“Together with Ericsson we share the same vision of enabling faster, simpler and cost-efficient networks through automation and are delighted today to be unveiling our rApp program to help operators take an important stride towards streamlining, automating and integrating planning, deployment and operations of their 5G-era networks across the full network lifecycle.” End-to-end automation will be critical to solving this because every task and action taken in the 5G network has many ramifications,” said Muhannad Alabweh, VP Solutions Engineering, Infovista. “The world of 5G Standalone is cloud-native, multi-vendor and multi-tech, making the alignment of network investments with business objectives a real headache for operators. Infovista is already working on future micro-services rApps which will cover service / experience assurance, optimization, fault management, performance management and configuration management domains. The combination of AI and automation drastically improves network planning productivity to accelerate 5G rollouts. The first Planet-based NDO rApp from Infovista will allow an operator to automate network planning related activities such coverage, throughput analysis, RAN optimization and, in turn, can enable capabilities such as auto-commissioning of sites and automation of other workflows which needs planning information and/or algorithms. Starting with Infovista Planet™, the world’s first AI-powered planning solution to design 4G and 5G radio networks across the world, the Infovista rApp program will integrate cloud-native technology and algorithms and leverage 30+ years of expertise in radio planning and optimization to support multi-vendor and multi-technology 5G networks by design. The platform delivers service management and orchestration functionalities in line with Open RAN principles, taking automation forward with support for diverse vendors and multiple radio access network technologies. The platform is an open service management and orchestration product that will help communications service providers optimize network performance, enable operational efficiency and deliver enhanced customer experience. Paris, France – November 16th, 2021 – Infovista, the global leader in Network Lifecycle Automation (NLA), today announced the launch of its rApp program to support the automation of Network Design and Optimization (NDO) as part of its ongoing integration of cloud-native microservices into the Ericsson Intelligent Automation Platform which was unveiled Tuesday. First integration will be Infovista Planet as cloud-native, Open RAN-compliant Network Design and Optimization microservices to automate planning and optimization of multi-vendor and multi-technology networks
