Intelligent RAN for Smart and Adaptive Connectivity

Intelligent RAN is transforming radio networks from manually configured infrastructure into adaptive systems that use AI to optimize traffic, interference and demand in real time, improving efficiency, reliability and operational agility.

Its value is both technical and economic, with early gains emerging in energy efficiency, network performance and operating costs. In parallel, open and software-defined architectures are expanding vendor choice while reshaping how future networks are designed and managed.

For markets scaling connectivity affordably, Intelligent RAN offers a pathway to more sustainable, future-ready networks. As the industry prepares for 6G, this session explores where Intelligent RAN is delivering value today and how open, AI-native design will shape the next generation of radio networks.

The Path to Zero-Touch Networks

Telecom networks are moving from rule-based automation towards systems that can configure, optimise and heal themselves with limited human intervention. AI-driven closed loops are already improving fault management, energy efficiency and service assurance in selected network domains.

Most operators, however, remain some distance from end-to-end autonomy. Progress is constrained by fragmented data, multi-vendor integration, legacy systems and the need for greater trust in machine-led decisions.

As agentic AI enables networks to reason and act with greater independence, accountability and human oversight become critical. This session examines where network autonomy is delivering value and what is required to move from isolated automation towards responsible self-management.
