As 5G mobile networks grow in complexity, it’s becoming impossible for human network engineers to manage the network without automation. The evolution from rules-based automation to the use of AI/ML is creating a category of management solutions that can anticipate problems in the network and fix them in real time.
Digital twins are broadly used in complex digital systems that need an exact mirror image of the digital environment in all its complexity so that testing and optimization can be done without disrupting the real-world system at work.
