Episode 61: Agentic AI and the Semantic Knowledge Plane - with Vitria Technology

Saison 2026 · Épisode 61

vendredi 8 mai 2026 • Durée 28:19

Can Agentic AI handle the complexity of modern telecom? In this episode, Dale Skeen, CTO of Vitria Technology, joins Robert Curran to discuss why simply having "more data" isn't enough for autonomous operations and how the "Semantic Knowledge Plane" provides the reasoning and context AI needs to succeed.

Inside this episode:

The Data vs. Knowledge Gap: Why standard databases fail to capture the complex dependencies of 5G networks and how semantics define the true nature of network relationships.
Building Trust in AI: How a knowledge plane provides guardrails and explainability, forcing LLMs to use "chain of thought" reasoning to eliminate hallucinations.
Incremental Transformation: Skip the "big bang" failures. Learn how to build a "minimum viable knowledge graph" in 90-100 day sprints with measurable ROI.
Real-World Results: Discover how operators are achieving 95% triage accuracy before customer impact and 20-30% year-over-year productivity gains.
The Self-Evolving Plane: A look at tools that harvest knowledge from telemetry, troubleshooting guides, and closed tickets to create a self-learning system.

Whether you are looking for a competitive cost advantage or faster service innovation, this discussion explains why persistent knowledge is a telecom operator's most tangible business asset.

Episode 59: A Clean-Slate Approach to Broadband Automation, with Radisys

Saison 2026 · Épisode 59

mercredi 18 mars 2026 • Durée 01:04:59

The latest episode of the "Talking Transformation" podcast brings together industry perspectives from Appledore Research and Radisys to discuss a critical turning point for telecommunications. As broadband shifts from a modern luxury to an essential utility, operators are challenged to reconcile "commodity" service status with the need for rapid, continuous innovation.

The conversation features Hans-Jörg Kolbe and Robert Soukup from Radisys, who detail how their Connect Modular Broadband (CMB) solution is enabling operators to take back control of their technical destiny.

Key Highlights & Strategic Insights

1. The "Design to Cost" Revolution

The genesis of Radisys’ modern broadband approach stems from a radical "Design to Cost" initiative at Deutsche Telekom, heavily inspired by the automotive industry (specifically BMW). By "tearing apart" hardware and software to create total transparency, Radisys applied lean manufacturing principles to telecom, identifying cost drivers and rebuilding systems from a "clean slate" to achieve step-change improvements in efficiency.

2. Architecture Built on Intent and Abstraction

At the heart of the CMB solution is the move away from rigid, proprietary "black boxes" toward a modular, software-defined architecture.

* Abstraction

* Intent-Based Networking

3. Real-Time Agility with Subscriber Session Steering

The podcast highlights the power of **Subscriber Session Steering (BBF WT474)**, which allows the network to detect a "first sign of life" from a device and dynamically program its path through the network on the fly.

4. Setting the Foundation for AI

Episode 58: Orange, AI and Autonomous Networks

Saison 2026 · Épisode 58

mardi 27 janvier 2026 • Durée 31:01

Talking Transformation: Navigating the AI Revolution with Orange

In this episode of Talking Transformation, Robert Curran sits down with Olivier Simon, Head of Data and AI Initiatives at Orange, to explore the front lines of telecom’s autonomous future. With over 300 million customers across 26 countries, Orange is a global leader driving the industry toward Level 4 autonomous networks—a state of closed-loop, self-healing automation.

Key Discussion Highlights:

Strategic AI Implementation: Simon outlines how Orange utilizes AI across the entire network lifecycle, from optimizing multi-billion euro investments in site placement to fine-tuning thousands of radio access network (RAN) parameters.
Driving Real ROI: The conversation delves into the pragmatic approach of targeting "high-cost pockets." For a group like Orange, where field services exceed €2 billion annually, even a 4–5% efficiency gain through AI and computer vision results in tens of millions of euros in savings.
The Power of Digital Twins: Discover how Orange is breaking down traditional data silos. By creating digital twins, they build a unified representation of complex, multi-domain networks to automate incident management and analyze service impact in real-time.
The Shifting Telecom Ecosystem: The episode examines the evolving boundaries between traditional operators, vendors (like Nokia and Ericsson), and hyperscalers (Google, AWS, Microsoft). Simon highlights how the "rules of the game" are changing as data-native companies enter the network space.
Agile Innovation in the Era of GenAI: With AI technology accelerating at an unprecedented pace, Orange has shifted from long-term project cycles to pragmatic six-month cycles. This allows them to stay current with breakthroughs like Generative AI, Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG), and AI agents.

This episode offers insight on how this pioneering operator is . Essential listening for industry professionals looking to understand the required to move from traditional standardization to a fast-paced, IT-centric way of working.

Episode 57 - Systems Integration and Autonomous Networks

Saison 2026 · Épisode 57

dimanche 11 janvier 2026 • Durée 19:14

What do autonomous networks mean for the traditional big systems integration effort that has been such a feature of developing more automated, integrated telecom operations? Robert is joined by Appledore Principal Analysts Grant Lenahan and Shanthi Ravindran who discuss the topic and the findings from a newly released research report.
