EIAP—the key enabler of autonomous networks

Ericsson Intelligent Automation Platform (EIAP) is the key enabler of high performing, efficient and open autonomous networks—and it is now expanding its capabilities to 5G Core.

EIAP is the first unified open network management and automation platform for RAN and core—built to support multivendor and multitechnology networks and bring the promise of autonomous networks closer. EIAP already leads the industry in RAN automation. Now, its capabilities expand to support 5G Core—generating synergies across your network.

EIAP is the leading network management and automation platform, proven in networks worldwide. With standard interfaces and open architecture, EIAP ensures effective operations in multivendor environments. With its combined data management capabilities and rich app ecosystem, it handles a wealth of automation use cases—like deployment, optimization, healing, and network evolution.

EIAP platform expands to support core networks

With new core automation capabilities, real-time data streaming, AI-native operations, closed-loop automation, multidomain synergies, innovation, and openness are enabled.

And when data streaming intelligence turns into autonomous action, resilience evolves, performance increases, and user experiences become flawless.

The future of networks is autonomous

It’s time to go beyond the traditional network management model of rules-based automation and high levels of manual input.

With its expanded capabilities, EIAP reaches further into your network, now supporting even more use cases across core network resiliency, performance, security, and user experience. Combined with existing platform capabilities, you gain even more visibility and control over your network.

Let’s accelerate the progress to fully autonomous networks (AN).
