Your Autonomous Networks journey starts here

Autonomous Networks are no longer a distant vision. We're working with the industry to define the next decade of end-to-end Zero-X operations, helping providers move from ambition to real, scalable autonomy.

Unlock a level of operational efficiency the operators have been chasing for decades

Early adopters of autonomous networks are already cutting out complexity, reducing costs, and delivering service quality their competitors simply can't reach. Those who move now will define the next era of network operations.

TM Forum's Autonomous Networks Mission brings together 800+ organizations across the global connectivity ecosystem. Built around five core Capabilities, the Mission helps providers fast-track their journey to true Zero-X operations through industry insight, practical tools, certifications, connections and collaboration.

Operators are already moving towards autonomous networks

Autonomous Network Levels (AN Levels) measure the degree of autonomic capability for a specific network scenario, such as fault management in the RAN or quality optimisation in the IP network. To find out more about AN Levels, read the Level 4 industry blueprint report.

Many operators are aiming for AN Level 4, which requires intelligent, Al-driven automation - and some have already reached it. See examples below.

Some of the operators who have reached AN Level 4
