"My job was architecting and writing programs that automated the network, connecting the bank's mainframe to terminals," Charles told On Call. He was very good at that job and built a reputation as a go-to resource for anything to do with the bank's networks. Which is why one day the bank's help desk called and asked for Charles because a user claimed to have a problem that had utterly confounded both first and second level support.

Giving network owners the capabilities to detect disruptions earlier and resolve incidents quicker on the first attempt is now business critical given the increasing complexity of infrastructures. To address these aims, Nokia has introduced software tools and AI-models that the company claims will "significantly" improve operational efficiencies and enhance network reliability. Nokia said that operators deploying fibre-to-the-home (FTTH) networks face limited visibility into the passive outside plant, resulting in inventory errors, costly repeat truck rolls, cost overruns and service delays.

Nokia's Autonomous Network Fabric combines AI and automation, creating a comprehensive intelligence layer that enhances network performance and operational efficiency.
