Agentic AI meets intent-based networking: A new era of network automation

Mobile operators are under pressure to automate more of their networks as they prepare for 6G. The industry is now turning to “agentic AI” – software agents that can interpret goals, make decisions and act on live network data – to move beyond basic scripting and rules-based automation.

Infovista has introduced an agentic AI framework aimed at intent-based networking, where operators express what they want the network to do and software agents work out how to do it. These agents can coordinate planning, optimization and assurance tasks across radio and core domains, using telemetry and analytics to adjust configurations in near real time. The goal is to cut manual engineering work, speed up troubleshooting and improve network performance as complexity increases.
