The SON for mobile backhaul Proof of Concept shows how analytics and software defined networking (SDN) work together to create programmable, self-aware networks that assure an optimal service experience. The same level of experience can be achieved with 20 percent less transport infrastructure than is needed in today’s networks.
The self-aware network extends SDN beyond automated service provisioning to reconfigure network resources based on analysis of the factors that impact customer experience and service level agreements.
“It is a major step towards teaching networks to be self-aware and realizing our Technology Vision 2020. It also reduces total cost of transmitting each bit by making transport networks intelligent enough to take network planning and daily operational decisions in the most cost-effective way on their own,” said Hossein Moiin, executive vice president and CTO at Nokia Networks.
