Vodafone Idea (Vi), one of India’s top telecom providers, has teamed up with HCLSoftware, a division of HCLTech, to revolutionize its 4G and 5G network performance. By adopting HCL Augmented Network Automation (HCL ANA), a state-of-the-art multi-vendor self-optimizing network (MV-SON) platform, Vi aims to enhance network efficiency, improve customer experience, and drive sustainability.
The HCL ANA platform, utilizing Artificial Intelligence (AI), enables Vi to streamline the management of its multi-vendor, multi-technology, and multi-layered network, ensuring seamless integration across its Ericsson and Samsung infrastructure. This AI-driven technology empowers Vi to independently manage and automate its network, significantly reducing reliance on proprietary OEM solutions.
Key benefits of this collaboration include improved network performance, energy savings, and enhanced sustainability. The platform’s open architecture and SMO readiness (ORAN) make it future-proof, positioning Vi to stay ahead in the evolving telecom landscape. By automating network operations, Vi will also reduce operational costs, making the network more sustainable.
As a result, Vi customers can look forward to a faster, more reliable, and energy-efficient network, enhancing their overall experience. This strategic partnership underscores Vi’s commitment to leveraging cutting-edge technology to provide superior services while promoting innovation and sustainability in India.
By focusing on automation, energy efficiency, and future-proof technology, Vi continues to position itself as a leader in India’s telecom industry, committed to meeting the growing demand for faster, more reliable mobile services.
