Briefing

  • Network AI Algorithms – Telecommunications firm Vodafone, in partnership with Huawei and Ericsson, built AI algorithms to manage network traffic, halving routine network management time
  • How It Works – Algorithms analyze signal levels on different frequencies to determine best antenna to connect users based on their traffic load, reducing connection time, with algorithms capable of improving accuracy through data processing and pattern recognition
  • Exponential Data Growth – Algorithms built in anticipation of immense data traffic load brought about by Internet-of-Things, which can be managed more efficiently by AI-enabled predictive network that automatically detects problems
  • Next Steps – Vodafone to unveil algorithms commercially in Spain in 2018 by embedding them in base stations
