PRESS RELEASE
Most of the telecoms trade’s largest names took to the stage at TM Discussion board’s Autonomous Networks (AN) Summit in Copenhagen to debate the taking autonomous networks to Stage 4
Business leaders from Telefonica, Vodafone, China Cellular, Zain, MTN, AIS, EANTC, and Huawei gathered on the Summit and delivered keynote speeches focussing on AN. They spoke to an viewers representing over 150 international operators, every looking for to be taught the newest progress and achievements associated to Autonomous Networks.
From conceptual consensus to deployment at scale, AN has made nice progress after greater than 4 years of growth. Over 14 operators internationally have launched their AN technique of reaching Stage 4 by 2025, with 70% anticipating to achieve Stage 3 and past by 2025.
To drive the event and adoption of AN additional, TM Discussion board launched the AN Whitepaper 5.0 as a information for all operators to implement AN, with all of the audio system becoming a member of the Whitepaper launch ceremony on the Summit.
Aaron Boasman-Patel, the chair of the TM Discussion board AN Program, mentioned in his presentation: “We just lately launched the AN Manifesto to speed up the adoption of autonomous networks and I’m delighted to see 31 massive CSP and vendor members turn out to be founding signatories in such a short while – this signifies the important function autonomous networks goes to play in CSPs operations. Moreover, we launched the brand new the AN Whitepaper R5.0, which noticed contributions by 64 companions. On this launch, we renewed the 4 Components Methodology because the AN Framework (ANF), which can act because the AN Journey Information for operators whereas adopting.”

Juan Manuel Caro, Director Autonomous Networks of Telefonica, mentioned: “1) Agility, Intelligence, Effectivity, High quality, Sustainability are a set of Program Foundational Drivers guiding us in our Transformation journey, specializing in single autonomous use instances first and AI, then progressing to extra complicated , cross-domain use instances; 2) Defining an automation structure (Community Mind Coronary heart and methods of working) and hierarchy primarily based in AI algorithms embedded in each layer 3) Established government committee with our CTIO and we dedicated a 3-year plan with KPI primarily based on autonomous community and the autonomy and sustainability objectives and high quality objectives.”

Boonchoung Tansuthepverawongse, Head of Community information and OSS Platform from AIS, mentioned in his presentation: “After one other yr of nice efforts, AIS isn’t wavering within the strategic purpose of turning into a Cognitive Tech-Co to unleash digital buyer expertise excellence. Alongside this journey, AN have at all times performed a big function in forming the idea for enhancing community reliability, community high quality, operation effectivity and most significantly, boosting AIS enterprise development.”

Mohamed Salah, Head of community operation and transformation at MTN Group, mentioned: “MTN repeatedly making innovation by value-base automation program beneath MTN’s PACE technical technique. The situations (similar to NPS enchancment) are chosen with “services-networks-value streams” three-d mannequin. So, we are able to enhance our AN stage and seize the worth autonomous networks throughout this evolution journey.”

Carsten Rossenhoevel, Co-Founder & CTO, EANTC mentioned: “Lifelike AN exams and assessments are an necessary success issue for the event of the TM Discussion board Autonomous Networks ecosystem. EANTC and Huawei collectively accomplished the primary impartial AN resolution take a look at within the IP area.

Sam Wang, Normal Supervisor of Huawei ADN Options mentioned: “Practices and applied sciences are the 2 core drivers for Autonomous Networks. Huawei will proceed to put money into the scenario-based options, root applied sciences similar to basis fashions, and enablement companies to drive the trade ahead. And the trade needs to be extra open and cooperative to construct a telecom basis mannequin to help richer enterprise software situations.”

Increasingly more operators are exploring AN,and actively sharing their implementation expertise, serving to to unfold these necessary classes throughout the trade. Undoubtedly, this type of sharing, dialogue and collaboration will encourage the actual innovation and alter for paving the way in which to extremely Autonomous Networks.
