Engineering Autonomous Networks
Accelerate transformation across RAN, core, transport and cloud with zero-touch automation
Agentic AI for Smarter, Zero-Touch Networks
Powering predictive intelligence and autonomous decision-making across complex multi-domain environments
Reimagining Network Operations with Self-learning, Intent-driven Automation
Modern networks require more than speed and scale. They demand intelligence, agility and autonomy. HCLTech’s autonomous network solutions empower telecom operators to move beyond reactive, manually managed environments into dynamic, AI-based, self-healing networks. Built on a foundation of intent-driven orchestration, closed-loop automation and real-time, cross-domain intelligence, our solutions are aligned with TM Forum’s automation maturity model.
We bring zero-touch operations and predictive intelligence to every layer of the network. Agentic AI powers real-time detection, root-cause analysis and proactive optimization, freeing your teams to focus on business outcomes. Leveraging open APIs/platforms, deep domain expertise and a robust ecosystem of partners, we deliver end-to-end network assurance and optimization, enabling self-organizing networks that continuously learn, adapt and respond to changing conditions in real time.
Core capabilities:
- Self-learning intelligence
- AI-based network framework
- AI/ML-based orchestration intent-generation
- Agentic AI “Network Assistants”
- Closed-loop assurance
- Cross-domain insight correlation
