From the first call on Vodafone’s network 40 years ago to today’s 5G Standalone (5GSA) infrastructure, we’ve come a long way.   5GSA is a major leap forward. On a dedicated network, built from the ground-up for 5G, it delivers faster speeds, lower latency, and smarter energy use. And it’s not just about better streaming - it’s about enabling real-time innovation.   For businesses, network slicing is a great example of what 5GSA can do. This technology enables organisations to carve out their own private lane on the network, tailored to their specific needs. At Glastonbury, @VodafoneThree used network slicing to connect 102 payment machines across three bars, enabling up to two transactions per minute. This led to seamless payment operations and allowed festival-goers to enjoy more of their favourite artists without having to wait in long queues.   We’re investing in our networks to bring 5GSA to more of our customers across Europe in the months and years ahead.

🚀 Building the Future of Radio Access Network Operations with AI The telecommunications industry is experiencing unprecedented complexity with 5G deployments, Open RAN architectures, the emergence of AI-RAN and 6G research. RAN engineers are at the frontlines, managing thousands of base stations, analyzing massive datasets, and ensuring network performance 24/7. 🚀 The Challenge Today's RAN engineers face: ✔️ Multi-vendor environments with diverse management interfaces ✔️ Data overload from thousands of KPI metrics and alarms ✔️ Complex troubleshooting across multiple network layers ✔️ Rapid technology evolution requiring continuous learning 🤖The Solution: Intelligent RAN Copilot Here is a comprehensive framework for building an Instruction-Following Transformer Copilot specifically designed for RAN engineers. This isn't just another chatbot—it's a domain-expert AI assistant that: ✅ Understands telecom terminology (RSRP, SINR, eNB, gNB, etc.) ✅ Generates executable commands (SQL queries, API calls, CLI scripts) ✅ Provides role-based responses for NOC, Field, and Planning engineers ✅ Validates outputs to prevent network disruptions ✅ Grounds responses in real-time network data 🔧Key Technical Innovations 🎯 Role-Based Personas: Different response styles for NOC engineers (concise, action-oriented) vs. Field engineers (detailed procedures with safety considerations) 🛡️ Hallucination Prevention: Multi-layer validation system with real-time fact-checking against OSS data 📊 Real-Time Grounding: Integration with streaming KPI data, alarms, and configuration changes via Kafka pipelines 🔍 RAG Architecture: Vector-based knowledge retrieval from technical documentation, procedures, and best practices 📈Real-World Impact Reduction in problem resolution time Automation of repetitive tasks Decrease in training time for new engineers System availability with <3 second response times The telecommunications industry is at an inflection point. By combining domain expertise with cutting-edge AI, we can empower RAN engineers to build and operate the networks that will power our digital future.

We are proud to share that VodafoneThree has selected Nokia as a RAN supplier in a significant new eight-year deal. This strategic win marks Nokia’s return as Vodafone and Three’s supplier in the UK. We were also selected for VodafoneThree's Core Network modernization project. The deal is part of the largest privately funded telecommunications infrastructure project in Europe, which will deliver 5G coverage to 99% of the UK population by 2034. Justin Hotard, President and CEO at Nokia said: "Today’s networks need new levels of performance, trust, and resilience. We are pleased that VodafoneThree has chosen our industry-leading network solutions to build a future-proof 5G standalone network across the UK to meet the needs of customers today and as the AI supercycle accelerates."
