Deployments are limited, but in an increasing number of places both in the production network and more widely in the lab
Mobile Europe‘s research report, Where are the biggest opportunities for intelligence? identifies the five types of AI most useful to telcos based on their experience so far and their likely future needs. It can provide five major capabilities to the network and OSS, which telcos are trialling and deploying, roughly as shown from left to right below.
The report has examines how AI is being used or experimented with to gain advantages in each of the five areas. For example, as Hrvoje Jerkovic, Core Network Director at Three UK, observes, “There are zillions of potential anomaly detection requirements in the network and the real value of deploying this intelligence is to find issues that your most experienced engineers would not be able to find and diagnose”.
The report includes brief case studies from Colt Technology Services and AIS, before going on to explore the reported and expected benefits.
It also investigates the key requirements for return on investment in each area – as Philippe Ensarguet, VP, Software Engineering at Orange group, notes, “Training LLMs and building infrastructure to support them is very costly, even for a large company like Orange”
The report ends with recommendations for success. Download it now, free, from here.
