Network automation for the future of fiber

As fiber broadband deployments intensify, connecting more people and more devices, greater demand is being placed on networks. Automation is vital for operators to regain control of productivity, innovation and agility, and gain a competitive edge.

Increase your efficiency with AI-driven network operations

Fewer errors, lower OPEX

Drive network monetization with better business insights

A better experience, higher profits

Rely on an open ecosystem for freedom of choice

Greater autonomy, faster innovation

Taking the next steps towards autonomous networks

The journey towards fully autonomous broadband networks is about to accelerate. It began with scripted and model-driven automation that provide a degree of assistance for routine operations. Today, we can enable far more powerful intent-based automation and use AI/ML to unlock new levels of operational efficiency, scale and agility.

Nokia network automation portfolio

Combining the industry-leading Altiplano Access Controller, Lightspan Access Nodes, and a suite of automation applications and developer tools, Nokia has developed a unique ecosystem for open, cloud-native network automation. 

Get a strategic advantage with Altiplano network automation software

Automation is key for operators to take better business decisions and deliver successfully on their digital transformation agenda.

At the heart of our solution is the Altiplano Access Controller. This cloud-native platform offers a complete suite of network management as well as SDN control functions to optimize, automate and troubleshoot a broadband network.

It provides operators a single view to manage fixed services, leveraging policy-driven operations, powerful intent life-cycle management and real-time automation across a multi-vendor, multi-technology network.

Network sharing and network slicing

Nokia has introduced a powerful and versatile way to create open access networks. Take a fresh look at your operating models and partition the access network into virtual network slices, commercialized through flexible Network-as-a-Service (NaaS) models.

#1 network domain controller for fixed access network automation

“Within a software-defined access network, a large part of the promised flexibility and efficiency gains depends on functional disaggregation and solution openness. Nokia continues to strengthen its offerings: the Altiplano Access Controller provides a high degree of scalability and advanced features, including fixed network slicing and proven interoperability support.”

SDN automation is crucial for the digital transformation

Geert Heyninck, VP Broadband Networks, explains how Nokia Altiplano gives operators the flexibility they need and how Nokia opens up their Altiplano platform with the industry's first app marketplace for network automation, giving operators the ability to customize and build unique SDN-enabled applications to automate, analyze and gain new revenues from their networks.

Creating value with network automation

Software-defined access networking is a powerful strategic advantage in the broadband market. This report from Analysys Mason explains the challenges and opportunities that network automation addresses and how it can be leveraged to streamline operations, lower costs, create revenues, and differentiate themselves in a highly competitive business environment.

Enable autonomous networks with AI/ML

AI/ML is becoming a vital tool for network operators to deal with the increasing number of options, technologies, parameters, and dimensions now needed to optimize a broadband network. AI-driven operations can compress the time it takes to evaluate network health, generate new insights from data, and solve network issues in a proactive way. As networks get redefined by software, Nokia is uniquely positioned to help you pursue the goal of fully autonomous data-driven networks.

Efficient data telemetry sets the foundation for network automation

Advanced automation relies on advanced telemetry to provide access to real-time data which is structured and ready for use by systems. This white paper details the principles of data governance and scalability behind modern push-based streaming telemetry, illustrated with real-world use cases.
