Autonomous Networks Summit 2022

Friday, October 28, 2022 | 2pm – 4pm UTC/GMT+07.00

Live and in-person | Bangkok, Thailand

Co-located with Ultra-Broadband Forum (UBBF) 2022

The race is on…for end-to-end network automation

Autonomous Networks (AN) powered alongside other technologies such as AI, big data, cloud and edge computing will make services quicker, cheaper and simpler to deploy and manage. AN will enable operators to unlock over $700 billion of new revenues from industrial 5G and B2B2x opportunities that require automation to manage the billions of devices connected to the internet as well as deliver on the ultra-low latency and high reliability many 5G use cases require. AN will also enable CSPs to deliver a “Zero X” (zero wait, zero touch, zero trouble) experience deliver simplicity to the users and leave complexity with the providers.

In 2019, TM Forum set up the Autonomous Networks Program to provide an industry-led approach for end-to-end network automation. Now, there is no doubt over the significance that autonomous networks will have in intelligent network automation. For Communication Service Providers (CSPs) the question is not if, but when they will be able to create fully autonomous networks, what opportunities will be available once these have been created, and which tools should be utilized to achieve this goal.

Aiming to build up a global communication and collaboration platform for the AN industry, we are holding the Autonomous Networks Summit 2022 in Bangkok, Thailand. Here, you will hear from trailblazers who are creating real change and inspire others with their autonomous network’s strategy and best practice. Real change can only happen when we come together to discus and collaborate to resolve key challenges of intelligent networks automation.

By attending the Autonomous Networks Summit, you gain access to the Ultra-Broadband Forum (UBBF), October 27 – 28, 2022.

This is an invite-only event. If you are interested in attending either virtually or in-person, please submit your interest below, confirming whether you will be in person or virtually and we will be in touch.
