IG1218M Telefónica Practice on Autonomous Networks v1.0.0

With the accelerated innovation of 5G, Big Data, Cloud Computing, Artificial Intelligence (including Generative AI) and other technologies, digital transformation is gradually integrated into the process of economic and social development in all fields and has become a new driver for high-quality socio-economic development. To seize this opportunity, communications service providers (CSPs) must take advantage of the most advanced technologies to enhance their capabilities and address new market challenges.

Today’s markets are characterized by high volatility, uncertainty, complexity and ambiguity. However, challenges bring opportunities. With the continuous integration of communication technologies (CT) and information technologies (IT), the digital transformation of the communications industry has accelerated its pace.

Telefónica, the leading telecommunications operator in Spain, has a strong presence in Europe and Latin America, focusing on Spain, Brazil, Germany, and the United Kingdom, and also operating in several Latin American countries through its Hispam unit. It covers operations in 11 countries with 390 million customers.

The vision of Autonomous Networks is oriented to be able to offer innovative network services and capabilities, with a “Zero-X” experience, such as Zero-Wait, Zero-Touch and Zero-Problems for any type of user; offering simplicity and leaving the complexity associated with this type of value proposition to the management and operation unit of the network.
