Mavenir has unveiled an AI agentic-centric framework it claims can detect and resolve network issues at speed.

The Agentic Service Assurance Framework, revealed during DTW Ignite 2026, leverages an “Intent ops” engine, which the vendor said can monitor and “learn the patterns” from human network workflows, applying them autonomously.

Leaning on expertise from live network operations center (NOC) operations and third-party vendor teams, Mavenir said its framework offering can publish resolutions to network issues across layers one and three using solutions validated against a human baseline prior to execution.

“Every operator I talk to is wrestling with the same paradox: their networks are becoming more complex while the operational expertise to run them is retiring,” said Bejoy Pankajakshan, EVP and chief technology and strategy officer at Mavenir. “Intent Ops solves that paradox directly. It captures what your best engineers know, validates it, and makes it available to the entire operations organization, autonomously and at scale. This is how you build a network that genuinely runs itself.”

Aligned with TM Forum frameworks for autonomous network architectures (specifically IG1251/IG1453), Mavenir’s offering takes a multi-layer approach to automated orchestration for its product lines.

The framework spans deployment topology, application health, interface health, and service status without the need for replacing incumbent systems. Operators can even express desired outcomes via natural language, making it easier for non-technical users to interact with their networks.

“Operators need practical routes to autonomous networks that work across complex, multi-vendor environments,” said Andy Tiller, EVP for member products at the TM Forum. “Intent-based operations and knowledge capture aligned to TM Forum’s frameworks can help turn proven NOC expertise into scalable automation. Mavenir’s approach shows the direction the industry needs: open, standards-based autonomy operators can trust.”
