JSC Ingenium strengthens its technological leadership thanks to Maestro de Red 5G

Under the title “Maestro de Red 5G” the company is undertaking a new R&D project, approved by the Centro para el Desarrollo Tecnológico y la Innovación, E.P.E (CDTI), a certifying body under the Ministerio de Ciencia, Innovación y Universidades, and co-financed by the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF 2021-2027).

The main objective of the project is to research and develop a complete and practical structure that leverages data analysis based on Artificial Intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) solutions for network control, management and orchestration. At the same time, it bridges the gap between the business and technical domain by exposing the capabilities necessary for the business domain to create an instance, operate and modify network services and tenants.

This project includes the design of an overall architecture that is sustainable and energy efficient, to reduce environmental impact and reduce operational costs; the evolution of the current monitoring systems to accommodate the defined architecture; the enhancement and development of the current 5G core network prototype, allowing it to handle a larger data network; and the development of a new network architecture that will allow the enterprise domain to manage a larger data network.

“Maestro de Red 5G” is in line with the company’s strategy of devoting around 45% of its resources to R&D, which has provided it with cutting-edge technology capable of providing a solution to the daily and constant challenges faced by mobile operators wishing to compete and differentiate themselves in terms of value. This brings to five the number of R&D projects approved by CDTI in the last 15 years. “Our strong commitment to R&D has allowed us to achieve international recognition and opens doors for us to continue competing in a highly competitive and constantly evolving mobile market,” said José Manuel Losada, Chief Technology Officer of JSC Ingenium.

“One of the key challenges for operators as they embrace 5G is to improve network operations and maintenance. The concept of a single network for everything changes completely. The application of artificial intelligence and machine learning techniques will allow us to bring more compatibility to the network, so that the network becomes agile, flexible and intelligent to serve the business purpose, while enabling rapid service innovation and significantly reducing the time to market for mobile operators,” adds Losada.
