driven optimization becomes a cruel joke — when your edge intelligence has to phone home to make real-time decisions about microsecond network events

Compliance is a deployment nightmare — data localization laws force you to build separate systems for every jurisdiction instead of policy-aware infrastructure

Every edge node is a security vulnerability — because verification and trust require connectivity to centralized systems that can be compromised or unreachable

Spectrum coordination is still manual — despite having the computational power to automate interference mitigation and dynamic allocation

The promise of intelligent, autonomous networks is being strangled by data infrastructure that assumes the network core is always reachable and always authoritative.

Build telecom infrastructure that actually works at the edge

DefraDB runs natively on network hardware.

No more cloud dependencies for edge decisions. No more manual processes for tasks that should be automated. No more accepting that "intelligent" networks have to be dumber than smartphones when disconnected.

What becomes possible when your data infrastructure matches your network architecture:

Get Started

Autonomous edge coordination

Base stations and small cells coordinate spectrum, handoffs, and load balancing using conflict-free data structures

Cryptographically verifiable operations

Every spectrum allocation, subscriber update, and network event is signed and tamper-evident for regulatory compliance

AI-native data flows

Edge AI gets trusted, structured data streams for real-time optimization without backhaul dependencies

Zero-trust network security

Peer-to-peer verification ensures network integrity even when core systems are compromised

Jurisdiction-aware compliance

Field-level access controls automatically enforce data sovereignty without rebuilding systems per country

Bandwidth-efficient synchronization

Delta updates and peer-to-peer sync reduce backhaul costs while maintaining network-wide state consistency

What You Actually Get

Months of telecom-specific infrastructure development eliminated

Read the Docs

Stop building custom sync systems for every base station vendor and network function

Deploy one database architecture from radio units to core network functions

Handle regulatory compliance with built-in governance instead of jurisdiction-specific customizations

Enable AI-driven network optimization with trusted edge data that doesn't require cloud connectivity
