LIGHTSTORM CREATES COGNITIVE NOC DIGITAL TWIN USING NOKIA’ S NETWORK AUTOMATION
Lightstorm has created a Cognitive Network Operations Centre Digital Twin, leveraging Nokia’ s network automation solutions to transform the way telcos and service providers manage and optimise their networks. The platform is set to launch in the coming months, enhancing network visibility, predictive analytics, and operational efficiency.
Lightstorm partnered with Nokia to integrate Network Services Platform, NSP and Nokia Digital Operations software including Network Assurance Centre, Unified Inventory and provisioning capabilities to build a comprehensive real-time monitoring and automation framework. The Digital Twin utilises Meta’ s Llama 3. X to power AI-driven insights, enabling automated fault detection, analysis and resolution and intelligent troubleshooting, ensuring seamless and highly responsive network operations.
Nokia Network Services Platform, NSP accelerates service fulfilment and simplifies network management, assurance and optimisation. These capabilities maximise the agility, efficiency and reliability of IP and optical networks, ensuring a synchronised and holistic view of Lightstorm’ s network operations.
The Nokia Network Assurance Centre provides real-time service assurance with proactive alerts for rapid issue resolution. The Unified Inventory acts as a single source of truth, consolidating critical network data to enhance decision-making and resource optimisation. Together, these components create an intelligent, self-optimising system that reduces operational complexities, improves fault management, and enhances overall service reliability.
