During a GSMA panel at #MWC24, Mavenir’s Brandon Larson, SVP of Cloud, AI & IMS, discussed the significant shift among operators towards autonomous networks. Larson mentioned that many operators in the market have made substantial progress with automation, deploying technologies such as Kubernetes, data optimization models, workflow engines, and various cloud-native technologies. With AI, operations are taken to a different level, surpassing what an operations person can handle.

In this Sparring Partners webinar, Mavenir’s Brandon Larson, SVP, GM, Cloud, AI & IMS and Monica Paolini, Principal, Senza Fili, discuss why future networks must be open and autonomous. With network complexity increasing in 5G and 6G, they explore how Cloud-Native Automation and Artificial Intelligence (AI)/Machine Learning (ML) can be applied to Telco operations to make networks more autonomous. In addition to the technology, they also discuss the skillsets and cultural changes needed to make this vision a reality and the importance of collaboration in an open ecosystem.

Echoing the drumbeat on the importance of public cloud, Mavenir’s Brandon Larson and Chris McKenna of AWS share their thoughts on the increasing demand for public cloud. The Gran Fira stage at Mobile World Congress, 2022 was the perfect place to showcase how there is no one-size-fits-all approach to a cloud journey and achieving the right blend of scale and speed is key. The two companies are collaborating to help CSPs overcome the challenges and maximize the value of public cloud.

Mavenir’s Brandon Larson, SVP & GM – Multimedia Business, catches up with Justin Springham from Mobile World Live to discuss the ingredients for success available to service providers, as they look to VoNR and 5G networks.
