Not only is data democratization likely, it is also a prerequisite for ensuring that operational agility and efficiency goals can be reached – and for delivering the promise of new service capabilities.

There are two big hurdles to clear for operators wanting to make this leap. The first is in their mindset. A transformation of this sort takes them away from being a pure telco and towards the realm of the IT company.

Elisa Polystar’s Virtual NOC (vNOC) solution features an AI-powered anomaly detection algorithm that continuously monitors KPIs throughout the network. Rather than simply waiting for these KPIs to cross a specified threshold, the vNOC ML Engine is trained with historical data and utilizes statistical change point detection to issue “performance alarms” at the point where performance begins to change for the worse.

Elisa Polystar provides a fully automated first-line network operations center – Virtual NOC. One feature of the Virtual NOC is an AI-powered anomaly detection algorithm that issues “performance alarms.”

Open RAN and Hybrid Networks – migration is coming, but it will be a long journey. There are key operational issues that must be considered and a harmonized approach to assurance will be essential. Why?

Convergence and delivery are going to drive the telecoms industry in 2022. We’re heading towards a unified cloud architecture for service delivery, and delivery is accelerating, as operators deploy 5G Standalone networks at scale. These trends are interrelated and supported by a host of innovations. Read on for the Elisa Polystar predictions for 2022.

Automation has been the key enabler that allows us to offer universal services, cost effectively and profitably.

Delivering enhanced connectivity services to rural locations – think about the lifecycle and use automation to reduce operational costs.

A significant operational cost is the Network Operations Centre, or NOC. Automating this could deliver significant cost savings.
