Step 3
Blue Planet 5G Automation uses advanced analytics, Artificial Intelligence (AI), and Machine Learning (ML) to dynamically control the performance of each slice, scaling slice resources up or down as required and thereby enabling the creation of a self-optimizing 5G network with zero-touch capabilities. A critical part of the Blue Planet 5G Automation Solution is Dynamic Planning, which allows operators to build out 5G-ready networks easily and quickly, enabling a comprehensive view of all network resources, clear visualization of multi-network domains, simplified business operations, and rapid access to network capacity and utilization metrics.
