Why are automation and AI essential in radio network operations?
With the introduction of 5G, there are more network elements, sites, and cells than ever before. Operating and optimizing 5G radio networks with manual-intensive tools or even with simple automation is no longer possible. Managing the increasing network complexity cost-efficiently requires more than just automation. Artificial intelligence is the key enabler for efficient 5G RAN operations.
Improve radio network performance
By reducing the need for human involvement in radio network optimization and harnessing the power of AI, the operator can solve problems faster, prevent issues from developing, and deliver a better customer experience — with significant operational cost savings.
Reduce radio network energy consumption
Automated radio network configuration and AI-powered optimization of RAN energy efficiency features are essential for reducing RAN energy consumption. With intelligent RAN energy management, automating energy savings is possible in all types of radio networks without any degradation in network KPIs.
Enhance radio network quality
When network complexity grows, the number of parameters and needed optimizations becomes so high that it is too much for humans alone to manage. Automation and AI eliminate the risk of human errors by shifting the burden of real-time problem analysis and solutions to machine learning systems.
Artificial intelligence is a game changer for RAN operations
Operators will add more frequency bands, dedicated network slices and sophisticated software capabilities that all need to be optimized and managed. That amounts to thousands of base stations and millions of cells - too much for humans alone to manage. AI can handle routine operations significantly faster and produce better quality than previous tools.
