Autonomous networks represent the future of telecommunications, integrating AI and automation to transform network operations. Unlike traditional automated systems, true autonomy involves awareness, analysis, decision-making, and self-execution. With a projected market value of $17.5B by 2029, these networks promise real-time adaptability, intent-driven orchestration, and predictive maintenance. Key enablers include a common data framework, digital twins, knowledge graphs, and multi-domain orchestrators. While most service providers are still at lower maturity levels, ongoing advancements in GenAI, intent modeling, and orchestration are paving the way for intelligent, self-healing networks .
