OUR TAKE This AI-driven innovation redefines the standard of network performance, ensuring robust and consistent service for customers even during peak usage. –Zora Lin, BTW reporter Nokia has deployed its AI AD hoc network solution MantaRay Cognitive SON in the stc Group’s commercial network. Nokia says MantaRay SON is an optimisation and automation platform that uses self-configuring modules to improve network performance and efficiency.
Evidence
Pending intelligence enrichment.
Analysis
Mikko Lavanti, Head of Nokia MEA, says: “Our MantaRay Cognitive SON solution, equipped with sophisticated AI algorithms, represents a giant leap forward in autonomous network operations and is the first deployment of the solution by the stc Group worldwide. Together with stc, we will continue to explore new use cases for Cognitive SON to further improve efficiency.” When Cognitive SON implements during periods of high traffic, it handles more than 10,000 operations, resulting in an approximately 30% increase in load unit utilisation and an average 10% increase in user throughput. The solution can be customised and deployed to optimise specific software applications and address unique operational challenges. Despite a 40 percent increase in traffic during this period, stc’s network maintains stable connectivity, and autonomous RAN operations also reduce manual operations and improve network quality. “Stc and Nokia are ushering in a new era in which AI will revolutionise the telecommunications industry.” Hatem Al Faraj, chief technology officer at stc Group, says.
