The platform focuses on transparency, security and control. The AI agents operate within operator-defined policies and access limits, ensuring automated decisions remain safe and aligned with network requirements. It supports communication with external AI systems using protocols such as Model Context Protocol, improving coordination across multi-vendor and multi-domain networks.
The first major use of this platform is an AI-driven Troubleshooting Agent, which helps operators detect network issues faster, reduce unnecessary alerts and resolve problems more efficiently. It enhances service reliability, lowers operational costs and reduces service disruptions for users. This has strengthened the company’s position in next-generation telecom infrastructure and is likely to support its long-term growth.
