Transforming Network Operations: Amdocs Unveils Cognitive RAN Automation Platform and rApp Ecosystem at MWC 2025
Amdocs' vendor-neutral platform helps service providers cut costs and enhance performance with AI-driven technology
JERSEY CITY, NJ / ACCESS Newswire / February 25, 2025 / Amdocs (NASDAQ:DOX), a leading provider of software and services to communications and media companies, today announced the launch of its new RAN automation platform, Amdocs Cognitive RAN Automation, and rApp ecosystem, to support enhanced network management and optimization. Amdocs Cognitive RAN Automation, built on the O-RAN Software Community (OSC) open source non-real-time RAN Intelligent Controller (RIC), has been created by Amdocs to support both traditional and cloud-based RAN environments.
In today's complex, ever-evolving telecommunications industry, communication service providers (CSPs) are encountering unprecedented challenges in managing their increasingly intricate network environments. This complexity brings heightened pressure to ensure networks are well-optimized, total cost of ownership (TCO) remains manageable, and customer experience remains paramount - all while navigating the transition to virtualized RAN solutions.
To address these challenges, Amdocs is introducing its Cognitive RAN Automation and rApp ecosystem, designed to streamline operations, leverage AI/ML technologies, and foster a collaborative environment for continuous innovation and adaptability.
Benefits and features of Cognitive RAN Automation platform include:
Remarkable Flexibility Across RAN Vendors: Unlike some proprietary solutions, Amdocs' platform is vendor-neutral, and functions with various RAN vendors, with support for both traditional and cloud-based RAN environments.
Built on the Power of Open Source: Amdocs' rApps are built on the O-RAN Software Community (OSC) open source non-real-time RIC, ensuring compatibility and flexibility across different RAN environments.
Extensive rApp Ecosystem: Amdocs provides a suite of pre-built rApps, including those for energy savings and massive MIMO. Additionally, the platform supports a partner ecosystem for the development and certification of third-party rApps.
Harness the Power of AI, GenAI and Machine Learning: rApps leverage advanced AI, genAI and machine learning technologies to optimize network operations, improve energy efficiency, and enhance overall network performance.
Tailor-Made for Unique Needs: The platform includes an rApp sandbox, allowing CSPs to build their own custom rApps based on their specific needs. This sandbox utilizes existing data feeds and AI models already integrated into the platform.
Seamless Integration for Rapid Deployment: Amdocs' rApps are pre-integrated with their network deployment and operations solutions, such as Network Optimization Suite and Service Assurance Suite, making it easier for CSPs to and manage their network with a single source of data.
"With the launch of the Amdocs Cognitive RAN Automation solution, Amdocs is taking another significant step towards network modernization, addressing a critical challenge for service providers," said Anthony Goonetilleke, Group President of Technology, Head of Strategy, Amdocs. "Our platform and rApps not only optimize network operations and reduce total cost of ownership, but also provide a gradual and scalable way for customers moving towards both cloud RAN and open RAN environments."
Amdocs will be showcasing Cognitive RAN Automation at Mobile World Congress Barcelona, March 3-6, 2025.
