What Polystar does

Polystar provides AI-driven network monitoring, analytics, and service assurance software to communication service providers. The company's portfolio centers on three integrated products: Osix Monitoring (a network probe and monitoring platform that provides real-time visibility across multi-vendor mobile and fixed networks), Kalix Analytics (an AI-enhanced network analytics and performance management platform consolidating RAN, Core, and multi-vendor data), and Kalix DataOps (a data operations layer for integration, enrichment, and management of network data). The platform supports deployment across on-premises and cloud (Google Cloud / Kubernetes) environments and targets legacy system replacement, 5G Standalone service assurance, fixed broadband monitoring, and AI-based anomaly detection use cases for telecom operators.

Polystar sells primarily to tier-1 and major regional telecom operators through a direct enterprise field sales motion, with multi-year framework agreements and phased deployment models. Documented customers include MasOrange (Spain), Bouygues Telecom (France), Ooredoo Group (Qatar/Kuwait/Tunisia), and GO (Malta), with solutions addressing legacy performance management replacement, multi-vendor network consolidation, and proactive network operations. The company operates as a wholly-owned business unit of Elisa Industriq, the operational intelligence arm of Finnish telecom group Elisa Corporation, which provides distribution scale and ecosystem integration with adjacent supply chain, manufacturing, and electronics solutions. Partnerships with Google Cloud and Teleste Networks extend the platform into hybrid cloud and cable network operator segments.

Revenue is generated through multi-year software subscriptions covering the Osix, Kalix, and DataOps platforms, supplemented by professional services for implementation, customization, and migration program management. Recent strategic activity has been intensive: a rebranding from Elisa Polystar to Polystar (Oct 2025), the unveiling of an Agentic AI Framework and three additional AI capabilities at Mobile World Congress 2026, and a sequence of enterprise wins and partnerships through Q1-Q2 2026 indicate active land-and-expand motion across Europe, the Middle East, North Africa, and into North America. Pricing is not publicly disclosed; contracts are negotiated enterprise agreements.
