Breaking the RANcuffs: How operators can accelerate RAN Autonomy
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.
Telefónica – Autonomous networks case study
Welcome to this series analysing network autonomy efforts by leading telcos worldwide. In this second edition, we put the spotlight on a leading multinational operator in the journey toward autonomous networks.
From reactive networks to AI-driven automation: A new path to network autonomy
This report explores how a more adaptive, cross-domain AI approach, leveraging the latest AI techniques such as time series foundation models, can move operators forward in their network autonomy journey and unlock significant financial value.
China Mobile – Autonomous networks case study
Welcome to this series analysing network autonomy efforts by leading telcos worldwide. In this first edition, we put the spotlight on a successful operator journey coming from China.
5G: The next phase
The range of optional additional features in 5G has expanded massively since previous generations. This report covers the technology, use cases and timelines for six of the less-discussed domains of 5G evolution – RedCap, sidelink, URLLC and time-sensitive networking, drone connectivity, precise positioning and real-time communication.
MWC 2025: A tech show, not a telecom one
It was no surprise that AI dominated MWC this year. But there were lots of other notable trends on the rise – including cybersecurity and data centres – and some that were disappointingly overlooked. Find out what the STL Partners team saw and missed at MWC 2025.
Autonomous networks: The role of multi-agent systems
The development of agents underpinned by data and knowledge assets looks set to be a major challenge for telcos. It may take up to ten years for telcos to truly master agents, but they will be key to the realisation of fully autonomous networks.
Digital twins: Accelerating progress towards autonomous networks
Trusted intelligence is crucial for operators in progressing to Level 4+
autonomous networks. This research explores the role of digital twins, agentic AI and operator knowledge in achieving trusted intelligence.
The journey to a self-healing network: Intelligence, agents and complexity
As the deployment of AI/ML ramps up, telcos need to develop an ‘intelligence architecture’, supporting the move towards Level 4 and 5 in the TM Forum’s Autonomous Network Framework. How will such an intelligent architecture support the self-healing network?
