For 5G mobile services, Malaysia’s 34 million people rely on an almost unique network: a single RAN owned by the government, but connected to the separate mobile core networks of competing (retail) service providers. Ericsson Managed Services provides day-to-day operations support of the shared RAN.

Faced with the challenge of unconventional and unpredictable RAN traffic patterns, Ericsson has piloted an solution to optimize the allocation of bandwidth automatically, dynamically. Its resulting Intent-based Operations (IBO) illustrates the real-world results achievable from the application of intent-based thinking to autonomous networks.
