About IBM Cloud Pak for Network Automation
Communications service providers (CSPs) are embracing cloud and virtualization as they deliver new 5G and edge computing services that drive growth and improve customer experiences. IBM Cloud Pak for Network Automation is an AI-powered telco cloud platform that enables the automation of network operations so CSPs can transform their networks, evolve to zero-touch operations, reduce OPEX and deliver services faster. Specialized network automation capabilities — to help deliver new 5G and edge computing services faster — are built on top of powerful automation services that underlie all four IBM Cloud Paks for Automation. Get insight into how your processes run, visualize issues, pinpoint fixes and prioritize actions. DISH is differentiating from other 5G CSPs by building a greenfield, cloud-native 5G network from the ground up, with end-to-end orchestration and automation to deliver high-velocity services at low cost with guaranteed SLAs.
