Autonomous networks, as defined by the TM Forum (TMF), are intelligent, self-managing systems capable of dynamically optimizing and adapting with minimal human intervention. These networks leverage advanced technologies—including artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning (ML), analytics, and intent-based orchestration—to respond to real-time changes in network conditions. The TMF's model outlines six levels of autonomy, ranging from fully manual (Level 0) to fully autonomous operation (Level 5). This interview explores the current state of autonomous networks, the industry’s progress toward Level 4, and the technical, operational, and organizational steps required to achieve higher levels of autonomy. By embracing this evolution, service providers can significantly enhance operational efficiency and network agility, and respond more rapidly to evolving customer and business demands.
