Singapore operator M1 has signed an MoU with Ericsson to boost the capacity and performance of its IP and microwave networks using the AI-powered Ericsson Transport Automation Controller. There companies claim this is the world’s first live network deployment for combined IP and microwave networks supporting advanced AI and machine learning capabilities. The operator will use the controller to carry out a proof of concept for IP and microwave use cases on its network.
M1 has built an extensive transport network with Ericsson Router 6000 IP nodes and links and a combination of fibre and Mini-Link microwave connections that can support the nationwide 5G SA network. To achieve better and quicker insights of its 5G network performance for faster connectivity and reduced lag time, M1 chose the controller to do a proof of concept for both IP and microwave use cases by the last quarter of 2024. By doing so, the two will add real-time observability and SDN automation capabilities to the transport network.
Ericsson Transport Automation Controller is an intelligent, cloud-native transport controller that uses AI/ML to analyse and automate microwave, IP and optical networks. It instantly pinpoints degradations, capacity utilisation, and synchronisation issues and provides insights on how to optimise the overall network performance while reducing human errors and troubleshooting time.
