Orchestration Center

AI-driven service design and orchestration for multi-vendor telecom networks

What is Nokia Orchestration Center?

Nokia Orchestration Center is a cloud-native platform for end-to-end service orchestration, fulfillment, provisioning, activation and order management. 

Service orchestration enables telecommunication providers to automate the design, delivery and lifecycle management of services across multi-vendor, multi-technology networks.

Orchestration Center combines openness and flexibility with reliable AI-driven and intent-based orchestration capabilities to improve operational efficiency and enable monetization in autonomous networks

Telcos around the world rely on our award-winning Orchestration Center to design complex services in minutes instead of days, reduce time-to-market by 50% or more and activate services up to 500x faster than before.

> 99%

First time right service delivery (stc, Saudi Arabia and neutral host, Oceania)

40%

Reduction in call center, sales and operational costs for fixed services (European telco) 

What are key features of Orchestration Center?

Nokia Orchestration Center enables telecom providers to design and deploy services faster, more efficiently and more accurately than ever before. Here are some of the key features and benefits:

AI-driven

AI agents and assistants accelerate service design and delivery while reducing operational complexity. For example, AI is used to generate workflows and support intent negotiation and resolution.

Intent-based

Intent-based orchestration translates the business needs of customers into service and network requirements. Nokia has been leading the industry with intent capabilities showcased in several TM Forum Catalyst demo projects, most recently Autonomy accelerated: Connected intelligence for reliable agentic operations - Phase III

Open

Orchestration Center aligns with the TM Forum ODA architecture and supports relevant TM Forum open APIs. In addition, an extensive library of standards-based and proprietary interfaces reduces integration complexity and cost.

Flexible

Orchestration Center offers SDKs and a no-code/low-code approach, which empowers telcos to rapidly customize and create new orchestration use cases without extensive development.

Model-driven

A model-driven framework enables reusable, service-agnostic workflows that simplify delivery and accelerate time to market.

Single source of truth

Orchestration Center leverages Nokia Unified Inventory as the single source of truth, which provides near-real-time visibility of services and assets, reducing order fallout and enabling AI-driven orchestration.

Closed-loop

Closing the loop between assurance and orchestration capabilities enables real-time monitoring of SLA compliance and fast, automated issue detection and resolution.

Cloud agnostic

Orchestration Center is designed to run on any cloud and has been deployed by customers in private, public and hybrid cloud environments. This reduces deployment complexity and ongoing operational expenditures.

Scalable

While Orchestration Center provides value for networks of any size, it has been proven in some of the largest and most complex networks, supporting millions of transactions per hour.

Which use case categories does Orchestration Center support?

Nokia Orchestration Center provides out-of-the-box support for a broad range of use cases covering cross-domain orchestration, intra-domain orchestration, service fulfillment, provisioning & activation, service order management and more.

Cross-domain services

Service delivery across multiple network domains often suffers from delays, hand-off issues and inconsistent outcomes. Orchestration Center simplifies this with end-to-end workflows across domains resulting in higher accuracy and speed.

Edge automation

Managing distributed edge resources is complex. Orchestration Center automates deployment and lifecycle management to support efficient delivery of edge and AI-driven services including AI inference and AI grid orchestration.

Mobile access services

Orchestration Center streamlines activation of mobile access services so telecom providers can launch and modify mobile access services faster and with greater consistency.

Service order management

Orchestration Center improves fulfillment speed, accuracy and visibility for both business and consumer services. The result is less fallout, shorter lead times and improved customer satisfaction.

Transport orchestration

Orchestrating overlay and underlay services like SDWAN, IP/MPLS or optical transport typically requires significant effort and domain expertise. Orchestration Center does this faster and with higher operational efficiency.

5G network slicing

Creating 5G network slices manually is a highly time-consuming and error-prone process. Orchestration Center supports CSMF, NSMF and NSSMF functions so our customers can do this in minutes instead of days.
