NETS International Group operates as a global system integrator and telecom and technology solutions provider, delivering infrastructure, digital, and managed services across multiple regions including the UK, Europe, the Middle East, Asia, and the United States. The Group supports telecom operators, enterprises, and technology partners through execution-led delivery models across complex network and IT environments.
Alongside its Infrastructure Solutions, Digital Solutions, and Managed Solutions portfolios, NETS offers Resource Outsourcing (RO), also referred to as Technology Resource Outsourcing or Resource Augmentation. This portfolio is designed to support organisations that require specialised technical skills quickly, without the delays and constraints of traditional hiring.
NETS’ RO offering provides turnkey technology staffing for full-time, contract, remote, or shared project-based roles. Resources are selected from a large pool of pre-screened candidates and supported by dedicated in-house recruiters, along with alliances with specialist technical recruitment partners. Internal AI-enabled tools are used to support candidate matching and onboarding, allowing teams to be mobilised efficiently and aligned to project requirements.
RO enables organisations to scale technical capability based on demand while allowing internal teams to remain focused on delivery. It is particularly effective in environments where specialist skills are scarce, transformation programmes are time-bound, or legacy knowledge is required alongside modern technical expertise.
NETS’ RO capabilities span a broad range of technology domains, including:
Across regions, RO is commonly used to address long hiring turnaround times, limited availability of specialised skills, and short- to medium-term delivery needs within larger programmes.
RO Use Case: USA Network Modernisation
A recent Resource Outsourcing engagement in the United States demonstrates how this capability is applied in practice.
NETS was engaged to support a network modernisation programme focused on rationalising legacy telecom infrastructure and transitioning toward modern IP-based architectures. The programme required engineers with deep understanding of legacy TDM environments, combined with the ability to support next-generation network models. These hybrid skillsets are increasingly difficult to source through conventional recruitment channels.
Through its RO framework, NETS deployed a small team of specialised engineers dedicated to the programme. Their scope included analysing and documenting legacy TDM assets, supporting the migration toward IP-based systems, assisting internal teams with operational readiness, and bridging the gap between legacy network knowledge and modern IP architectures.
The engineers operated as an extension of the client’s internal teams, integrating directly into existing workflows. This approach enabled continuity, reduced dependency on long hiring cycles, and supported steady progress across the modernisation programme.
This engagement reflects the practical value of Resource Outsourcing when applied as part of a broader delivery model. Rather than functioning as a standalone staffing service, RO at NETS is structured to support infrastructure transformation, technology modernisation, and operational continuity.
By combining global talent access, telecom and IT domain expertise, and structured delivery oversight, NETS’ Resource Outsourcing capability enables organisations to progress complex programmes efficiently while maintaining flexibility and control.
As networks and technology environments continue to evolve, Resource Outsourcing remains a critical enabler for organisations navigating the transition between legacy systems and modern platforms.
TDM (Time Division Multiplexing) is a legacy telecom technology used to carry voice and data by allocating fixed time slots on a shared communication channel.
It was widely used in traditional networks such as PSTN voice services, E1/T1 circuits, legacy switches, and SONET/SDH systems. While reliable and predictable, TDM is rigid, costly to maintain, and does not scale well for modern broadband traffic. As a result, operators are moving toward flexible, packet-based IP networks.
TDM = legacy, circuit-based networks
IP = modern, packet-based networks
IP (Internet Protocol) is the modern, packet-based method used to transmit voice, data, and video across networks.
Unlike legacy circuit-based technologies, IP breaks information into packets and routes them dynamically across the network. This allows multiple services such as voice, broadband, video, and cloud applications to share the same infrastructure efficiently.
IP-based networks are flexible, scalable, and cost-effective, making them the foundation of today’s telecom and IT environments. As a result, most operators are migrating away from legacy systems toward IP architectures to support higher bandwidth demands and modern digital services.
In simple terms:
IP = modern, flexible, packet-based networks
