Operators view digital twins as key to supporting autonomous networks. However, in practice, most digital-twin deployments remain limited in scope and are weakly integrated into operational systems.

This report provides:

  • an examination of the structural and organisational challenges that restrict the effectiveness of current digital-twin initiatives
  • an assessment of the opportunities digital twins offer for autonomous networks
  • analysis of emerging solution architectures
  • an outline of strategic priorities for communications service providers seeking to operationalise digital twins as core components of automation platforms.
