Network automation can save operators up to 81% in management costs.
According to research carried out by Nokia, in collaboration with research firm Analysys Mason, operators can expect up to 81% cost savings after deploying optical network automation for network and service lifecycle management. To quantify optical network automation’s benefits across CAPEX, OPEX and revenue generation opportunities, Nokia and Analysys Mason interviewed global operators who have deployed network operations and service automation processes with Nokia WaveSuite. WaveSuite is a complete platform that
automates optical transport to lower costs and increase reliability and go to market faster with new services for increased revenue. Analysys Mason found the benefits of optical network automation spanned multiple areas of network and service lifecycle management, including reduced network lifecycle management operational costs by up to 56% by simplifying complex network operations tasks for shorter time to provision, configure, deploy and manage optical networks; operational cost savings
labour taken to complete service order orchestration, service fulfilment and service assurance processes; CAPEX avoidance of 26% by optimising network resources and retiring legacy network equipment; up to 10% uplift in anticipated revenue from the improved win rates, combined with an accelerated time-to-market for services and the ability to offer differentiated services through optical network slicing and network-as-a- service business models; and decreased time taken for service order fulfilment, from an average of 10 days to 24 hours, contributing to around
90% savings in operational costs. This enabled a Tier-1 North American operator to improve their win rates by 5x. Nokia says optical network automation is a key enabler for network operators to maximise optimisation, efficiency, reliability and scale, as well as TCO savings and asset monetisation for revenue generation. This comes amid surges in data traffic from sources such as AR/VR, AI/ML and IoT, as well as the growing trend of more programmable optical networks. Despite this, adoption remains slow due to new challenges with increasing OPEX.
