Nokia today said its new digital services powered by artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning will cut the time and effort of network maintenance. Telecom network engineers will have the network information and skills to meet the demands of complex 5G networks.
Deepak Harie, VP, Head of Technical Support Services at Nokia said the latest digital services allow telecom engineers to maintain networks wherever they are while enabling service providers to remain focused on a superior end user experience.

The number of 5G connections is expected to reach 619 million globally by the end of 2021.

Nokia Digital Assistant advanced features include live network information, on top of 19 data sources introduced last year, which allows engineers to quickly access technical information and see what is happening in the networks.

AI based work-flow optimization simplifies software maintenance and reduces resolution time. Instant spare availability uses automation across the supply chain to speed up hardware maintenance and replacements.

Nokia Learn leverages mobile learning methodology to provide engineers with interactive product and technology trainings and a learning environment that seamlessly integrates in their flow of work.

These advanced capabilities allow network maintenance teams to access all the network intelligence they need, in the way they need it, wherever they are. While driving new efficiencies and reducing the time and effort required to keep those networks up and running.
