Ericsson and AWS are joining forces to build the next generation of mobile networks, leveraging artificial intelligence for self-healing capabilities. The partnership aims to create intelligent networks that can automatically identify, diagnose, and resolve issues, proactively minimizing disruptions and optimizing user experience.
At the heart of this collaboration is the application of AI to the intricate systems that power mobile communication. By integrating AI-powered RAN automation applications with agentic AI, the networks will learn to anticipate and autonomously address problems, adapting in real-time to changing conditions.
The vision is to develop ‘intent-based networks’ capable of maintaining consistent data speeds, improving coverage, and reducing dropped calls, even during periods of peak demand. This level of automation is considered crucial as 5G networks become more widespread and the evolution towards 6G necessitates increasingly sophisticated management systems.
By empowering mobile operators to manage their networks with less manual intervention, this collaboration promises to significantly improve service quality while simultaneously reducing operational costs. The initiative highlights the growing importance of AI as a fundamental element of modern telecommunications infrastructure.
