MWC: Laying the ground for agentic AI

It is still early day for agentic AI deployments in the network. Nonetheless during MWC several telcos and their suppliers were both demonstrating and discussing the role of agentic AI in helping automate network operations.

Delegate interest in Deutsche Telekom’s automated network management tool co-developed with Google MINDR (Multi-Agentic Intelligent Network Diagnostics & Remediation) appeared to keep its booth demonstrators very busy on day one of the show. MINDR is designed to help DT perform autonomous diagnostics and operations across complex, multi-domain telecommunications networks. Announced in the run up to MWC, it is a follow up to its RAN Guardian agentic AI tool, its previous agentic AI for network operations co-developed with Google.

MINDR goes further than RAN Guardian by enabling autonomous diagnostics and operations across complex, multi-domain telecommunications networks, according to DT.

The telco’s stated aim is to move from reactive trouble-shooting and towards predictive, service-driven automation across the end-to-end network and detecting.
