Beyond the Closed Loop: Architecting the Era of Agentic AI in Production Networks

When we look back at the last decade of network transformation, the telecom industry has plenty to celebrate. We have made significant progress shifting from monolithic hardware appliances toward disaggregated, cloud-native software. Along the way, we championed closed-loop automation, proving that data-driven loops could monitor infrastructure and trigger automated workflows to handle massive volumes of faults without human intervention. But as networks grow increasingly hyper-distributed,…
