en.Wedoany.com Reported - stc Group has partnered with Huawei to launch an intelligent operations and maintenance solution based on the 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) standards, supporting the evolution of the operator's core network to Autonomous Network Level 4 (AN L4). Built on the 3GPP Management Data Analytics Function (MDAF) standard, this solution aims to enhance the automation, scalability, and operational efficiency of stc Group's core network infrastructure.
As 5G and 5.5G services and digital applications expand, the scale and complexity of telecommunications networks continue to grow. Over the past five years, stc Group's core network elements have increased by 2.5 times, service categories have grown by 75%, and the underlying technology stack has doubled in size, driving an urgent need for more advanced, data-driven operational capabilities.
To address this growing complexity, stc Group has launched the ICNMaster intelligent operations orchestration platform based on the MDAF standard. This platform supports real-time topology visualization, cross-domain data correlation, anomaly detection, and closed-loop automation, helping operations teams shift from reactive troubleshooting to a more proactive and predictive network management model. Within the ICNMaster platform, the FaultSpirit module enables faster alarm diagnosis and complaint resolution through an updated technical knowledge base and advanced reasoning capabilities. This module helps operations teams identify and resolve alarm-related faults, as well as issues affecting signaling and data transmission processes, reducing fault resolution time to minutes. The solution also includes the unified knowledge platform NOCMate, which integrates technical standards, vendor documentation, and institutional expertise into an accessible system. This enables operations teams to obtain accurate technical information more quickly, supports more agile decision-making, and helps shorten the onboarding time for new engineers.
The collaboration between stc Group and Huawei aligns with TM Forum standards and global industry practices, supporting the group's ongoing evolution toward more autonomous network operations. This partnership also reinforces stc Group's commitment to operational excellence and digital infrastructure development, supporting Saudi Arabia's robust network growth and service diversification.
