LG Uplus autonomous network with AI agents
LG Uplus is moving from rule-based automation to closed-loop autonomy, using AI agents and digital twins to accelerate toward a fully autonomous network by 2028. Its core platform, the AI Orchestration Nexus (AION), is already automating repetitive operations and has contributed to a reported 70% reduction in customer complaints about network quality—an early signal that the approach is translating into measurable outcomes. The company plans to showcase these capabilities at MWC Barcelona 2026, underscoring growing operator interest in operational AI as 5G matures and traffic patterns become more volatile.

LG Uplus & AWS agentic AI speeds cloud-native network deployment

LG Uplus & AWS agentic AI speeds cloud-native network deployment
LG Uplus is working with AWS on agentic AI that automates installation of cloud‑native network software, with early claims of up to 80% faster turn‑ups versus manual methods. LG Uplus and AWS partnered to develop an AI-driven approach that installs complex network software stacks without human intervention. The system uses Amazon Bedrock alongside AWS’s Strands-Agents SDK to orchestrate multiple cooperating AI agents. These agents are pre-trained on network design and implementation documents so they can execute the full workflow - provisioning cloud infrastructure, collecting device and network parameters, generating configurations, performing installation, and troubleshooting.
