NWDAF solution carries 5G network value firmly into Business Operations<\/h1>\n

Combined value of best-of-breed AI and data management solutions exceeds the scope of early NWDAF offerings<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.16″ custom_margin=”|auto|17px|auto||” custom_padding=”0px||6px|||” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.16″ global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.18.0″ link_font=”Panton_bold||||||||” link_text_color=”#11a7d9″ link_font_size=”18px” max_width=”80%” max_width_tablet=”” max_width_phone=”100%” max_width_last_edited=”on|phone” module_alignment=”center” custom_margin=”||30px|||” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” sticky_enabled=”0″]

Marlow, UK (Oct 14, 2022)<\/span><\/b> \u2013 <\/span>SAS and DigitalRoute, two leading AI and data management companies, have joined forces to deliver a 5G Network Data Analytics Function (NWDAF). The combined solution is an alternative to black-box or hard-coded solutions from network equipment providers (NEPs). It will enable Communication Service Providers (CSPs) to utilize NWDAF to go beyond solely addressing defined use cases that focus primarily on network operations and eliminate the network vendor silo trap.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Data-driven networks present a new opportunity for CSPs to bridge network services to business operations leading the industry into a new digital chapter for B2B services, with new revenue streams. However, modern networks have become so complex that it is hard to scale efficient operations, which dictates that they leverage <\/span>AI<\/span><\/a> and automation, and enable new monetization opportunities, such as Analytics-as-a-Service.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

CSP data holds value beyond network operations, meaning that <\/span>NWDAF can be part of the broader analytics and data democratization strategy<\/span><\/a>. Now, everybody in an organization can start working with data and AI tools comfortably, irrespective of their technical know-how. This can drive data-informed decisions across the business and help to build customer experiences powered by data.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span>\u201cIt\u2019s\u202fimportant that the NWDAF, in addition to aligning with 3GPP specifications, comes with a set of common and reusable platform services such as APIs and AI platform components that enable continuous lifecycle management of all AI models running within it. These components can be consumed by additional use cases, beyond those defined and standardized by 3GPP,\u201d\u202fexplained Adaora Okeleke, Principal Analyst Data, AI and Development Tools Cloud and Platform Services at Analysys Mason. \u201cSeveral 5G network monetization opportunities lie in the B2B domain and accessing them will require the NWDAF becoming a part of a CSP\u2019s broader advanced analytics ecosystem. It provides key data and intelligent insights that will enable discovery and management of new 5G enterprise use cases.\u201d\u202f<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u202f<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>\u201cSAS and DigitalRoute are frontrunners and experts in our respective areas, with extensive experience in building revenue and operational solutions for telecoms that now include NWDAF and automated operations,\u201d said Sasa Crnojevic, Network AI & Machine Learning Business Principal, at SAS. \u201cWe understand the value and difference a flexible, vendor-agnostic, and easily configured low code \/ no code solution provides to the bottom line and how it supports democratization of data and AI across the enterprise.\u201d\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span>The NWDAF architecture supports this approach because of two major components, data management and analytics services, which when disaggregated, mean the NWDAF can coexist with a company’s end-to-end data analytics architecture. Therefore, CSPs can benefit in many ways, including:<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
