Nokia offers AI as a service to help telcos with 5G network automation

With the proliferation of 5G, IoT, and connected devices, CSP operational teams need to efficiently manage an ever-growing complexity through virtualization, network slicing, new use-cases and service requirements. The need for AI and automation is greater than ever as traditional network and service management approaches are no longer sustainable. Finnish tech giant Nokia has recently launched the Nokia AVA 5G Cognitive Operations, an AI-as-a-service (AIaaS) offering, combining machine learning, data science, and cloud and telecom expertise. CSPs can now access the framework and its AI-driven solutions for transforming their network, business operations and services using automation, cloud scalability, and AI. The framework will provide CSPs assurance to meet committed SLAs and deliver insights to help with slice creation. The Nokia AVA 5G Cognitive Operations solution offers an intelligent provisioning system that could help CSPs identify network resources, explore new revenue opportunities, and identify what SLAs can be committed.
