Tech-Talk 4:
From Vision to Reality: Insights from industry leaders on their L4+ Autonomous Network Journey
Location: Majilis
As networks evolve toward Level 4 and beyond autonomy, operators need to be prepared in this journey. a journey from manual to automated to autonomous operations, adaptive autonomy with intent-driven control-loops and selected high-valuer-scenarios (HVS), leveraging new technologies in the AI Supercycle, the exponential era like Agentic AI, networks where in the human operators are assisted by AI-enabled co-pilots on-the-loop, an integrated AI-Agents in-the-loop to evolve to autonomous networks, wherein the human (us) plays still an important role.
This session brings together industry leaders from pioneer telco operators who are actively navigating this transition. Each operator will present their journey to higher levels of Autonomous Networks. Addressed will be per tmforum AN definitions, best practices, architectural considerations, organizational and operational impacts, and lessons learned in deploying advanced automation and autonomous networks frameworks. Attendees will gain actionable insights into accelerating their own autonomous network strategies.
Networking Coffee Break
MasterClass 9:

11:30am – 12:15pm
Tech-Talk 5:
Turning AI into ROI: Transport Network Opportunities & AI RAN Collaboration with Nvidia
Location: Majilis
AI is no longer just an operating tool for network optimization. The growing amount of AI consumer and enterprise use cases and the advent of AI Agents will be also drivers for network transformations, triggered by the enormous new demands on data centers, their interconnecting networks but also on the access networks. These new high performant, agile, secure and highly automated networks will not only deliver premium connectivity for the AI super cycle, but they can also become at the same time cost saving & revenue creating engines for network providers.
In this two part session, we’ll give first a short general overview on the new transformation & monetization options in the transport network domain driven by AI. In the second part of this Tech Talk we will have a panel discussion together with Nvidia, analysing the drivers and motives behind the recent collaboration announcement with Nokia on AI RAN. AI will also change the consumer traffic patterns, which in turn will require a radio network transformation at the far edge of the network. This is what the Nvidia/Nokia collaboration will address with new AI RAN solution concepts.
12:15pm – 1:00pm
Tech-Talk 6:

Optical LAN in the Data Centres
Location: Majilis
The AI-Supercycle is driving rapid data center growth. Legacy out-of-band (OOB) management networks are complex and can’t scale to support existing and future data center demands. Bulky copper cabling, limited rack space, and excessive power and cooling requirements are increasingly problematic. The Nokia Aurelis out-of-band management (OOBM) for data centers replaces legacy OOB architectures with a streamlined, Optical LAN-based solution with PON-technology, easing provisioning and configuration with less equipment and less cost. This Aurelis solution combines Nokia optical switches and purpose build optical modems with innovative control software. This tech talk will detail the Nokia OOBM solution with PON technology and its key benefits.
3:15pm – 4:00pm
Tech-Talk 8:
Towards Agentic Operations
Location: Majilis
Networks are becoming more complex, dynamic, and service-centric—requiring a shift from traditional automation to truly autonomous, agentic operations. AI agents are the next step in the evolution of AI use cases, where AI will not be used only for monitoring, analysing and guiding, but also for triggering concrete actions. This new era will have considerable impacts on future network operations.
In this session, we’ll explore how the recent advancements in Agentic AI are opening new avenues for realizing the autonomous networks. We will explain the journey from the current mainly manual network operations towards Agentic (AI) Autonomous Network Operations, all based on the latest agentic AI aspects as per TMforum. Furthermore we will present an Agentic Domain Controller Vision, providing cognitive control, enabled by AI-Agents/Copilots in the loop.
