AI-based NetCloud Assistant (ANA), is the latest innovative product developed by Ericsson, a technology company based in Stockholm and listed on the NASDAQ stock exchange. This leading-edge offering deploys generative AI to revolutionise how 5G networks are operated when they are applied to business settings. ANA is an expert in enterprises, and it simplifies the time-consuming processes related to managing Wireless WAN networks as it offers custom and valuable recommendations much quicker than it would take an individual.
ANA can be considered as distinctive from the regular chatbots that only give links to the existing material since it applies state of the art generative artificial intelligence and language comprehension techniques. This can help ANA not only to create new text and graphics but also to address a network problem according to a customer’s network environment by using data which from some technical documents. In this way, ANA reduces the amount of time managers and administrators spend on network-related undertakings to a minimum – tasks that earlier could take hours or even days now can be completed in a matter of mere seconds.
One of the defining characteristic of ANA is the participation in extensive language models that operate within the secure realm of Ericsson’s confidential structure. This implies that all the components of artificial intelligence are hosted inhouse to enhance security and privacy of users’ data. Therefore, there is no need to rely on third-party generative AI applications, which can potentially be a security threat.
ANA has numerous abilities, including extracting dense information and delivering it in small doses that are specific to the user, assisting with the configuration of WAN edge devices in large-scale environments, performing diagnostic work in an automated manner for the purpose of troubleshooting, and guiding a user through connectivity issues with a checklist of steps to be followed. These features significantly facilitate network management, improve reliability, and improve the user experience for corporate consumers. Further, ANA will in the future recommend the policies for the SD-WAN and WAN bonding to ensure that businesses can run their networks based on their operational needs. Furthermore, ANA is actively developing more precise custom graphs to represent more intricate information as it cannot be done right now with available dashboards.
Pankaj Malhotra who is currently the manager for Enterprise Networking and Security for Enterprise Wireless Solutions at Ericsson highlighted the importance of ANA. He mentioned that out of all the solutions, such as enterprise cellular networks and managed security services, offered by NetCloud from Ericsson, the company is easier to implement, to manage, and to address network issues. By investing heavily in more intelligent artificial intelligence technology, we are empowering even small information technology departments to address the complex issues of 5G efficiently. This leads to the enhancement of the network stability, security and the user satisfaction in an unrivaled efficiency.
The NetCloud Assistant was designed to work with Ericsson NetCloud AIOps dashboard which is a cog part of the Ericsson intelligent network management solution. Using an adaptive fault management system, this progressive dashboard log may identify any inefficiencies or breakdowns in functionality that are particular to customers’ structures, including delays and variabilities in data flow. This makes it easy for IT teams to work proactively in addressing potential issues on network performance while relying on ANA (Autonomous Network Architecture) features when necessary. By combining all these tools, it becomes possible to maintain optimum enterprise network functionality, as well as enhancing the overall user experience.
Through the enhancements made to ANA and the NetCloud AIOps dashboard, Ericsson has clearly affirmed its commitment to evolving artificial intelligence technology in enterprise networking. These two solutions will also be developed further to support the Private 5G solutions positioning Ericsson as strategically focused on enabling safe 5G deployment for businesses.
Visitors attending the convention scheduled for January 11th to the 13th can visit Ericsson’s seminar NRF 2025, booth # 3948 where ANA and the NetCloud AIOps dashboard will be demonstrated. These amazing accomplishments prove Ericsson’s goal of simplifying the enterprise 5G network management. To help the IT teams utilize the most advanced tools, we aim at improving their efficiency while guaranteeing their work’s highest possible quality.
Therefore, through the use of ANA, Ericsson continues to be on a high level, in terms of applying artificial intelligence to overcome challenges that come with modern network management. This is setting up of a higher bar and expectation on efficiency, protection, and customer-oriented innovations within enterprise networking.
