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.
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.
Product Overview
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
Capabilities
Implement standards-based analytics that integrate seamlessly with the 5G Standalone Core while supporting interoperability across multi-vendor environments.
Collect and correlate analytics from multiple 5G network functions to create a comprehensive operational view of network behaviour.
Forecast network demand, traffic patterns, resource utilisation, and congestion using machine learning models trained on real-time operational data.
Continuously identify abnormal network conditions, operational deviations, and emerging service risks before they impact network performance.
Monitor utilisation, performance, and Quality of Service across individual network slices to support differentiated enterprise and consumer services.
Analyse mobility behaviour and handover patterns to improve resource allocation, mobility management, and service continuity.
Provide authorised network functions and operational systems with standards-based analytics that support intelligent policy decisions and automated optimisation.
Enable policy-driven automation by supplying predictive analytics that support dynamic resource management and autonomous network operations.
Process
NWDAF continuously gathers operational data from multiple 5G Core network functions, creating a unified analytics foundation.
AI/ML models analyse relationships between network load, subscriber behaviour, mobility events, service performance, and network slice utilisation.
The platform forecasts demand, detects anomalies, and produces analytics that anticipate changing network conditions before they affect performance.
Standards-based analytics services make insights available to authorised network functions and operational systems for policy and operational decision-making.
Network functions consume analytics to optimise resources, improve service quality, and automate operational decisions in real time.
Results
Enable network functions and operations teams to make data-driven decisions using real-time analytics from across the 5G Core.
Optimise capacity, resource allocation, and utilisation through predictive analytics and intelligent policy decisions.
Maintain consistent performance across multiple network slices while supporting differentiated enterprise and consumer services.
Predict traffic growth and emerging bottlenecks before they impact network performance or customer experience.
Support closed-loop optimisation that reduces manual intervention and improves operational agility.
Build an intelligent analytics layer that supports the evolution towards self-optimising and autonomous 5G networks.
