Samsung Electronics has partnered with Amazon Web Services (AWS) to showcase the application of AI in radio access networks (RAN) at the Mobile World Congress (MWC) in Barcelona, Spain. This collaboration features the Samsung CognitiV Network Operations Suite (NOS) Copilot, an advanced AI assistant integrated within Samsung’s automation platform.
Utilizing Amazon Bedrock, a managed service for building and scaling generative AI applications, the Samsung CognitiV NOS Copilot streamlines the management of large-scale RAN. Deokwoo Jung, vice-president and head of Samsung Electronics Networks Business Network AI, emphasized the transformative potential of AI, stating, “AI is more than a buzzword these days and it’s an applicable technology that we are seeing change every industry.” The suite includes AI-powered network automation applications for comprehensive lifecycle management, from planning to optimization. By presenting data clearly and translating raw data into actionable insights, the AI assistant simplifies operators’ tasks.
Seamlessly integrated into existing RAN systems, Samsung CognitiV NOS Copilot communicates in natural language, reducing network management complexities. It also offers deployment options across various platforms, including Amazon Bedrock, and enhances network analysis and troubleshooting. This tool has the potential to provide operators with actionable explanations and technical summaries for improved network management. Samsung is also exploring the use of AI and machine learning in radio intelligent controller applications, aiming to deliver a comprehensive suite of capabilities.
AWS Korea managing director Kee Ho Ham expressed excitement about the collaboration, stating, “By leveraging Amazon Bedrock, operators can harness the power of AI to build smarter, more efficient networks while reducing complexity and operational costs.”
