Telefónica Global Solutions (TGS) unveiled its plans for a network-as-a-service (NaaS) solution.

The five-year venture builds on its Dynamic Network connectivity service with the creation of a fully-programmable, standards-aligned NaaS platform.

The Dynamic Network-NaaS 2030 vision touts a simplified user experience in managing global connectivity options, while a network-as-code foundation allows programmatic network configuration through APIs.

Autonomous network features such as AI-driven automation of purchases, deployments, and security are featured, as well as self-healing network properties. Last mile management is also automated, with the integration of 5G, low-earth orbit (LEO), broadband, and other elements.

The worldwide arm of the Spanish telco also pointed to its SD-WAN-as-a-service (SD-WANaaS), and coverage in more than 170 countries through Telefónica’s international private network and partner ecosystem.

“Our goal is to be a trusted partner for organizations embarking on digital transformation, providing connectivity solutions that are not only customizable and programmable, but also intelligent and adaptive,” Kelly Álvarez, product and marketing director at TGS, explained. “In today’s rapidly evolving digital landscape, businesses need networks that can keep pace with change, and our Dynamic Network-NaaS solution is designed to empower them with the flexibility, resilience, and innovation they require to thrive.”

Launched in 2023, TGS’s Dynamic Network strategy runs parallel to Telefónica’s Autonomous Network Journey (ANJ) program, which aims to build out a level-four (L4) autonomous network, and involves collaboration with both Huawei and TM Forum.

Its Dynamic Network-NaaS offering joins recent moves such as Ericsson and Telstra’s tie-up on automated networks

Away from Ericsson, recent autonomous networks initiatives have come from IBM and its recent IBM Network Intelligence release. An artificial intelligence for IT operations (AIOps) platform from Ribbon Communications, meanwhile, was released to help service providers and enterprises transition to autonomous networks.
