Connected Britain 2026: Accelerating the Journey to Autonomous Networks

From Network Engineering to Autonomous Operations

As service providers expand connectivity, modernize infrastructure, and navigate increasingly complex networks, the way networks are planned, built, and operated must evolve.

By combining deep network expertise, proven customer workflows, agentic automation accelerators, and end-to-end services, Amdocs helps operators reduce OPEX, accelerate deployment, improve network performance, and modernize the way they plan, build, and run their networks.

Meet our team at Connected Britain to discover how Amdocs can help accelerate autonomous network transformation—from engineering and rollout to operations—with the expertise, automation, and accountability to deliver real-world impact.

Panel Discussion: Making consolidation a reality: integration and value creation

Network consolidation creates an opportunity to simplify infrastructure and improve efficiency—but integrating legacy networks while maintaining service quality and preparing for future technologies presents significant challenges.

Lee Smelt, VP Networks EMEA, Amdocs, will join industry leaders to discuss how operators can turn network consolidation into long-term operational and technology value.

The discussion will explore:

• The primary technical hurdles when integrating legacy networks into a unified, scalable infrastructure
• How operators can unify networks without disrupting services or degrading customer experience
• How network standardization following consolidation can improve operational efficiency and support future technology evolution
