Open Session #18 - Autonomous Networks: Building autonomy from assessment to realization

Networks are the heart of CSPs’ businesses, but rising demands are accelerating the shift to cheaper, easier-to-manage operations across the connectivity industry.


Now, imagine networks that can think, adapt, and optimize themselves in real time – healing, scaling, and improving on their own. This technology isn't a future concept; it is already happening. Still, making the leap isn’t simple. Legacy systems, siloed operations, and a lack of clear starting points hold many CSPs back.


In this session, we'll explore:

  • How CSPs can assess their current networks and plan their next strategic steps
  • How vendors and system integrators can prepare or a world of automation


Join TM Forum's VP Innovation, Aaron Boasman-Patel, and Product Marketing Director, Mark Geere, as they share how Autonomous Networks can drive innovation, not just serve as a technical upgrade. They'll also talk about our new Autonomous Networks Mission, and how it's helping the industry move toward Zero-X operations with shared standards like the AN Levels Architecture, AN Level Toolkit (ANLET), and ANL Assessment Validation (ANLAV).
