Autonomy is no longer a vision for the future, it’s being engineered today. At Network X Americas, Amdocs brings a unified perspective on how CSPs can move beyond isolated AI use cases to build truly autonomous networks powered by cognitive intelligence, agentic AI, and a digital workforce.
Amdocs at Network X Americas: Enabling the Cognitive Telco
As communications service providers accelerate toward AI native architectures, the next imperative is clear: transforming intelligence into action at scale. At Network X Americas 2026, Amdocs will showcase how CSPs can evolve from AI assisted operations to autonomous networks, where decisions are contextual, orchestrated, and continuously optimized across the network lifecycle.
Our presence at the event brings together strategic dialogue, executive engagement, and real world operational perspectives on what it takes to enable autonomy responsibly and sustainably.
Executive Roundtable: Designing the Autonomous NOC
Amdocs will host an invite only executive roundtable bringing senior network and operations leaders together to explore how the NOC must evolve in an AI native world.
This interactive discussion will focus on practical, experience driven insights, including:
- How you start using agentic AI for detection, prediction, diagnosis, and closed‑loop actions in live operations.
- What actions you should consider to boost data readiness across fragmented domains, tools, and vendors.
- When you can expect to see competitors shift operational processes to a fully dark NOC.
- Why an autonomy-ready network digital twin gives you the power to validate, supervise, and govern autonomous decisions.
- The session is designed for open dialogue, peer learning, and tangible takeaways rooted in real operational realities.
Panel Discussion: Mobile Networks’ Path to AI Native
Amdocs will also participate in the “Mobile Networks: Path to AI Native” track panel, where industry leaders, including from AT&T & TELUS, will discuss how AI native RAN and agentic operations are reshaping mobile networks.
The panel will examine:
- What differentiates AI native networks from traditional automation.
- How cognitive intelligence is embedded directly into network functions.
- The operational and organizational implications of agentic operations.
- Lessons learned from early deployments and live environments.
