Large language models (LLMs) offer great potential to automate a broad range of telecom engineering tasks by reasoning over standards, network configurations, mathematical models, source code, and operational logs. However, existing telecom LLMs struggle to reliably reason across these diverse tasks and data types. General-purpose LLMs often lack reliable grounding in telecom-specific knowledge, while telecom-specialized models are typically developed for narrower task families and exhibit limited multi-task performance. To fill this gap, we introduce TelecomGPT-R1, a family of open source unified telecom reasoning models structured around four complementary axes: protocol, knowledge, modeling, and fault. We first develop an axis-aware data generation framework that refines coarse public telecom artifacts into verified question-answer pairs and high quality chain-of-thought (CoT) reasoning trajectories, yielding a training corpus containing 104,880 examples. Building on this corpus, supervised fine-tuning (SFT) instills telecom knowledge and evidence-grounded reasoning patterns to overcome the cold start barrier for reinforcement learning (RL). We then apply dynamic sampling policy optimization (DAPO) with task-routed rubric rewards to keep RL updates informative and stable across heterogeneous telecom reasoning tasks. These rewards decompose axis-specific CoT traces into verifiable reasoning units and combine grounded dense process credit with outcome correctness, allowing RL to learn generalizable problem solving behaviors from verifiable telecom evidence. We release the TelecomGPT-R1 models and a reproducible training recipe to support further community development. Evaluations on seven benchmarks of the GSMA Open Telco Leaderboard show that the open-source TelecomGPT-R1-27B achieves an 89.64% mean score, outperforming leading proprietary models, including GPT-5, Claude, and Gemini.
