HCLTech will buy the telco solutions business of Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE) for about $160 million, the company said in an exchange filing.
The acquisition will help the company to strengthen its position in the telecom industry, especially in areas such as 5G network transformation, the company added.
As part of this deal, around 1,500 engineering and telecom specialists from 39 countries will join HCLTech’s global delivery team to help scale the business.
Telco Solutions was formerly part of HPE’s Communications Technology Group (CTG), from which HCLTech bought certain assets in 2024. The previously acquired CTG portfolio—spanning Business Support Systems (BSS), network applications, service cloudification, and data intelligence—has been successfully integrated and is now growing.
