Automation – answer to the Capacity Crunch or Recipe for disaster

The rapid adoption of smart phones and tablets is driving phenomenal growth in data usage. Networks will not be able to cope without radical change. Amdocs believe that two types of automation within the network will be key to future success. The first type of automation is through Self-Optimizing and organizing networks (SON). Neil will explain Amdocs experiences of SON and how closed loop optimization of networks is the secret to success. The second type of automation is automation of the network roll out process. Justin will explain Amdocs experiences in Small Cell rollout and using network data to drive placement of Small cells.
