BARCELONA, March 3,
2025 /PRNewswire/ -- MOBILE WORLD CONGRESS
-- Cisco (NASDAQ: CSCO), the worldwide leader in networking
and security, today announced networking innovations that empower
service providers to introduce differentiated services and deliver
assured, AI-connected experiences at scale.
Cisco's Agile Services Networking fundamentally evolves how
service providers build and operate their networks—opening new ways
to monetize the services needed to compete in the AI marketplace. A
blueprint for growth, the architecture combines high-speed,
feature-rich Silicon One routing, a unified software experience,
and converged IP and optics within a single, seamless network.
Early adopters of Cisco Agile Services Networking, including
Arelion, Lumen, and Reliance Jio, have already vastly improved the
performance of their network to cut costs, generate new business,
and improve the customer experience.
"The pace of innovation in AI is astounding. Technical
breakthroughs are just beginning to translate into new experiences
for consumers and applications for businesses that will reshape how
the world works and connects," said Jeetu
Patel, Executive Vice President and Chief Product Officer,
Cisco. "This shift presents massive opportunities for service
providers to grow their businesses and reduce costs by modernizing
their infrastructure for AI. Cisco is perfectly positioned to help
service providers monetize these new revenue streams, and our Agile
Services Networking delivers the silicon, systems, and software
innovation they need to thrive."
Cisco Agile Services Networking: End-to-end Assurance for
Differentiated Subscriber Experiences
Today, Cisco expands Agile Services Networking with two new
innovations that deliver real-time visibility into both on-network
and off-network connectivity for true end-to-end assurance.
Combined, these solutions enable visibility from home- and
mobile-connected users through to service provider core networks
and off-net cloud-delivered services.
- ThousandEyes Connected Devices: Extends the power of the
Cisco ThousandEyes platform to service providers with enhanced
visibility across subscriber experiences, from home to off-network
services. Now, with insight into last-mile network performance,
service providers can mitigate issues before users are impacted and
compete on experience, not just speed.
- Provider Connectivity Assurance: New AI-powered 'User
Experience' capability enhances mobile service provider network
performance. With real-time traffic insights and predictive demand
intelligence, service providers can enhance user experience, reduce
congestion, maximize speed, and dynamically adjust spectrum
usage.
With enhanced visibility and AI-powered insight, service
providers like Virgin Media O2 and Odido are leveraging assurance
for increased customer satisfaction and net promoter scores (NPS),
uncovering new opportunities for differentiated services and
reducing churn.
"In an industry that's fast consolidating around the same
network type and service, we take pride in accelerating all the
ways in which we deliver better service and more value to the
millions of customers that rely on us," said Gareth Lister, Director of Customer Products,
Virgin Media O2. "Virgin Media O2 has long been recognized for
ultrafast speeds and now, with ThousandEyes Connected Devices
powering our Smart Support service, we're uniquely able to see and
proactively measure our customers' connection and experience in
their home in real time."
"At Odido, delivering an exceptional customer experience is our
highest priority. Cisco's Provider Connectivity Assurance User
Experience application can provide deeper insights—into network
throughput and latency and into real application performance," said
Juan Alberto Brescoli, Head of Access Network, Odido Netherlands.
"The ability to deploy the solution directly onto existing
infrastructure eliminates the need for additional hardware or
network reconfiguration, making implementation seamless. As demand
for our Fixed Wireless Access (FWA) product continues to soar,
having a precise, real-time understanding of user experience is
more critical than ever."
