"Operators and vendors are increasingly referring to digital twins as foundational enablers of autonomous networks (ANs). However, many operators struggle to align them with concrete AN objectives."
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 operators seeking to operationalise digital twins as core components of automation platforms.
