Summary

The advent of 5G networks signifies a major technological advancement, transitioning from traditional physical infrastructure to virtualized, software-based solutions, and distributed cloud-based architectures, which present several challenges for operators. To address these, the Network Data Analytics Function (NWDAF) defined by 3GPP plays a crucial role in providing standardized data analytics and machine learning capabilities to manage complex network operations and enhance customer experience. Elastic and Wilab have partnered to offer robust, scalable solutions that integrate NWDAF, enabling operators to achieve end-to-end network observability, automation, and subscriber-centric analytics. Their collaboration focuses on providing vendor-independent, flexible approaches to network management, leveraging a library of predefined use cases for network assurance and optimization. This partnership empowers operators to handle the vast data generated by 5G networks, offering advanced analytics and automation capabilities to streamline operations, reduce costs, and deliver superior user experiences.
