Hello, and welcome to TelecomTV. I'm James Pearce, and I'm delighted to be joined today by Alexander Valchuk, who is from Ericsson. Thank you so much for joining us. We're going to talk about configuring RAN slicing parameters for differentiated connectivity services, which can be quite a complex and time-consuming task. How can such complexity be managed at scale across a nationwide network?
Alexander Valchuk, Ericsson (00:25):
Thank you, James, for this question. It's very relevant these days. As we know, RAN is very dynamic, and the new ways of managing and orchestrating RAN are very important. In this proof point, we're introducing a first-of-its-kind integrated solution, which includes both service management and orchestration and intelligent control to manage RAN at scale, and then to basically control these changes when the RAN changes and operations change. So eventually, this solution will bring or will serve as the foundation for autonomous operations, and we are very happy to introduce the first of its implementation at this event, the Ericsson OSS/BSS Summit. Thank you very much.
