en.Wedoany.com Reported - Ericsson has launched a suite of solutions aimed at helping communications service providers plan their autonomous network vision through their Operations Support Systems (OSS) and Business Support Systems (BSS).

Named the OSS/BSS Business Value Pathways, the suite consists of four "redesigned, integrated, and validated operations and solutions" combinations. Its foundation is a foundational pathway for modernizing and optimizing data management to build a trusted knowledge plane.

Ericsson also offers a zero-touch go-to-market pathway, which spans the entire product lifecycle supported by artificial intelligence and automation technologies. Additionally, an agentic AI service product aims to help operations teams predict, diagnose, and resolve user-impacting issues faster through AI-driven analytics, streaming data, and domain-focused intelligence. The pathway suite also includes more AI-driven intelligent IT operations, where agents are used to unify and simplify the operations interface for human engineers.

Commenting on the announcement, Mats Karlsson, Head of Business and OSS Solutions, stated that autonomous network transformation must now proceed at speed and scale, but obstacles and complexity pose challenges. The new telecom-specific pathways will help communications service providers (CSPs) re-plan their network and IT evolution, focusing on achieving specific outcomes while accelerating the creation and monetization of new services and improving overall efficiency. He emphasized that Ericsson's OSS/BSS portfolio continues to evolve and is a key tool in helping CSPs fulfill their autonomous network commitments and achieve the ultimate goal of selling, delivering, and charging for services.

The launch of these pathways follows Ericsson's recent autonomous network deals with operators such as Telstra, MasOrange, and Japan's KDDI, and comes after competitor Nokia announced its autonomous network efforts in collaboration with hyperscaler Amazon Web Services (AWS). The two companies recently reached an agreement in what analysts call a "milestone" collaboration for autonomous networks, with Ericsson becoming a member of Nokia's Service Management and Orchestration (SMO) market. Meanwhile, Nokia joined Ericsson's rApp Ecosystem, which is built around the Ericsson Intelligent Automation Platform (EIAP). Both claim to be jointly committed to advancing autonomous networks, with a particular focus on the R1 interface, through which rApps interact with SMO to help integrate AI and automation into mobile networks, achieving the highly anticipated Level 4 (L4) autonomy.
