Ericsson featured speakers

Sam Keys-Toyer- FutureNet Asia 2026 speaker

Sam-Keys Toyer, Head of Business and Portfolio Development

Topic: Autonomous Capability Is Real, but Where Do I Start?

Time: Sept 22, 2:00 PM -2:20 PM

2025 saw the industry break through the highly autonomous use case barrier with real cases in real networks, but these are few and far between. The majority of the industry may have the right ambitions and are well progressed in designing architectures and POCs, but when it comes to actual adoption, how do you go from science experiment to operational transformation?

How to get the balance right between operational value and organisational adoption
Some real examples that have worked for Ericsson
Reflections on transformation challenges and adoption barriers
Role of strategic partners to derisk and speed up your autonomous journey

Roger Watling - FutureNet Asia 2026 speaker

Roger Watling, Head of Managed Services

Topics: The Future Network in an AI World: From Readiness to Reinvention

Time: Sept 23, 9:50 AM – 10:20 AM

What does a true AI network look like—and how prepared are today’s networks to support AI at scale?
How can telcos move from foundational AI deployments to full-scale, AI-driven network transformation?
What operating model changes are required to become AI-ready—and how can this transformation be accelerated?
How can telcos design networks for an uncertain future, balancing long-term vision with rapid technological change?

Magnus Ewerbring- FutureNet Asia 2026 speaker

Want to get your network operations to the next autonomy level?

Autonomous network operations are key for thriving in tomorrow’s differentiated connectivity landscape.

Ericsson is enhancing the Ericsson Operations Engine (EOE) portfolio and its operating model to align with the TM Forum’s Autonomous Operations Maturity Model and the Autonomous Network levels framework and methodology. This initiative aims to assist Communication Service Providers (CSPs) in transitioning from network management by humans to managing the machines that oversee the network. This shift promotes increased reliance on automated systems to make intelligent decisions quickly. Our operating model operates at a process scenario level, helping CSPs set attainable objectives focused on Return on Investment (ROI) rather than merely achieving a specific level of maturity.

Find out how we can help with your autonomous journey.

Overcoming network automation challenges

Over the past two decades, automation became crucial for managing network complexity and controlling operational costs, but early efforts lacked standardization, causing fragmented software management challenges. Also, AI-driven solutions, developed by the industry, struggled with scaling and integration, leading to a complex tool landscape.

The emergence of service management and orchestration (SMO) introduced a unified data layer to support AI-driven automation at scale. This was the baseline for rApps to take the key role in redefining network automation.

With an open, flexible, and scalable framework, rApps enable seamless collaboration and innovation, empowering communications service providers (CSPs) to manage networks more efficiently and improve end user experience.

Networks have never been as complex as they are today and rApps are key to unlock the opportunities. Watch this video to learn more.

How rApps are driving the shift towards open, autonomous networks

The autonomous network revolution is accelerating and intelligent operations are key to unlocking its full potential. Our #rAppItUp video series explores how AI-powered rApps are transforming networks with greater efficiency and automation.

Delve into our experts’ insights on rApps and how they support cutting management costs, improving user experience and accelerating innovation to leap into the future of RAN.
