Autonomous network operations are not an incremental change, nor are they the next update of traditional automation. Rather, it is a very different approach to automation and breaks an enormous number of accepted “rules” in telecom. This makes the move to autonomous networks difficult – but if done properly, hugely beneficial and transformative to the business.
In this study we combine in-depth primary market research with Appledore’s years of market coverage on the evolution of telecom networks and operations toward autonomy.
The result is seven key findings about operators’ progress towards autonomous networks, with specific insights from individual operators adding extra color.
We also offer our own recommendations to operators setting out – or already on – the journey to autonomous networks.
While this document focusses on broadband access; the technology, process, and impacts are consistent across technologies, organizations and professions. In fact, broadband access is one part of the larger picture – and will be a contributing technology in 5G densification as well.
