The partners' innovative idea, part of a
comprehensive project with six other global telecommunications
leaders, was recognized at TM Forum's DTW Ignite event.
NEW
YORK, July 24, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Sand
Technologies, a global AI solutions company, and Telkomsel,
one of the world's largest mobile operators and the leading
provider of digital telecommunications services in Indonesia, announced that their use of GenAI
and large language models (LLMs) to improve telecom network
planning and operations won TM Forum's Best Moonshot Catalyst -
Attendees' Choice Award. The award-winning project anchored a
wide-ranging AI collaboration with six other telecommunications
leaders.
The companies' collaborative moonshot concept, honored at DTW
Ignite, leverages GenAI and LLMs to communicate and predict future
network demand so operators can identify and optimize site
deployments. By using this AI tool, Communications Service
Providers (CSPs) can gain confidence in their strategic CapEx
decisions by more-accurately predicting the return on
investment.
Now moving from proof of concept (POC) to commercial deployment,
the solution recommends site enhancements based on network usage,
public and private benchmarking statistics, social media metrics,
census data and even satellite imagery. It was the only Moonshot
Catalyst Award submission to address the "AI," "5G monetization"
and "network infrastructure" topics.
"For our work to be recognized by a knowledgeable association
such as TM Forum is a phenomenal testament to the quality of our AI
solutions," said Fred Swaniker, CEO
of Sand Technologies. "We're also thankful for brilliant partners
like Telkomsel who have chosen to work with us in harnessing
generative AI to automate network maintenance in Indonesia. We're incredibly proud of this
accomplishment and excited for the journey ahead."
TM Forum's Catalyst Awards recognize achievements in industry
innovation, collaboration and growth through POCs. The Attendees'
Choice Award is determined by on-site voting by DTW Ignite
attendees. TM Forum's 800+ member companies work together to help
CSPs and their suppliers transform and thrive in the digital
era.
This year's Moonshot Catalyst Awards category acknowledged
initiatives that aim to provide groundbreaking and commercially
viable technology solutions in an interactive manner.
