Monetizing federated connectivity for automotive OEMs

Monetizing federated connectivity for automotive OEMs

This Catalyst addresses the challenge of integrating advanced connectivity for industries like Automotive OEMs, where fragmented network services and non-standardized interfaces hinder innovation. By collaborating with Mobile Network Operators (MNOs) and Technology Vendors, Global System Integrators (GSIs) leverage the GSMA Open Gateway API model, including TM Forum APIs, exposing network services through standardized APIs to enable seamless data exchange and optimized connectivity. The business value lies in the monetization of Network APIs via a centralized portal that gives Automotive OEMs full visibility into network deployment options. This portal, managed by the MNO as a Federation Broker, allows OEMs to access the best Edge/MEC resources across networks, reducing deployment costs and accelerating the time-to-market for new vehicle applications. The Federation concept ensures efficient network handover across MNOs, enhancing service continuity and performance, while standardized APIs streamline solution reuse across various contexts, further lowering costs and boosting efficiency. By integrating TM Forum APIs and CAMARA for northbound interfaces and East-West Boundary Interfaces (E/W-BI) for cross-operator coordination, this solution establishes a robust ecosystem that supports new services with minimal adaptation. This model significantly reduces operational complexity for Automotive OEMs, increases energy efficiency, and ultimately enhances the user experience through low-latency, high-availability services.

Digital Twin enhanced decision intelligence for intelligent marketing

Digital Twin enhanced decision intelligence for intelligent marketing

In the competitive telecom industry, delivering personalized and effective marketing is crucial. Our project leverages a Large User Model (LUM) to enhance decision intelligence and drive smarter marketing. By integrating O-domain, B-domain, and third-party data, we create a comprehensive customer view, enabling highly targeted and personalized solutions. Our solution uses advanced AI algorithms to analyze customer behavior, preferences, and needs in real-time, automating complex workflows. For example, by combining OSS, BSS, and social media data, we identified high-value 4G users ready for 5G upgrades, where adding a specialized voice package for couriers significantly increased 5G adoption. Additionally, our solution using graph analysis and machine learning, boosted marketing conversion rates by 35% in package push scenarios. The business value is clear: enhanced operational efficiency, improved customer retention, and revenue growth through more effective campaigns. By combining multi-domain data, intelligent marketing, and decision intelligence, we help CSPs stay ahead in a fast-evolving market. Effective marketing management is a critical business challenge for Communication Service Providers (CSPs). Traditional methods often rely on manual processes and limited data sources, leading to suboptimal customer experiences and missed business opportunities. By addressing this challenge, CSPs can achieve significant improvements in customer retention, operational efficiency, and revenue growth. According to Gartner, CSPs that implement advanced marketing intelligence and automation solutions see a 20% increase in customer retention rates and a 15% improvement in operational efficiency. Leading CSP, faced significant challenges in managing customer journeys due to the complexity of their operations and the vast amount of data generated daily. They needed a solution that could provide real-time insights, automate marketing processes, and personalize customer interactions. By implementing our LLM solution, CSP was able to: 1. Improve Customer Retention: The LLM-driven model identified high-risk churn customers and provided targeted interventions, resulting in an increase in retention rates. 2. Enhance Operational Efficiency: Automated workflows and real-time event detection reduced the time required for marketing activity planning from 2 days to 2 hours, achieving a 20x improvement in efficiency. 3. Increase Revenue Growth: Personalized marketing campaigns and optimized customer experiences led to a increase in revenue. “Digital transformation is about more than just automating operations; it’s about empowering our teams and delivering greater value to our customers. Bridging the gap between the business and service layers allows us to complete the closed-loop process like marketing, ensuring business intents directly drive outcomes across the entire value chain. This is the next frontier for CSPs.” Quoted by China Unicom

AI-driven network automation for traffic and service resilience - Phase II

AI-driven network automation for traffic and service resilience - Phase II

Undersea cable incidents frequently disrupt global telecommunications, with a recent major cut between Asia and Europe significantly impacting network quality and customer experience. Network engineers often navigate diverse routing paths, including IX, Peering, and Transit services, but improper handling can exacerbate issues. Even after optimal rerouting, persistent service degradation, particularly at the application layer makes problem identification challenging. Manual performance analysis across platforms is labor-intensive and inefficient. AI in the network operations space offers a transformative solution. The AI continuously learns traffic behaviors, optimizes resource allocation, and prioritizes traffic based on Quality of Service (QoS) metrics to achieve better performance & resilience. GenAI is also introduced in the grand design, enabling intent-based interactions with the network. AI-driven innovations ensure consistent service quality, optimised operational costs, stronger customer trust, and more advanced automated network management. This approach addresses evolving telecommunications challenges, ensuring robust and reliable service delivery. Our catalyst explores AI-driven solutions to advance towards higher level of autonomous networks (AN Level-4/5). In the previous phase, it demonstrated three aspects: intent input via chatbot and interpreter, service decomposition and instantiation, service-to-resource management. The previous phase (Stage 1) focused on developing a reference architecture and realisation of intent-based Connectivity-as-a-Service (CaaS) orchestration. Stage 2, will focus on the full implementation of the design to achieve the endgame of AI-driven network operations for enhanced efficiency and automation.
