Telefónica extends AI automation, expands enterprise edge

Telefónica is pushing further into AI-led network automation and enterprise edge services ahead of MWC. The operator now runs 12 ‘level 4’ autonomous network use cases across Spain, Germany and Brazil, and says it wants this level of autonomy across all operations by 2030. It has also partnered with Mavenir to apply AI in its core network.

Alongside automation, Telefónica has expanded its 5G and fibre-based edge computing services on a nationwide basis, aiming these at enterprise customers that need low-latency connectivity and local data processing.
