From Infrastructure to intelligence: AI and the rise of self-aware networks

By David Cottingham, CTO, IQGeo

Most telecom operators would agree that they have no shortage of data and reports, but few would say they can do much with them. As networks grow in scale and complexity, the gap between information and insight only gets wider — and more dashboards won’t close it. What’s needed is infrastructure that can interpret what it sees, highlight what matters and intervene before small issues become expensive problems. With AI, we’re already starting to make self-aware networks a reality.
