Cross-domain autonomy: Orchestrating fiber, core, cloud, RAN and satellite

Chair: Patrick Lopez, Founder & CEO, Core Analysis

14:00 – 14:15 
From domain automation to end-to-end autonomy 

• How CSPs are connecting AI-driven automation across mobile, transport, cloud, edge and other network domains  
• Moving beyond individual use cases to end-to-end, intent-driven orchestration across the network  
• Balancing network performance, capacity, resilience, customer experience and business priorities in real time  
• What it takes to break down the technical, data and organisational silos that stand in the way of cross-domain autonomy  

14:15 – 14:30 
Fireside chat: Delivering end-to-end assurance across autonomous networks 

• Bringing together assurance, observability, and AI to support end-to-end autonomous operations 
• Correlating events across multiple network domains  
• Using AI to predict and prevent service degradation and creating a unified operational view  
• Improving customer experience through proactive assurance

Arvind Basra, Sr Director, VBG Platforms, Verizon 

14:30 – 14:45 
Designing the autonomous network fabric 

• Orchestrating services across fiber, RAN, core, cloud, and satellite networks  
• Using intent-driven operations to automate cross-domain decision-making  
• Dynamically optimizing performance, capacity, and resilience in real time  
• Building the operational foundations for end-to-end network autonomy 

Nicolas Tellechea, Senior Architect of Autonomous Network Transformation, Telecom Argentina 

14:45 – 15:00 
Case study: From digital twins to a self-driving network

• Discover the data-estate prerequisites nobody budgets for before attempting L4 autonomy  
• Learn why GNN-based origin analysis beats anomaly detection for business-aware healing  
• Moving from self-healing to predictive operations and how that redefines customer experience, not just network resilience

Abhitabh Kushwaha, AVP - AI Networks, Verizon 

15:00 – 15:30 
Panel: How close are we to end-to-end autonomy?  
The future autonomous network will span mobile, fiber, cloud, edge, transport, and satellite environments, orchestrated dynamically through AI-native operations and intent-based automation. In this session, join us as we explore how CSPs are approaching cross-domain orchestration, ubiquitous connectivity, and end-to-end autonomous assurance across increasingly complex infrastructures. 

• Can we really orchestrate the entire network? 
• Where does cross-domain autonomy work - and where does it fail? 
• What breaks when you try to scale across domains? 
• How far can intent-driven operations go? 
• What does it take to deliver connectivity everywhere?
