In partnership with Northeastern University, VIAVI is also using AI for city-scale network digital twins
Operators, generally, are currently (and have been for some time) going through a number of significant transformations, chief among them the shift to cloud-native 5G Standalone and the disaggregation of...
If you’ve recently attended or watched or read about any tech industry conferences, you’ve noticed the characterization of artificial intelligence (AI), both generative AI (gen AI) and more classical AI, as a sort of panacea for business problems regardless of industry. Telecom is no...
Tupl taking on engineering operations automation as network complexity spikes
Founded in 2014, Tupl—based on the mathematics term “tuple” meaning a type of ordered list—has focused on AI-enabled operations automation for telecommunications network operators. In conversation with RCR Wireless News, CEO Petri Hautakangas made the...
AWS, IBM, McKinsey and Nokia on curating an LLM for domain-specific applications; bigger isn’t necessarily better and, at some point, you have to dive in
If you’ve used consumer-facing generative artificial intelligence (gen AI) tools like OpenAI’s ChatGPT, Google’s Gemini or Microsoft’s Copilot, chances are...
At the Mobile World Congress (MWC) this year, virtually all industry players exhibiting at the show centered their messaging around Artificial Intelligence (AI), presenting modular Proofs of Concept (PoCs) and demonstrating how new AI applications can address specific pain points in isolation, including the...
