Automation

AI promises major gains for telecom operators, but most initiatives stall due to outdated, fragmented inventory systems. Discover why unified, service-aware inventory is the missing link for successful AI in telecomโ€”and how operators can build a smarter, impact-ready foundation for automation with VC4's Service2Create (S2C) platform.
As networks grow more complex, traditional management models fall short. This article explores how AIOps (Artificial Intelligence for IT Operations) enables autonomous networks that self-configure, self-optimize, and self-heal. Learn how service providers can use AIOps frameworks to achieve predictive maintenance, dynamic resource management, enhanced customer experiences, and operational scalability to thrive in the era of 5G, IoT, and beyond.
The integration of tariffs and the EU AI Act creates a challenging environment for the advancement of AI and automation. Tariffs, by increasing the cost of essential hardware components, and the EU AI Act, by increasing compliance costs, can significantly raise the barrier to entry for new AI and automation ventures. European companies developing these technologies may face a double disadvantage: higher input costs due to tariffs and higher compliance costs due to the AI Act, making them less competitive globally. This combined pressure could discourage investment in AI and automation within the EU, hindering innovation and slowing adoption rates. The resulting slower adoption could limit the availability of crucial real-world data for training and improving AI algorithms, further impacting progress.
Low-code platforms like VC4’s Service2Create (S2C) are transforming telecom operations by accelerating service delivery, reducing manual tasks, and simplifying integration with legacy systems. Discover how this technology drives digital transformation, improves efficiency, and future-proofs telecom networks.
