Power Intelligent, Autonomous 5G Networks

We deliver a 3GPP-compliant Network Data Analytics Function (NWDAF) that transforms real-time network data into predictive intelligence, enabling smarter decisions, automated optimisation, and continuous improvement across 5G Standalone networks.

Challenges

Industry Challenges

5G cores generate more operational data than teams can effectively utilise

5G cores generate more operational data than teams can effectively utilise

Network functions continuously produce vast amounts of data, making it difficult to extract timely insights that improve operational performance.

Static network policies cannot keep pace with dynamic network conditions

Static network policies cannot keep pace with dynamic network conditions

Traffic demand, subscriber mobility, service usage, and slice performance change constantly, requiring analytics-driven decision-making rather than fixed operational rules.

Manual optimisation limits network agility

Manual optimisation limits network agility

Operations teams often rely on reactive analysis and manual intervention, delaying optimisation and reducing overall network efficiency.

Delivering differentiated services requires continuous intelligence

Delivering differentiated services requires continuous intelligence

Maintaining service quality across network slices, enterprise workloads, and evolving subscriber demands depends on real-time analytics that support intelligent network behaviour.

NWDAF

Product Overview

The Intelligence Layer for 5G Standalone Networks

NWDAF (Network Data Analytics Function) is the analytics engine defined by 3GPP for 5G Standalone networks. It collects operational data from multiple network functions, enriches network intelligence with DPI-derived application insights, analyses network behaviour using AI and machine learning, and exposes actionable analytics to authorised network functions and operational systems.
NWDAF delivers predictive insights into traffic demand, subscriber mobility, network load, service experience, and network slice performance for consumption by authorised network functions and operational systems.

The Outcomes Are Clear

01 Predictive intelligence
02 Smarter network decisions
03 More autonomous 5G operations
