Moving from cloud native to AI native is about data and judgement, not just technology. Devesh Gautam, Global Head of Solution and Presales at @RakutenSymphony, explains why autonomy depends on having data structured in the right way. For operators, the key lesson is to get the sequencing right rather than focus solely on new technologies and architectures. ▶️ Watch the full panel discussion from the Cloud-Native Telco Summit: telecomtv.com/content/cloud-… #Telecoms #CloudNative #AINative #CloudNativeTelcoSummit #TelecomAI

What could more autonomous networks mean for CSP revenue? At the AI-Native Telco Forum 2026, Ron Porter of @amdocs-networks connected network autonomy with a bigger commercial opportunity: more reliable, responsive networks could help operators deliver advanced services and explore new, more dynamic pricing models. But getting there means moving beyond automation to networks that can predict and prevent issues before they happen. ▶️ Watch Ron Porter’s full session: telecomtv.com/content/the-ai… #AINativeTelcoForum #Telecoms #AutonomousNetworks #AgenticAI #TelecomAI

Nokia has been working hard with its investor @Nvidia to get GPU-based RAN into #mobile networks. Japan’s @SoftBank Corp. has long been on board with the AI-and-RAN concept and long ago developed its own AI-RAN solution, AITRAS, in partnership with Nvidia. Now SoftBank is to conduct a field trial of a technology stack that combines its AITRAS with @Nokia’s anyRAN software: telecomtv.com/content/the-fu… #telecom #AIRAN

Agentic AI needs more than intelligent models to deliver autonomous networks. At the AI-Native Telco Forum 2026, Anita Döhler of the @NGMN_Alliance discussed why telecom-grade AI needs the right harness to bring agents together with existing network automation tools, including machine learning algorithms that are already working well. The goal is to build on what operators have in place, rather than replace it — while preparing networks for native AI. ▶️ Watch Anita Döhler’s full session: telecomtv.com/content/the-ai… #AINativeTelcoForum #Telecoms #AgenticAI #AutonomousNetworks #TelecomAI

Where will AI create new monetisation opportunities for telcos? As AI becomes part of autonomous networks, products and services, operators have new opportunities to enhance existing offerings and develop entirely new services. 👉 Ahmed Hafez, SVP Network Strategy and Data & AI in Networks at @deutschetelekom, discusses how AI could also make services easier for customers to understand, configure and use — changing how operators serve their customers. ▶️ Watch Ahmed Hafez’s full session: telecomtv.com/content/the-ai… #Telecoms #TelecomAI #AutonomousNetworks #AINative #AI

Cutting OpEx only works if service quality holds up. Enrique Blanco, strategic advisor at @RakutenSymphony, explains why operators must improve efficiency while maintaining network performance and customer experience. Reducing costs at the expense of service quality risks losing revenue elsewhere. His wider perspective looks at why AI-native strategy needs a holistic framework, rather than a collection of isolated products. ▶️ Watch the full interview with Enrique Blanco: telecomtv.com/content/ai/enr… #Telecoms #AINative #AutonomousNetworks #NetworkAutomation #TelecomAI

As 5G core environments become increasingly complex, traditional approaches to lifecycle and configuration management are reaching their limits. 👉Join Josua Hiller, Director Mobile Core Services at @Swisscom on Tuesday 3 November for a discussion on how GitOps can simplify 5G core operations, accelerate software delivery and improve reliability.
