Autonomy without borders: Taking Level 4 cross domain

November 17, 2026
13:45-15:30
Impact stage
Autonomous Networks
Autonomous operations
Session overview: As operators scale towards TM Forum Level 4 autonomy, success increasingly depends on orchestrating intelligence across multiple network domains rather than automating them in isolation. This session explores how CSPs are integrating AI agents, digital twins and shared operational intelligence to coordinate decisions across increasingly complex, multi-vendor environments. 

13:45 – 14:00 
Executive Interview: From AI-RAN to autonomous enterprises: Breaking the boundaries of Level 4 autonomy 
  • See how AI-RAN is extending autonomy beyond the network 
  • Learn what it takes to coordinate decisions across domains
  • Identify the biggest opportunities for AI-native services and edge monetization
  • Take away practical lessons for achieving Level 4 autonomy at scale 
Alex Jinsung Choi, Principal Fellow, SoftBank Corp./Chair, AI-RAN Alliance

14:00 – 14:15 
Towards an AI-native 6G network: Orchestrating intelligence across the autonomous network 
  • Extending autonomous decision-making beyond individual network domains 
  • Enabling multiple AI agents to collaborate using consistent data, policies and operational objectives 
  • Deploying cross-domain operational workflows to reduce duplication, accelerate fault resolution and improve service resilience  
  • Drawing on TM Forum standards and open architectures to enable multi-vendor interoperability and reduce management complexity  
Takehiro Nakamura, Chief Standardization Officer, NTT DOCOMO

14:15 – 14:30
AI reshapes next-gen OSS: Redefining user habits for autonomous operations 
  • Exploring how agentic AI is transforming current OSS applications  
  • Examining the key LLM approaches underpinning next-generation OSS enabling context-aware and adaptive decision-making 
  • How agent-to-agent interactions are optimizing OSS environments, reducing manual interventions while accelerating processing complex O&M tasks 
Jay Sun, General Manager, Inspur OBD, Inspur with CSP partner 
 
14:45 - 15:00 
Case study: One network, one truth: Towards autonomy 
  • How VIL has consolidated multi-domain, multi-vendor network data into a Unified Network Data Platform 
  • Bringing together resource, service and topology data across RAN, Transport/Optical, IP, Core and Cloud domains, spanning millions of physical and virtual network resources 
  • Enabling intelligent site feasibility analysis, planning & design, and automating MOP generation  
  • Digitizing site rollout enabling VIL to deploy 15500 sites in just 12 months, with a target of reaching 3500 sites per month 
Anurag Dalela, VP OSS Digitization and Transformation, Vodafone Idea 
Anil Rao, Product Marketing Director, Oracle 

15:00 – 15:30 
Panel: Is cross-domain autonomy ready for telecoms? 
  • How can AI agents coordinate decisions across the RAN, transport, core and cloud without introducing conflicting objectives or creating new operational silos? 
  • Where are operators seeing measurable value from cross-domain autonomy (eg. linking RAN optimization with transport capacity, energy efficiency and CX?) 
  • What standards, knowledge models and interfaces are required for trusted agent-to-agent collaboration across multi-vendor RAN and network environments? 
  • As AI-native RAN evolves towards 6G, what new coordination challenges emerge between radio, edge, cloud and service orchestration, and how should operators prepare today? 
Sudhakar Pandey, General Manager RAN Business Unit, Rakuten Mobile
