📡 How are operators planning to reach autonomous RAN operations by 2030?

A new global survey of Tier-1 operators by Analysys Mason reveals that rApps and the SMO framework are emerging as the preferred route to autonomous RAN — while 90% of operators view agentic AI as a significant or critical step towards Level 4 autonomy.

Join TelecomTV's Guy Daniels, Caroline Gabriel of @AnalysysMason and Claudia Muñiz of @ericsson as they unpack the findings and explore what autonomous RAN looks like in practice.
