Autonomous networks: from concept to reality

Communications service providers (CSPs) will need to move to more highly automated network technologies and architectures as they continue their digital transformations. This report, based on new research, looks at CSPs' vision for future autonomous networks and the strategies they could adopt to move from concept to reality.

Autonomous networks: from concept to reality

Highly automated network technologies and architectures are the cornerstones of next-generation telco operations, and yet we have seen very few real-world examples of genuinely autonomous live networks. TM Forum research conducted May-July 2022 suggests that this situation is about to change as a convergence of rapidly maturing new technologies, business imperatives and management buy-in accelerates adoption of autonomous network (AN) methodologies.

Read this report to understand:

  • Where CSPs believe they are currently on their AN implementation journey
  • What business goals and visions are driving AN adoption
  • How long it will take the industry to get to fully autonomous network implementations
  • What role standards play in AN developments
  • How the methodology is being implemented in real-world network deployments
  • Which CSPs are taking the lead with AN implementation.

Our new research builds on our previous report in 2021, Autonomous networks: business and operational drivers, and is designed to give wider industry context.
