Radar: 2023 and the automation imperative 74384015

Expectations for the near-term evolution of mobile networks include many dynamics that will elevate the value of automation: 5G standalone, cloud adoption, increasingly demanding users, and new service rollouts.

Leveraging a global survey of mobile operators, this Radar captures current thinking on automation, what is needed to execute on its promise, and the misunderstandings that could be holding it back.
