What is Telcoladder?

Deterministic 5G / 4G / IMS signalling analyzer and call-flow correlator. The correlation and root-cause layer on top of tshark: one subscriber across every interface, every failure explained from a verified cause table, and nothing generated. It runs locally over stdio via the published package.

Is Telcoladder still maintained?

Yes - as of 2026-09-30, its last commit was 2026-09-17 and it shipped 4 releases in the last 90 days. We re-verify nightly.

How do I install Telcoladder?

Run `uvx telcoladder`. You can also paste the ready-made client config above.

Does Telcoladder run locally?

Yes - it's a stdio server: it runs on your machine (via uvx) with your user's permissions. Your data stays local unless the server itself calls external APIs.
