Nokia has introduced its AVA
Data Suite, designed to run on Google Cloud, to help communication service
providers (CSPs) standardize data and facilitate the development of AI/ML
software applications.
Nokia AVA Data Suite provides CSPs and data scientists
standardized, pre-correlated data product packages across 4G,
5G, and fixed domains to accelerate the development of AI solutions for
enhanced network performance and sustainability, improved subscriber experience,
and new revenue streams.
Nokia AVA Data Suite, derived from Nokia's vast experience in
building hundreds of network and subscriber experience use cases, seamlessly
integrates with Google Cloud's BigQuery and Vertex AI to create powerful AI/ML
use cases that drive innovation in the telecommunications industry.
BigQuery's scalable and serverless data warehouse
architecture can serve as both the data source or the data storage for Nokia
AVA Data Suite, ensuring data readiness and handling of large data sets for
AI/ML applications.
Vertex
AI provides the infrastructure needed for building and training AI/ML models.
Nokia AVA Data Suite feeds correlated data to Vertex AI to create and fine-tune
machine learning models optimized for specific use cases, such as network
optimization or predictive maintenance.
Nokia's rigorous testing has demonstrated that the time
required for data standardization in AI/ML applications can be dramatically
slashed to a mere three to four weeks, a remarkable contrast to the conventional
methods that typically demand an arduous four-month timeline.
AVA Data Suite works in conjunction with Nokia's AVA Open
Analytics, an automation framework that helps CSPs move away from monolithic,
centralized data "lakes" to a hybrid data mesh architecture that
abstracts technical complexity and allows data scientists to focus instead on
the needs of their AI/ML use cases.
Principal Analyst at Analysys
Masin, Adaora Okeleke said “CSPs have experienced high costs, long lead times,
and lack of agility when implementing AI/ML projects due to challenges
associated with preparing and accessing high quality data sets for these
projects. Nokia AVA Data Suite and Google Cloud will help resolve these
challenges by providing a suite of curated network and IT datasets which can
form a common data layer that can be exposed and consumed to accelerate an
AI/analytics model, application development, and operations.”
Vivek Gupta, Head of Telco AI
Solutions and Partnerships, Google Cloud said “The integration of Nokia AVA
Data Suite with Google Cloud provides CSPs with a standard library of high-quality reusable network and IT data products. This collaboration will help
CSPs unleash the full potential of artificial intelligence and machine learning
to build, manage, and maintain their network.”
Hamdy Farid, Senior Vice
President, Business Applications at Nokia also remarked that Nokia Data Suite
represents the latest step we have taken to provide CSPs and deep intelligence
across our security, automation, and monetization solutions. Through our
important partnership with Google Cloud, we can help CSPs accelerate AI/ML
projects and move them closer to realizing zero-touch automation for managing
and improving their network operations and services.
