Network automation
Increasing customer expectations and demanding new use cases mean mobile networks must perform at greater heights – and efficiencies – than ever before. So how can you get the most value from your networks and enable them to be more flexible, dynamic and sustainable? Network automation holds the key.
Mobile networks are evolving rapidly, becoming larger, denser and more heterogeneous. While they are already multi-vendor and multi-technology, networks are also becoming increasingly open and exposed – a pattern which will only grow with the uptake of 5G, and as service providers expand their offerings to serve the new use cases it enables. But this increased complexity is also challenging service providers’ abilities to reduce cost, improve service experience, maximize network agility and monetize new investments.
What is network automation
Network automation is the process of using software – and in many cases, the advanced capabilities of artificial intelligence (AI) technologies – to plan, deploy, configure, orchestrate, analyze and assure mobile networks and services.
With the use of computer algorithms to automate and analyze networks and operations, we can understand and manage them more simply and efficiently than ever before, significantly impacting results and saving resources that can be better used elsewhere.
