Autonomous networks: Level 4 industry blueprint

Autonomous networks (AN) promise to be transformative for communications service providers (CSPs), enabling them to operate more efficiently, deliver better customer experiences and innovate rapidly. TM Forum’s community sits at the center of an industry-wide collaboration to drive the uptake and evolution of AN technology, processes and the business models they enable.

The objective of this report is to highlight a blueprint for progression towards Level 4 autonomous networks – a state of high autononomy – from architecture and key technologies to evolution path, with a particular focus on high-value scenarios. It serves as a preview for a much more detailed exploration scheduled for publication in November 2024.
