The drive for further efficiencies in the network continues and the focus now is firmly on the role that increased automation will play. Advancements in AI and ML are creating new opportunities for enhanced and deeper levels of network automation. But further developments are still needed, such as a unified approach to data collection and management along with improvements in energy efficiency. Meanwhile, adoption of disaggregation and open networking risks adding complexity. However, successful automation can lead to a more productive development environment, which will leverage cost savings into new digital service revenue generation.
