FutureNet Middle East & Africa drives the agenda around Network Automation and AI, a key foundational pillar for the next wave of growth.

NETWORK AUTOMATION AND AI
Today, cloud and IoT are causing service providers to handle data on an unprecedented scale which is putting enormous pressure on the network. AI offers a real opportunity to address these challenges to provide intelligent network operations and maintenance and will lead to self-healing and self-optimising networks as well as intelligent decision making and reduce delays and errors. Automation is imperative if service providers are going to survive and remain competitive in an ever-increasing connected world.
Service providers are working with a multitude of vendors to address their key challenges around digital transformation and automation. The new dynamic and disruptive ecosystem is providing operators with new opportunities and innovative solutions but also presents a number of key challenges around integration and functionality. The industry is now recognising the potential of changing the network architecture through the incorporation of telco cloud technologies, general-purpose hardware and programmable network functions, powered by AI and intelligent network automation.

LFN is proud to partner with Project Sylva to co-sponsor Cloud Native Telco Day, happening 23 March in Amsterdam (co-located with KubeCon+CloudNativeCon EU)!
Communication and Digital Service providers are rapidly adopting the latest CNCF technologies, transforming their infrastructure to become more agile to address end user demands with no compromise on security. AI and Agentic AI systems are not only blurring the lines between the network and the Cloud, but also introducing intelligent automation that enables autonomous network operations and self-optimizing infrastructure. This creates new synergy opportunities between the CNCF ecosystem, AI-driven fields, and industry verticals. CNCF is at the heart of cloud native open source enabling technologies that will realize the AI driven Telco and realise digital experiences of the future. The Cloud Native Telco Day brings together the networking and cloud native open source communities, where the Telco industry collaborates with the CNCF community to share lessons learned and new concepts applicable across both worlds.
Don’t miss the LFN and Sylva booth, where you can chat with community members and gab some swag!
