🔸 As networks grow more sophisticated, CSPs need to rely more and more on intelligent automation. For this job, O-RAN ALLIANCE rApps seem to promise transformative benefits—from network healing to energy efficiency. 🔸 However, if you are not prepared, multiple rApps could end up in nasty conflicts that could impact your network performance. 📉🌐 To avoid this, you need expert insights in the first place. 👩💻 👨💻 Ericsson has pulled together strategies for this exact purpose. 😀 Learn how you can coordinate rApps in your network and maximize your network’s efficiency from this blog article. ⤵️ #️⃣ #Ericsson #ORANALLIANCE #ORAN #rApps #OpenRAN #AI #ArtificialIntelligence #NetworkManagement #CSPs #RANautomation #SMO #Framework #Technology #Innovation #TeamEricsson

ATIS’ Next G Alliance today announced publication of its 6G Management and Orchestration (M&O) report. It provides an in-depth analysis of the key aspects and challenges to enable the intelligent and autonomous M&O necessary to achieve a cognitive, energy-efficient, secure, robust, and resilient converged communication-computing #6G system. https://lnkd.in/eZuX77Tq

Why managing conflict between rApps is vital for RAN automation at scale Intelligent automation using O-RAN Alliance rApps has the potential to revolutionize the world of network management and orchestration. O-RAN Alliance rApps can automate radio access networks at scale, leveraging rich data and AI/ML to automate use cases such as network healing, network optimization, outage compensation, performance anomaly detection, energy saving and many more. As CSPs deploy rApps at scale, the need to co-ordinate between them to ensure optimal behavior increases. In this blog we consider strategies for intelligent co-ordination between different rApps to avoid conflicts between them.

My latest article at Analysys Mason dives into the future of Service Management & Orchestration (SMO). We predict significant growth, with the SMO market reaching USD 1.4 billion by 2028. This exciting outlook is driven by two key trends: -Resource Optimisation as SMO plays a vital role in AI-powered RAN automation for smarter resource utilisation. -Network Slicing: it is poised for strong growth as CSPs unlock the power of differentiated network services, where SMO will play a key role in orchestrating and managing these complex network slices. Keen to learn more? Check out my full article for a deeper dive into the trends, forecasts, and key drivers shaping the SMO market! https://lnkd.in/g_7vfH2G #SMO #Telecoms #5G #OpenRAN #NetworkSlicing #AnalysysMason #SDO #AI #RAN

ETSI is supporting FutureNet World 2024, which is returning to London on 16-17 April 2024 and will be actively contributing to the programme: Yoshihiro Nakajima, ETSI ISG NFV Chair, will take part in the Panel: Network & Service Automation – Transformation at scale to leverage the 5G opportunity, on 17 April, 11.40-12.10. The panel will discuss the following: * Reimagine and reshape operating models for 5G: paving the way to closed loop service lifecycle automation * Automating the management of network functions across multiple clouds * Operating and optimising 5G networks with ease whilst keeping costs low: the role of automation and AI * Cloud, data driven AI and new software architectures to accelerate 5G growth: how much progress has been made? Pål Grønsund, ETSI OSM Vice-chair, will take part in the Panel: Service Lifecycle Automation: Overcoming 5G complexity for scale and monetisation, on 17 April, 15.05-15.35. The panel will address the following: • Integrating functions of service orchestration and service assurance with a common data model • Automate the lifecycle management pre-5G, and 5G mobile and digital services across physical and cloud-based network: keys to success • Orchestration, inventory & topology, and assurance working together to design, orchestrate, and assure closed loop services • The role of unified inventory to provide a common data plane for automated service orchestration and service assurance Detailed information including agenda, registration is available on the event web site - https://lnkd.in/dgPAWteW ETSI Members benefit from a 25% discount when registering, using the code FNW24P25.

🚀 The Telco Network Automation Journey - Part 1 The journey towards network automation in the telecom industry is a fascinating one. With recent advancements in AI, telcos around the globe are beginning to embrace automation. However, this is no simple task. Industry association TM Forum has identified several hurdles, including trust, skill gaps, and cost justification. Network operators have been striving to automate processes for decades, primarily since the advent of network virtualisation and software-defined networking (SDN). Yet, pinpointing the most effective strategy remains challenging. The TM Forum has developed a methodology to help telcos measure progress, assessing automation on a scale from 0 (manual operations) to 5 (fully autonomous networks). Currently, the average level of automation across 22 surveyed operators stands at 2.5. So, what does this mean for the future? Companies like Orange and Telecom Argentina are already at level 2 and are diligently working towards higher levels. Orange, for example, aims to integrate automation at scale despite challenges with data accessibility. Meanwhile, Telecom Argentina is focusing on specific use cases, aspiring to reach level 4 by 2027. The road ahead is long, but with continued innovation and collaboration, the potential for fully automated networks is within reach. #Telecoms #NetworkAutomation #AI

CSPs add AI to their network transformation to-do list 🔆 LightCounting discusses highlights from FutureNet World 2024, a two-day communications service provider conference, held in London on April 16-17. 🔆 The conference added #AI to the general theme of network automation, but FutureNet World themes were broad with all the CSPs’ main concerns addressed: - challenges of #network #transformation - #business climate - network-as-a-service (#NaaS) - open-source initiatives such as #OpenRAN and open-source software - sustainability Read more at: https://lnkd.in/gZPzgmfx #telcos #networks #automation #technews #techviews #CTO Roy Rubenstein https://lnkd.in/gZPzgmfx

#aipowered #RAN or #AInizated telecom network solutions seem to be truly promising and #revolutionary. But, #transformations are not exactly like winning the lottery. In many transformations some crucial perspectives are missing. Therefore, #CSPs must be #transparent, taking a specific approach and consider all #business #implications. Such as: How difficult is it to #integrate AI based solutions into existing #telcoinfrastructure? What is the #cost and what is the #ROI/ the most crucial one when you talk about investments 😉 What about the #mindsettransformation? How you are going to cope with #Vendor lock- in? Indeed, its clear that everything #automated and #AIbased is cool, but what about the #consequences? Every #revolution must first build #trust and then #innovation!
