Ericsson and Malaysia’s Digital Nasional Bhd ( DNB) have won a second global award for their implementation of Artificial Intelligence ( AI ) Intent- based operations ( IBO ) solution, part of Ericsson Operations Engine.
FutureNet World, a company in the telecommunications sector, has received the most recent award in the AI for Network Operations ( AIOps ) category for the best automated operations solution that incorporates AI functionality. Prior to 2022, the intent-based option had won the Glotel Award.
The Intent based Operations is the next evolution of DNB’s 5G network, leveraging 5G Advanced technology standards and artificial intelligence ( AI ) to incorporate machine learning ( ML), and automation to increase agility, simplify management, improve security and network resilience.
About  , AI Intent- based activities
Intent-based operations are based on making a statement about what a service company wants the community to accomplish or what results are desired from the system. The intent-based program will therefore interpret it as the network administrator, who will manage the network to accomplish the goal.
Utilizing AI/ML systems and the related technology, these features empower networks to adjust to fluctuating demands and conditions quickly, providing a more efficient and versatile system for telecommunications. To increase the customer experience, network resources are automatically managed to improve the user experience.
” The current rate of Malaysia’s 5G system, measured by Ookla as globe- class, is now enough for today’s use cases but enterprise use cases require more than just higher 5G speeds. According to Ken Tan, DNB Chief Technology Officer, using intent-based operations allows for effective control of the growing challenges involved in delivering distinguished  , 5G accessibility to various events while adhering to SLAs.
AI utilized in 5G system to enhance performance, enhance user experiences
AI is being leveraged in the 5G network to optimize performance and enhance user experiences, given that fresh services require often- on higher performance, super- reliability, low overhead, and high levels of security.  ,
DNB’s high performing, secure, resilient 5G network enables Malaysia’s mobile network operators to consistently deliver high- quality and scalable services to enterprises.
Businesses that can use AI and Machine Learning ( ML) to transform their operations, including those in manufacturing, healthcare, smart cities, and transportation, are in need of a programmable 5G Standalone network at a global scale. With these improvements in productivity and efficiency, they can capitalize on digitalization’s competitive advantage.
” Enabling intent-based operations in the network unlocks differentiated connectivity with distinct network slices and Service Level Agreements ( SLAs ),” said Ericsson Malaysia, Sri Lanka, and Bangladesh Head. To digitalize their operations, Malaysian businesses can rely on a secure and robust network that is ready for 5G Advanced.
The Ericsson Operations Engine, the first multi-operating core network ( MOCN), was used to create the world’s first multi- operator core network ( MOCN), which serves the needs of six communication service providers and provides affordable 5G connectivity for Malaysia, and was the recipient of the FutureNet World Award.
The use of automation, such as intent-based operations, significantly improves network resilience and lowers operating costs because of its use of complexity-sensitive algorithms. For the past five years, DNB and Ericsson have been working together on initiatives aimed at improving the 5G experience and accelerating digital services for consumers, government, and businesses, including providing on-demand services.
