Intelligent Automation Platform

The Ericsson Intelligent Automation Platform is a comprehensive solution designed to enhance network automation at scale through advanced intelligence. It integrates cutting-edge AI and machine learning capabilities to enable proactive, self-learning, and self-optimizing network operations. This platform facilitates automation across multi-vendor and multi-technology networks, helping operators reduce operational complexity and costs.

By leveraging real-time data insights and closed-loop automation, the Ericsson Intelligent Automation Platform improves network performance and user experience. It supports various use cases including fault prediction, capacity optimization, and energy efficiency, ensuring networks are more resilient and adaptive to changing demands. Overall, this platform empowers service providers to accelerate their journey towards fully autonomous networks, enhancing efficiency and agility in network management.

The Ericsson Intelligent Automation Platform has 3 main components:

• Non-Real-Time-RAN Intelligent Controller (Non-RT-RIC)
  Within the SMO framework, the RAN intelligent controller, or RIC, is a new end-to-end automation solution which manages and orchestrates software applications and algorithms that optimize network performance. Ericsson implements the Non-RT-RIC with the Ericsson Intelligent Controller (EIC)

• Operation and Maintenance
  Ericsson Network Manager (ENM) is a unified, open, and multivendor network manager providing operations and management for purpose built and Open RAN networks

• Resource Orchestration
  Lifecycle management of network functions and cloud infrastructure automating Open RAN cloud management with the Ericsson Orchestrator (EO)

“We started the journey years ago jointly with our partner Ericsson, and the new Ericsson Intelligent Automation Platform that Ericsson is providing is the next step in evolving it. A key part is that it’s based on standards, which allows not only Ericsson or ourselves to develop applications on top, but also enables a marketplace for the good ideas that can – and will – emerge elsewhere.”

Mark Düsener, CTIO of Swisscom

“Being part of the Ericsson Intelligent Automation Platform ecosystem is a major milestone for Aira Technologies. It allows us to bring our AI-powered rApps into a broader network environment, accelerating innovation and deployment. This collaboration enables operators to optimize their networks more intelligently and efficiently, aligning perfectly with our mission to deliver smarter, automated RAN solutions.”
