Autonomous networks need agents that can be trusted to act on live events. That means solving two problems: data that is thorough enough to catch a genuine anomaly, and fast enough to remain valid by the time a decision is made. How should operators approach both?
RAN autonomy will not deliver impact unless technical progress and value creation advance in parallel. Our dual-axis framework will help operators to assess where they are today, identify constraints across the lifecycle and the investments most likely to scale.
To deliver on their AI visions (especially agentic AI), operators must transform their data foundations and capabilities to avoid “garbage in, garbage out”. We identify the steps operators can take to get their data ready for AI on the journey towards level 4+ autonomy.
To move from pipe to platform, telcos must take on a new role as a strategic enabler of their customers’ transformation. Drawing on a recent survey of 1,214 enterprises, this report explores how telcos can effectively evolve by offering managed cloud services to unlock longer-term B2B growth opportunities.
