Based on TM Forum’s definition, Level 4 autonomous networks (AN) mark a pivotal shift from traditional automation of human-defined processes to fully autonomous behavior, where systems make decisions without involving humans. In this video, James Lim, Vice President – Core Planning, Engineering and Implementation at Globe Telecom, and Leo Ma, President of Cloud Core Network Marketing at Huawei, discuss Globe’s push to achieve Level 4 AN.
Core network stability and use of AI are key to achieving high levels of network autonomy, according to Lim and Ma.
“You need to have core network stability as the foundation and then couple it with intelligent and automated operations to be able to realize a truly autonomous core network,” says Lim. “And to achieve stability in the core…it really encompasses the entire lifecycle – from network planning to implementation to optimization up to operations and maintenance.”
