Press Launch
[Copenhagen, Denmark, June 19, 2024] The Autonomous Networks Summit was held throughout DTW 2024. Distinguished visitors, together with executives and representatives from China Cellular, TM Discussion board, Vodafone, Telefonica, Huawei, Ericsson, and AsiaInfo, in addition to Professor Joseph Sifakis, the winner of the 2007 Turing Award, delivered speeches and engaged in discussions in regards to the Degree 4 growth path. In the course of the summit, trade companions collectively launched the Autonomous Networks Degree 4 trade blueprint: high-value situations.
This report introduces the Autonomous Networks (AN) Degree 4 trade blueprint, which incorporates the imaginative and prescient and targets, worth situations, expertise structure, and evolution path. It serves as a helpful reference for communications service suppliers (CSPs) seeking to plan and deploy AN Degree 4. TM Discussion board has chosen 15 high-value situations primarily based on service and operations worth and expertise maturity for CSPs to prioritize when implementing Degree 4. Moreover, TM Discussion board has proposed the mixing of AI and GenAI into the three-layer AN structure to develop role-specific copilots and scenario-specific brokers. Moreover, TM Discussion board has outlined the general AN Degree 4 evolution plan. The plan focuses on reaching single-domain closed-loop autonomy in upkeep and optimization situations in section 1. In section 2, the plan focuses on implementing end-to-end closed-loop autonomy in complicated situations.
Autonomous Networks Degree 4 Business Blueprint
In the course of the occasion themed ‘L4 is Coming’, a various group of visitors shared their ideas on Degree 4 high-value situations, key challenges, options, and sensible experiences. The discussions centered across the journey in the direction of reaching Degree 4.
Within the welcome speech, Nik Willetts, TM Discussion board CEO, stated, “ As one in all TM Discussion board Missions, Autonomous Networks not solely enhance the O&M effectivity and consumer expertise, but in addition permits operators to effectively innovate new providers and merchandise, and unlock the brand new income alternatives.”
Dr Li Huidi, Vice President of China Cellular, emphasised in his speech that “As 5G, AI and different applied sciences shortly develop, we’re writing a brand new chapter of historical past. To realize AN Degree 4, we suggest the next ideas. First, we should seize the alternatives for innovation and encourage varied organizations to collaborate on the event of an AN requirements system. Second, we should advance trade collaboration and develop a brand new ecosystem for converged growth. Then, we should broadly promote worldwide collaboration primarily based on the idea of mutual advantages.”
“Autonomous Networks are a sophisticated integration of AI and networks, and Extremely Autonomous Networks have to be achieved section by section. We should combine an AI agent structure to networks, whereas making certain reliable programs and community group intelligence.” stated Professor Joseph Sifakis, whereas presenting his options to AN L4+ technical challenges.
As a consultant of main distributors, Dang Wenshuan, Huawei’s Chief Technique Architect, said, “Autonomous Networks are at the moment witnessing large progress. We recommend that the trade take Degree 4 as a brand new place to begin and cling to 5 ideas, that are single-domain autonomy, cross-domain collaboration, value-driven, visualization, and productization. We must always develop scenario-specific AI brokers and role-specific copilot apps as merchandise {and professional} providers to realize a quantum leap to Autonomous Networks Degree 4.”
Reaching Degree 4 will probably be a gradual and long-term course of that requires step-by-step and phase-by-phase implementation. The Degree 4 trade blueprint is anticipated to function a helpful information for the trade because it progresses in the direction of Degree 4. All trade stakeholders are devoted to working collectively to drive the transformation of the telecom trade in the direction of Extremely Autonomous Networks.
About Autonomous Networks Summit
Autonomous Networks (AN) was collectively proposed by TM Discussion board and trade companions, together with carriers and distributors in 2019, aiming to make providers faster, cheaper and less complicated to deploy and handle. After 5 years of growth, AN has achieved exceptional milestones in trade consensus, standardization and sensible implementation. Autonomous Networks Summit is a communication platform for trade leaders to share their practices, ideas, and viewpoints round AN and talk about methods to collaborate to advance AN growth.
