Conversation highlights:
- Amdocs just launched their Cognitive RAN platform with O-RAN standards for both traditional & Open RAN
- The platform is already field-proven with UK’s ARIANE and has TIP certification for:
- ML-powered energy-saving rApp that reduces power to underused cells
- MIMO optimization that adjusts beam patterns based on user locations
- Traffic steering for better network management
- Cell outage protection for continuous service
- Amdocs is partnering with rApps vendors - AirHop, Zincworks and Rimedo labs.
- Digital Twin Simulation – planning and optimizing networks in a nVidia aerial platform
What’s next?
As the future of RAN rapidly evolves, Amdocs is working on inferencing agentic RAN that will deliver end-to-end network visibility and faster root cause analysis for operators.
