The role of network planning in autonomous networks

This report argues that integrated planning solutions help operators optimise network expansion and capex. By simulating deployments, operators can reduce risks, improve ROI and advance towards autonomous network management. This will in turn support their financial sustainability, despite near-flat revenue growth.

This report provides:

• an overview of challenges that operators face when deploying new networks
• an analysis of current strategies that can maximise capex ROI
• an outline of recommendations for operators and vendors to enable more efficient network planning and expansion.
