As our world grows increasingly digital, modern society and economic activities rely heavily on resilient infrastructure—making network stability vital to public well-being and digital participation. As the "brain" of the network, the core network supports millions of users, where any service interruption carries significant societal impact. However, as core networks grow more complex, traditional O&M methods can no longer keep pace with rising user expectations. Autonomous Networks (AN) Level 4 (L4) has emerged as the definitive solution to this challenge.
2026 marks the acceleration of commercial AN L4 deployment. TM Forum, together with industry partners, released the AN 8.0 White Paper, signaling that AN L4 value scenarios are entering the fast track of commercial deployment. With maturing agent technologies and refined industry standards, operators are ramping up investments in AN, positioning the next two to three years as a critical window for AN L4 planning and deployment. Meanwhile, core network high-stability assessment has become an industry consensus. Since the assessment standards were released, seven operators have obtained official core network AN L4 assessment certificates from TM Forum.
Over the past year, Huawei Cloud Core Network CORESpirit has focused on two directions: high stability and high efficiency. It has built a target system centered on closed-loop operations of both fault management and change management, achieving self-monitoring, self-recovery, service continuity, and automated closed-loop change management—reaching the AN L4 milestone for core networks. The related solutions have now been deployed across the networks of 25 leading operators worldwide, significantly boosting O&M efficiency, cutting service recovery time, and improving the operational experience of O&M personnel.
The Global Core Summit (GCS) 2026 is coming soon. Huawei Cloud Core Network CORESpirit remains committed to continuous innovation and industry leadership. Through dual breakthroughs in solutions and technologies, CORESpirit will help operators tackle key challenges, drive the development of AN and high-stability standards, and support global operators in achieving efficient O&M and network stability as they fully embrace AN L4. We look forward to your participation!
