The benefit…
With multiple generations of wireless and fixed technologies, evolving topographies, innovative deployment models and new ways to connect, modern telco networks are impossible to build, maintain and repair cost effectively without automation. ‘The network’ is a telco’s prize asset, essential to delivering exceptional connectivity experiences and supporting vital new products and business models.
We deliver…
The work of TM Forum’s members supports telcos and their partners to move to fully autonomous, intent-based network operations. Our ODA-aligned Autonomous Network target architecture provides a guide for telcos to follow. TM Forum’s Autonomous Networks Levels standard helps telcos track where they are on their journey.

Proof…
More than 50 of the world’s leading telcos and ecosystem partners have signed and committed to our Autonomous Networks Manifesto. Major telcos, including China Mobile, MTN Group, Orange and Telefonica have committed to achieving level 4 Autonomous Networks by 2025.

What next…
The work of our members to evolve ODA for Autonomous Networks will enable large-scale automation, bridging the gaps between core IT and main network architectures for the first time. Our Innovation Engine will drive this work forwards, focusing on intent-based operations, intelligent orchestration and self-healing domains. By 2030, we will have fully autonomous, self-healing, self-operating, self-securing networks. The more we automate, the more reliable and accurate the network becomes, the cheaper it is to run and the simpler it will be to launch new products.
