The path to autonomous intelligent networks

Telecommunications service providers must transition toward autonomous intelligent networks to manage the operational complexity of 5G environments and remain competitive. The article outlines a three-layer architecture supported by AI that enables organizations to progress from partial automation (Level 2) toward high automation (Level 4) through closed-loop cycles of awareness, analysis, decision, and execution. Red Hat’s portfolio of AI, automation, and cloud infrastructure products provides the foundation for implementing practical agentic AI and real-world network optimization use cases.
