Autonomous Networks
Across the Americas, operators are prioritizing the critical enablers: integrating AI into operations, modernizing legacy OSS environments, and designing for zero-touch service delivery.
This pathway brings together network leaders, technologists and AI innovators to spotlight where tangible progress is being made, and what must come next to unlock scalable, autonomous networks. We'll cover:
- Automating operations with closed-loop control and intent-based orchestration
- Evolving from reactive fault management to predictive, self-healing networks
- Engineering trust, resilience, and security into the autonomous network stack
- Modernizing NOCs with AI-native visibility, decision support, and reduced human intervention
- Laying the foundations for Level 4 autonomy through advancements in data architecture and operational design
