ROAD TO ZERO-TOUCH AUTOMATION @ Las Vegas

ROAD TO ZERO-TOUCH AUTOMATION

Date: Thu, 29 Sep: 16:30 – 17:30 PDT

Location: Level 2, W229, WEST HALL

With network virtualization, 5G and IoT, operators can potentially increase revenue from their networks. However, to fully unleash its potential requires dynamic management.

Mobile carriers are continuing down the path to zero-touch networks automation with the promised potential to eliminate manual errors, improve operational efficiency and reduce time to market for new services, but key questions need to be addressed.

  • Where should automation start, and how close are we ready to fully get human intervention out of the networks?
  • Does zero-touch network offer a glimpse into Open RAN multi-vendor interface and enables orchestration of network slices with the performance guarantees?
  • And when will self-driving networks for 5G and beyond finally meet the expanding needs of a digital future?

Join Peter Jarich, Head of GSMA Intelligence, as he explores answers to these questions and more on the topic with the top industry figures.

Session Speakers: 

  • Cristina Rodriguez, VP & General Manager, Wireless Access Networking Division, Intel
  • Murali Gandluru, VP Strategy, Product & GTM, Software Networking, IBM

We try to identify new opportunities to reduce environmental impact. Our Media Center and GSMA stands are completely paper-free, we recycle/reuse all hall and walkway carpeting after events, and our app encourages the use of digital information rather than paper – so that everything is in one neat and tidy virtual space!

Barcelona: Two-thirds of the world’s mobile connections will be running on 4G and 5G networks by 2025, according to the new 2018 edition of the GSMA’s ‘Mobile Economy’ report, published today at Mobile World Congress. It is forecast that 4G will account for 53 per cent of global mobile connections by 2025 (up from 29 per cent in 2017), while 5G networks will grow to account for a further 14 per cent, following the launch of the first commercial 5G networks this year. The report also measures the growth of the Internet of Things (IoT) over this period and the mobile industry’s increasing role in contributing to economic growth and social development.
