Únase a este webinar para descubrir cómo Adtran está llevando la IA de la teoría a la operación diaria mediante Mosaic One Clarity\, una innovadora solución impulsada por el marco REAL AI (Reasoning\, Explaining\, Acting and Learning – Razonar\, Explicar\, Actuar y Aprender). \nAl convertir los datos de la red y de los suscriptores en inteligencia accionable\, Mosaic One Clarity permite a los operadores tomar decisiones operativas más rápidas\, inteligentes y consistentes. \nA medida que las redes de fibra óptica continúan creciendo en tamaño y complejidad\, contar únicamente con visibilidad sobre la infraestructura ya no es suficiente. Los equipos de operaciones necesitan capacidades predictivas\, recomendaciones automatizadas y herramientas que les permitan priorizar los eventos que realmente impactan la experiencia del cliente. \nDurante esta sesión conocerá cómo la estrategia de IA de Adtran permite a los proveedores de servicios evolucionar desde un modelo de resolución reactiva de incidentes hacia un enfoque proactivo de aseguramiento de la red\, gracias al análisis inteligente de la causa raíz\, el mantenimiento predictivo y el aprendizaje continuo. \nAdemás\, descubrirá cómo integrar la inteligencia artificial de forma transparente en los flujos de trabajo existentes de los Centros de Operaciones de Red (NOC)\, los equipos de atención al cliente y las operaciones de campo. A través de análisis explicables\, recomendaciones guiadas y automatización progresiva\, la propuesta de Adtran ayuda a reducir costos operativos\, acelerar la resolución de incidencias\, mejorar la satisfacción de los usuarios y aumentar la confiabilidad de la red\, sin necesidad de realizar cambios significativos en la infraestructura existente. \n \n \n Regístrate aquí\n \n \n \n¿Qué aprenderá?\n\nLa visión y estrategia de Adtran para la operación inteligente de redes de acceso impulsadas por inteligencia artificial.\nQué es REAL AI y cómo sus capacidades de Razonar\, Explicar\, Actuar y Aprender potencian la gestión de redes.\nCómo Mosaic One Clarity transforma las operaciones de red y el aseguramiento de los servicios.\nEstrategias de mantenimiento predictivo y gestión proactiva de la experiencia del cliente.\nAnálisis de causa raíz basado en IA para redes de acceso y redes dentro del hogar (in-home networks).\nCómo reducir desplazamientos técnicos (truck rolls)\, tiempos de reparación y complejidad operativa.\nCasos de uso reales y recomendaciones prácticas para iniciar la adopción de inteligencia artificial en la operación de redes.\n\n¿Quiénes deberían asistir?\nEste webinar está dirigido a: \n\nEjecutivos de proveedores de servicios de telecomunicaciones.\nGerentes de operaciones de red.\nIngenieros de Centros de Operaciones de Red (NOC).\nArquitectos de redes.\nLíderes de experiencia del cliente.\nOperadores de redes de banda ancha y fibra óptica.\nResponsables de la toma de decisiones tecnológicas interesados en aprovechar la inteligencia artificial para alcanzar la excelencia operativa.\n\nConclusión clave\nDescubra cómo la era de la inteligencia artificial está redefiniendo la operación de las redes de acceso\, permitiendo que los proveedores de servicios evolucionen desde una gestión reactiva de incidentes hacia una administración inteligente\, predictiva y proactiva de sus redes\, mejorando la eficiencia operativa\, la calidad del servicio y la satisfacción de los clientes. \nParticipe en este webinar y conozca cómo la inteligencia artificial se está convirtiendo en una ventaja estratégica para las redes de acceso de nueva generación.
